Tiny & Big in Grandpa's Leftovers is a puzzle-platform game developed and published by German indie team Black Pants Game Studio. Originally released as a tech demo titled Tiny & Big: Up That Mountain in March 2010,^[1] the game was expanded into a full release, with the retail version appearing on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux on June 19, 2012. Billed as a 'jump and slice platformer,' the player is tasked with manipulating levels with a selection of tools to solve 3D environmental puzzles. The game's story focuses on Tiny, an inventor, on a mission to retrieve his prized possession, a magic-imbued pair of briefs left to him by his disappeared grandfather, from his 'sandbox rival' Big, who intends to use them to rule the world.^[2]

Gameplay[edit]

As Tiny, the player progresses through the game's levels using 'the Tool,' an invention of Tiny's containing three key functions: a laser strong enough to cut through solid rock, a grappling rope for pulling objects toward the player, and a rocket for pushing items forward based on where on the item it lands. The combination of these actions forms the bulk of the gameplay, acting as the primary means of navigating the game's environments as well as being Tiny's main method of self-defense from attacks from Big. Tiny is also accompanied by the Radio, an artificial intelligence attached to a speaker in his rucksack; the Radio acts as a mentor to the player, providing prompts when needed to progress.^[3]

Plot[edit]

As the game opens, Tiny and the Radio are traveling by taxi into the 'mysterious desert,' where Tiny plans to confront Big over control of the Pants. The taxi is struck by an unknown object, leading the robotic driver to spin out of control and into a canyon. Tiny, unsettled by the crash but unscathed, collects his belongings from the crash site and attempts to continue on foot before being stopped by a cliff. Before getting the chance to think of an alternate way through, Big appears behind him, kicking him off of the cliff face.

Tiny lands in front of a massive statue, which he uses the interior and exterior of to climb upward. Along the way Big uses his Pants-powered ability to leap long distances to taunt him, leading for the entire structure to collapse behind the two. Big reveals his plan to enter a nearby pyramid to strengthen his powers, and Tiny and the Radio give chase while Big uses the Pants' telekinesis with increasingly deadly force to keep them at bay, lifting the pyramid into the sky as the chase goes on.

As Tiny and Radio pursue Big into the pyramid, they discover the origin of the Pants from the paintings on the walls of the pyramid. The Pants, which were once a normal pair of underwear, were struck by lightning and found by the Dotties, a race of mole-like creatures living in the ground; one of the creatures places the Pants on his head and gains superpowers from them, leading the others to worship him as a king. Under the eye of the leader, the Dotties are initially prosperous, forming a civilization with the pyramid and statue. Over time, though, the king is driven further into insanity by the Pants, eventually wiping out the entire population with their power.

Meanwhile, Big discovers the king's throne and sits atop it, reactivating a set of pyres within the pyramid. Fearing the possibilities of what might happen if Big keeps the Pants, Tiny and the Radio enter the king's lair and destroy the pyres, which causes the pyramid to collapse on itself. Big and Tiny have a final duel atop the floating pieces of the pyramid, which culminates in Tiny slicing a boulder over Big's head, incapacitating him.

As the wreckage of the pyramid lands, both boys wake up on the ground with the Pants laying near both over a Dottie hole. The two bicker over who their grandfather intended to be rightful owner of the pants, but before either gets the chance to grab them a Dottie surfaces from the ground and places them over its head. Knowing the entire process is going to happen again but lacking the item that drove their conflict, Big and Tiny form an unspoken truce, continuing to argue as they walk into the sunset together.

Reception[edit]

The game received a Metacritic score of 75, indicating 'generally favorable reviews' from a selection of 30 reviewers.^[4] In a positive review, PC Gamer UK’s Duncan Geere called the game's art style 'adorable,' likening the visuals to Double Fine's Psychonauts; the review would also commend the game for going 'out of its way to put you in situations where lasering things in half feels awesome,' though Geere was also concerned about the possibility of getting lost due to the freedom given to the player and felt the game was short for its retail price.^[5]Game Informer's Adam Biessener praised the degree of freedom provided by the game's laser, stating, 'Your power over the game world is immense.' Biessener was, however, more critical of the game's length, occasional bugs, and boss fights, calling the final fight with Big a 'lame rehash of the same mechanics you’ve conquered several times.'^[6]

Reviewing for Destructoid, Allistair Pinstof noted that the game 'runs out [of] ideas before its half-way point' and included moments where 'you'll wish the game was either a little more tightly designed or a little more forgiving,' but praised the game for its soundtrack and the charm of its aesthetic and comedy, stating, 'If Tiny & Big were a cartoon, it could easily occupy a time slot between Regular Show and Adventure Time.' ^[7] IGN's Anthony Gallegos felt similarly, noting that 'the look of Tiny and Big feels like someone took the cartoon Adventure Time and put it into the Borderlands engine.'^[8]

The game won the Unity Development Award at indiePub's 2011 Independent Propeller Awards,^[9] although it was not developed in Unity.

From NeoWiki

Presenters often desire to use some sort of remote-control device to advance slides or perform other functions while giving their talks. Beginning with NeoOffice 2.2.4 Patch 3, NeoOffice supports using the Apple Remote or the Keyspan Front Row Remote to start, stop, and move through a slideshow in NeoOffice Impress. (NeoOffice uses the Remote Control Wrapper open source framework from Martin Kahr to provide integration with these remotes.) If you do not have one of these remotes or a supported Macintosh, one of the older remote-control solutions may still enable you to control Impress remotely.

[edit]Using NeoOffice's Built-in Remote Control Support

If your Mac has support for Front Row or you have the Keyspan Front Row Remote, starting with NeoOffice 2.2.4 Patch 3 you can use the Apple Remote or the Keyspan Front Row remote controller to start, stop, and move through a slideshow in NeoOffice Impress.

When an Impress window is the active window in NeoOffice, pressing the Start/Pause (▶ ) button on your Front Row remote controller will start a slideshow.

When a slideshow is already running, the following actions are available:

• Pressing the Track Forward (▶▶ ) button will move forward a slide
• Pressing the Track Backward ( ◀◀) button will move back a slide
• Pressing the Start/Pause (▶ ) button will end the slideshow

NeoOffice will respond to remote control commands when it is the frontmost application, and when NeoOffice is no longer the frontmost application, other applications (e.g. iTunes) will respond to the remote control as usual.

[edit]Disabling NeoOffice's Remote Control Support

If, however, you do not want to use the the remote control with NeoOffice and want other applications (e.g. iTunes) to respond to the remote control even when NeoOffice is the frontmost application, open the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, then copy and paste the following line into the Terminal window to disable the remote control support in NeoOffice completely:

Telekinesis Mac Os X

If NeoOffice is running when you make this change, you will need to quit NeoOffice and restart for the change to take effect.

If you have previously used the above Terminal command to disable NeoOffice's remote control support and then need to use the remote control with NeoOffice, you can re-enable the support by opening the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, then copying and pasting the following line into the Terminal window:

If NeoOffice is running when you make this change, you will need to quit NeoOffice and restart for the change to take effect. (Note that if you have never disabled the remote control support in NeoOffice, you do not need to use this command.)

[edit]Third-party Solutions

If you do not have an Apple Remote or Keyspan Front Row Remote, or a supported Mac, you can use one of these other remote-control solutions that work with NeoOffice.

[edit]Compatible Devices

• Bluetooth phone when using Salling Clicker (see below)
• iPhone when using Telekinesis from Blacktree (see below; note this is not the Telekinesis from American Balloon)
• Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro ($79)
• Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer ($55.99)

  although the link doesn't mention it, according to what Kensington says, this presenter is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and above

N.B. The Kensington Pocket Presenter Wireless Laser previously recommended on this page doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.5.1 Leopard (it causes a kernel panic). The problem was resolved starting with Mac OS X 10.5.2.

[edit]Compatible Software

• Salling Clicker ($23.95)
• Remote Buddy ($12/€19.99)
• Blacktree Telekinesis (iPhone Remote) with Uniremote (free; requires configuration)

[edit]Configuration Tips

[edit] Salling Clicker

As mentioned in the forums, this works using the Front Row control, but it is possible to modify the centre button so that you can blank the screen. Note that this will affect Front Row as well, so creating a new menu is probably the way to go, but that hasn't been done yet.

1. On your Mac, open 'Salling Clicker' from the 'System Preferences'.
2. Under 'Clicker Items', expand 'System' and then select 'Edit Original in Script Editor' from the option menu.
3. Find the two entries for and change the keycode to 11 (11 maps to 'b', that is 'blank').
4. Exit the script editor and you should be set.

[edit] Telekinesis (iPhone Remote)

It is possible to use Blacktree Telekinesis (aka iPhone Remote) with Uniremote to allow your iPhone to function as a remote in Impress. Trinity user nqeron describes this process:

1. Install Telekinesis (aka iPhone Remote), made by Blacktree (not the one from American Balloon).
   • For information on configuring Telekinesis (aka iPhone Remote) to work with your iPhone generally and how to install Telekinesis applications, see the Telekinesis website.
2. Within Telekinesis, download Uniremote (or universalremote).
3. In order to get it to work with NeoOffice, it is necessary to edit some of the code. Within the Uniremote.tapp folder there is a smart folder and an addons folder; items in both of these folders will need modifications. Note: to get to the Uniremote.tapp folder, you must access Iphone Remotes' Apps folder, provided by its preferences pane. Also note, Uniremote.tapp is a package, not a folder, so be careful when editing it, as it may affect how the program runs.

1. 1. Within the smart folder, open the Universal Remote folder and then the scripts folder. The included AppleScripts control the buttons; because of a quirk in the way 'System Events' recognizes NeoOffice, each script will need to be modified.
      • Modify the beginning of each script (the tell application 'System Events' block of code) to look like this:

        tell application 'System Events' set frontApp to name of first application process where frontmost is true if frontApp = 'soffice.bin' then set frontApp to 'NeoOffice' end ifend tell

   2. Within the addons folder, you will need to add support to map buttons for NeoOffice.
      1. Create a new folder called NeoRemote.
      2. Copy the button scripts from step 1 and put them in the new NeoRemote folder.
      3. You will now need to change each script to send the appropriate command by replacing the existing script code. In general, the scripts will look like this, but the key code 12 line will change in each script:

         tell application 'System Events' key code 12end tell

         1. Menu should use key code 12 using command down
         2. Prev should use key code 123
         3. Next should use key code 124
         4. Play-Pause should use key code 96
         5. Plus should use key code 1
         6. Minus should use key code 13
         7. Screen should use

         This will set the Prev button to go back, the Next button to go forward, the Play-Pause button to start the presentation, the Menu button to exit, the Plus button to blank the screen, and the Minus button to unblank the screen. Other configurations are possible.

Note: This principle can be used to harness iphone control over almost any other program w/ standard keyboard control. The initial part in editing the Universal Remote's Script, is due to the fact that Mac recognizes NeoOffice as the soffice.bin process (and you can't properly name a folder soffice.bin, due to the extension). So to use this with Hulu Desktop, for example, one would just add a Hulu Desktop folder, or the equivalent process name, with the right scripts.

You can now use your iPhone to control presentations in NeoOffice Impress!

Note: This works through an internet connection, and may not be secure. Please read all the details and notes provided with the Telekinesis program.
