Tiny & Big, a comic styled jump and slice platformer, gives you the unique ability to shape a whole world at your will!

On his journey through a forsaken desert he will meet mysterious creatures, no clowns, a taxi robot and his arch enemy: Big!
What it’s like
Tiny and Big offers a brisk, high-energy platforming experience defined by its 'shape-shifting' physics engine. You control Tiny, a quirky inventor navigating a vibrant, comic-book-styled world to retrieve stolen underwear from the villainous Big. The core loop revolves around manipulating the environment using tools like grapples and destructible blocks, turning the level geometry itself into the primary puzzle mechanic. Visually, it bursts with color and charm, blending third-person movement with sandbox-like destruction that feels tactile and responsive. The tone is lighthearted and comedic, frequently breaking the fourth wall to acknowledge its own absurdity. While the narrative is simple and serves mainly as a vehicle for the action, the writing delivers consistent wit. The game is structured as a series of creative stages rather than an open world, prioritizing immediate fun and inventive level design over deep lore or complex character arcs.
