Play It Now: Tiny & Big (the demo)
Black Pants Studio recently released the demo for Tiny and Big - Up That Mountain, a game in which you slice and grapple your way up a mountain to regain your burgled briefs. That's right; your tighty-whities were stolen from you, and you need to use your super-powered lightsaber to chop things up and get them back.
Bonus points to Black Pants Studio for their charming character designs. Big actually reminds me of No-Face from Spirited Away. (So there's one more reason not to trust him, just in case the undies thievery wasn't enough for you.) Inspired character design is one area that still seems to be lacking in videogames. And I'm not just referring to the clichéd space marine or tragically badass warrior. Indie games and bigger productions alike are often guilty of insipid player characters.
In addition to good marks for its original gameplay device and character design, the Tiny and Big demo is incredibly fun to play. But don't take my word for it!
No, seriously. Don't take my word for it. I wasn't able to get past the menu screen. It kept crashing my laptop.
If you are lucky enough to get the game running on your machine, let me know what you think of it in the comments! And if you have any tips for getting the game to run on a Macbook Pro, I'd appreciate those as well!
