What Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is an adventure game developed by Black Pants Game Studio and released in 2012. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Set in land where common physics apply, but everything else looks different. You are Tiny, a technophile guy with a ray cutter, a gripping-device and a fine attitude towards the world. But now your nemesis Big again stole the only heritage your grandpa left you: A nice pair of white, fine rib underpants! And he‘s surely up to no good, why else would he take them to that forsaken desert… Where noone goes! So load up that selfmade raygun and rope device (snitched from the local hardware store) and take your annoying and jabbering backpack to accompany you. It‘s always been good use to your gramps. Besides, the robot taxi to the desert is waiting! Run, jump, drag, shove and laser your way…
