![]() ![]() One cannot simply review Tiny and Big without gushing over the graphic novel-style visuals. Tiny and Big creates a grand sense of freedom since you can slice and manipulate most of the game world, but there's also the added challenge of running through the stages to earn achievements, many of which encourage you to be thrifty with your raygun and work quickly to cross the terrain. The levels are filled with secrets and collectible items, including "boring stones" to hunt down, cassette tapes that add to your soundtrack collection, and hidden rooms with some surprising secrets inside. You'll need to master quick-draw raygun skills to survive, and a little luck never hurts, either!Īnalysis: Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is nothing short of a creative, charming sort of game. Further diversifying the slice-n-jump experience, Big shows up from time to time and decides to lob heavy objects at you, forcing you to deal with both the terrain and your troublesome brother at the same time. Although the setting remains largely the same (a bright, desert world), you'll run through outdoor environments, ancient temples, and even carve your way through a giant statue's teeth. Those are in addition to your basic walking, jumping, and pushing skills, which Tiny uses at every single turn just to move through this ruined, pillar-filled world.īounding around the world, you'll complete stage after stage of puzzles that are equal parts head scratching and reflex testing in nature. To help you push stones around, you're also armed with rockets, which latch on to and shove stones at your discretion, and a grapple tool that allows you to nab and tug movable rocks wherever you please. Think of it like Nitrome's Ice Breaker games, only in 3D where you have to manipulate those rock chunks in order to progress. For starters, there's the laser, a weapon that can be used to slice just about any rock surface you see in the game. In Tiny and Big, you control Tiny, a goggle-wearing protagonist with a few helpful stone-manipulating tools at his disposal. To put if briefly: a whole lotta rocks will get sliced, tossed, juggled, and destroyed. With the team's first release, the sandbox-oriented action and physics game Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers, we get to see just what happens when you give a guy a raygun, a grapple-device, and unlimited rockets, then turn him loose in a sun-parched ruined desert world to find his pants-thieving brother. What could be worse than some cretin named Big (who also happens to be your brother) stealing the pair of mystical underpants left by your departed grandfather? Nothing, as far as the folks at Black Pants Studio are concerned. ![]()
