Skiftgardr
In Hel's cold grasp, you awaken, O shapeshifter, with the echoes of the Norns' whispers in your ear. The World Serpent stirs, its dreams threatening the bonds of Yggdrasil. You, born of elder blood and gifted with the skins of the wild, must tread the paths of the Worlds. The fate of all lies in your journey, from the misty shores of Niflheim to the golden gates of Asgard, to stay the serpent's wrath and turn the tide of Ragnarok.
----------------------
Travel through five worlds of Norse mythology and prevent Ragnarok! Enter the rainbow bridge Bifrost to travel to the next world. Defeat Jörmungandr in Asgard to win the game!
Disclaimer: I did not have much time to playtest this, it is likely completely unbalanced. Cannot guarantee that it is possible to win.

To Valhalaaaa! Surtur is a wimp :(
Cool game! I thought I was going to get an easy win on my second run, but Jörmungandr was way more powerful than I had anticipated (I'm actually not sure if I died to him or if I lost to the Ragnarok clock). Eventually beat the game though!
I'd like to see more descriptions on the items, since it's unclear which will be better than the others (not that it matters much, since you want to be shapeshifted as much as possible)
Oh yeah, and I couldn't tell why it would be advantageous to increase your Serpent form tail.
