Tiny & Big in Grandpa's Leftovers is a 2012 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, 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.
