Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers

I honestly have no idea why Grandpa thought this was worth leaving behind...

Still slaps in 2026.

Almost 14 years later and I still think about this game. 14 years and I haven’t come across a similar concept. It’s properly unique. Also the soundtrack is fantastic. :-)

Getting 100% was enjoyable in this physics puzzle indie game. approximate amount of time to 100%: 10-20h ~ Estimated achievement difficulty: 4-5/10 (The no-death ones are the hardest) Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 x 5 maps (level select available) Multiplayer achievements: No Multiplayer. Missable achievements: No. (level select helps) Grinding Achievements: A bit. (1000 rockets and 1000 rocks) DLC-Only achievements: No. Time-gated achievements: No. Speed-run achievements: No. RNG-achievements: No. Does difficulty affect achievements: No choice. Unobtainable/glitched achievements: No. First achievement unlock: Finish the tutorial, 5 minutes. Is there a good guide: I used the ones on youtube by NEXGENEEZY. Notes: * The physics are simulated every time so you might get different outcomes * the collectible stones are affected by the particles so you will lose a bunch just due to physics, follow a guide. * If you press "O" to reload the checkpoint it DOES NOT count as a death. Feel free to use it. * I completed all the achievements and was left with 400 rockets to fire and 400 stones to collect. (i understand the rockets but you have "all stones in each level" achievements. Why 1000 Rocks in total? * Game costs just half-of-a-Silksong and often goes on 80% sale. Actually well made, and the achievements (with minor exceptions) are well designed and keep you going while rewarding skill. Recommended.

[i]Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers[/i] is a fascinatingly bizarre cel-shaded 3D platformer with physics sandbox mechanics that still stands unique in this day and age but modern expectations may take a bit of the shine away. Tiny, the main protagonist, still jumps and moves like in any indie platformer but the levels' massive scale leaves you cutting ramps into platforms or befalling pillars to cross massive gaps instead. It's an interesting concept and they certainly equip you for the industrial task, be it the cutting laser, grappling lasso, and / or rocket boosters. There's an absolute freedom too to cut through nearly everything in a level leaving no definite "right way" to reach the end, but it also means you may just also cut through the very bridge that would've saved you a lot of trouble. Along with the cool sketchy cel-shaded style and unusual story of magical pants, this would be an easy "hey, this is a pretty cool game" but I do think the slower and more methodical nature of the mechanics may dampen the incredibly fast-paced expectation in games nowadays.

simply awesome

I Cant believe I never saw it until now, this is truly just a unique and creative. Games with this type of creativity are few and far between these days. I wish there was a sequel or more to this game. The game play feels like the first time playing with the gravity gun in Half Life 2, just utter fun that put a smile on my face. Tiny & Big is just worth the money for a game design alone. I have never seen gameplay like this replicated else where. Heres to hoping for a sequel in the future.

Incredible tech demo. Mediocre game. In theory it's all about laser cutting blocks into shapes and moving them with ropes and rockets. In practice you are mostly lopping off corners and walking up the slopes. It's short, samey and every now and then the bad guy shows up to hurl rocks at you just outside of your field of view. Plotwise, the whole story revolves around a pair of underwear. Not only is the Adventure Time shtick now awfully outdated, but this type of humour really needs voice acting to work.

English ==================================================================================== A classic niche indie game and one of my all-time favorites. Short, simple, fun, very affordable, and you can finish it in no time. It has a rather impressive physics engine for its time, cel-shaded art, a pretty experimental soundtrack, and tons of charisma (I bought it a second time just to get the OST). Highly recommended; it's one of those games that you can tell was made with love. I would have loved a sequel. Español ==================================================================================== Un Juego Indie Clásico de nicho y uno de mis favoritos de toda la vida. Corto, sencillo, divertido, con un precio muy accesible y se pasa en nada de tiempo. Posee un motor de físicas propio bastante impresionante para su tiempo, una estética cel shading, un soundtrack bástate experimental y mucho carisma (lo compré una segunda vez para tener el OST). Muy recomendado, son de esos juegos que se nota que se hicieron con amor. Me hubiera encantado que sacasen una secuela.
