Man, those pesky rocks. Being all tough to break and such. Good thing we have lasers to destroy them! Well, in Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers we do. After you're done slicing them up to your heart's desire you can pick up the pieces and throw them about with the grappling hook. Who knows? Maybe you'll find some indie music inside.
Tiny and Big combines everything I'd need in a perfect videogame; a bizarre story, physics-based puzzles, cel-shading, collecting tapes from indie bands and platforming. If you're uncertain if something like that wouldn't be your thing, I'd strongly advise you to check out the demo at the game's homepage. Who else can't wait to find Grandpa's pants?
Looks really interesting, I love this sort of game though.
What annoys me is though that neither the trailer nor the article states anywhere what platform this game appears on. It seems a common trend among gaming blogs and smaller game studios that you don't mention it, like the readers should know already or something.
It's like Dead Space but it replaces the scary/terrifying/tears/OHGODWHATISTHATTHINGIDON'TWANTTOPLAYTHISGAMEANYMORE with happy smiley fun times and platforms.
@stompy Like many smaller game studios have done this is being released on the platform that is easiest and cheapest to develop for: PC
You can play it on Windows or Linux.
Hell, I honestly don't know why you needed to ask if your reading comprehension was a little bit better or you just concentrated a little more you'd notice that the article you are lamenting actually makes a pretty tell tale sign of what platform it is on.
"I'd strongly advise you to check out the demo at the game's homepage."
Seeing as the article directs you to the the homepage to play the demo version of the game. LOGICALLY it is on a platform that allows you to download demos off of webpages. That excludes xbox/ps3 since those require going through the store.
