Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers Demo

Sat, 25 May 2013 02:08:05 -0400

The Demo was extremely short at approximately 36 minutes. It would’ve been shorter IF I didn’t get stuck towards the end objective wise. It took a few tries to laser the rocks to reach a platform.

pros:

nice music in the form of mix tapes (switch songs with “N”)
Weaponry: rope, rocket, and laser

Cons:

Demo is too short to really form a solid opinion.
NOT noob friendly. There were some quirks to movement.
No official tutorial. The hint dialog boxes zoomed by in white on black. The visibility was a bit of an issue.

"People aren’t always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but..."

Tue, 07 May 2013 20:16:06 -0400

“People aren’t always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first. You can’t just meet someone and expect them to be everything you’re looking for and then be angry when they’re not every hope and aspiration you projected onto them. It’s foolish to believe that someone will be what you imagine them to be. And sometimes, when you give them a chance, they turn out to be better than you imagined. Different, but better.”
