after i got hooked on Tiny&Big for over an hour at the exhibition opening of A MAZE. Indie Connect i *NEEDED* this great game ASAP, so i just downloaded it.

But when I start it (MacBook Pro 4,1 early 2008 running MacOS 10.5.8) with fullscreen ON my screen looks glitchy, then black, the fans start running on high speed and the computer freezes completely. No way out besides doing a hard reset.

With fulscreen OFF it loads, then i just see noisy glitches and the computer gets slower and hotter and eventually freezes also...

evil!

Any explanations? Hints?

Wenn ihr eine Lösung habt wäre das super sonst warte ich.
Das Spiel sieht sehr interressant aus und wirkt innovativ, auch wenn mich das Schneiden der Steine an Spiele auf den SmartPhones erinnert.
Ein Kompliment an den Art Designer, aber mit CelShading sieht eigentlich alles toll aus, und tolle Idee den Comicstil konsequent durchzusetzen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Ich bin durch den GameOne-Beitrag auf euch bzw. euer kleines, feines Spiel aufmerksam geworden.

Das Design und das Spielprinzip klangen sehr vielversprechend, und (um die Spannung gleich vorwegzunehmen) ihr habt es super umgesetzt!

Man merkt zwar, dass sowohl eure Geldbörse wie auch euer Team begrenzt ist, im Spiel stört dies aber gänzlich wenig bzw. man vermisst es nicht! Ich hab mich am frischen Spielprinzip erfreut wie auch an der Liebe die im ganzen Spiel steckt und die kleinen Mängel überdeckt. (Allein die Idee mit den Indie-Bands find ich sowohl simpel als auch genial)

Großes Lob auch an den Designer (Sebastian Stamm?). Das ganze Spiel, aber vor allem die Charaktere sehen wunderbar aus.

Werdet ihr eigentlich noch Sprachausgabe hinzufügen?

Ich warte gespannt auf die Finale Version und hoffe dass ihr damit Erfolg haben werdet (und ihr es vil auch noch auf der PS3 & XBox360 veröffentlichen könnt) und wünsche euch viel Spaß und Glück in der Zukunft.

MfG, Lautsprecher.

Ich liebe euer Spiel jetzt schon es ist ein meilenstein in sachen Spielmechanik ... ihr macht mit einfachen dingen ein echt sehr gutes spiel und dafür solte man euch loben wo man nur kann ...

ich würd sagen es wird ähnlich beliebt werden wie Minecraft ...

Hoffe es lauft weiter gut für euch und freu mich echt tierisch

Lg Jack ....

When you climb up the Hill you can shoot a rocket on Big, i dont know if this is intended

Wenn man den Hügel erklimmt kann man Big mit ner Rakete abschießen, es passiert zwar nichts, wenn man sie zündet.
Aber für gewöhnlich kann man in Adventure games die Gegner nur zu gewünschten Zeitpunkten als Ziel erfassen.

Weiter so!

today i had some time and found in my game folder relase 0.1 :-) now i downloaded 0.6 and found that it is not possible to change the resolution.
its important because i wan't to play it in non fullscreen mode to use it in my dual screen workstation.
when i change the resolution in options.txt the game ignores it and revert the changes.
i hope that somebody could help

Really enjoyed the concept, I hope that in future installations there are more opportunities for finding alternate solutions to complete a level. I can imagine players uploading their videos to youtube of 'solving' a level with unusual and unique solutions.

I'm sure you've got enough of your own ideas, but hey, thought I'd throw it out there:
I don't particularly need 'enemies', but if there were little harmless animals scurrying around that could be 'crushed' by the falling blocks, that could be a lot of fun. I know they're just more things to animate and they'd take up memory, but it would really add to the sandbox environment (especially if you could grapple/launch them).

It was very frustrating. the bit with the rocks falling on the bridge took me at least 20 tries, as it seemed like just luck where the rocks went. also with the bit where you had to cut all the columns and jump across (second to last save point) I kept trying to not cut the bridge bit in the middle and walk across it. eventually I managed to do it and got past but again it took me at least 20 tries. afterwards I realised you could just cut it all. I didn't have so much trouble with the other obstacles but I still felt like "was that the way I was supposed to do it?" as I just cut randomly and fiddled with it untill it worked. so personally i just didn't find those bits fun, but i did enjoy cutting stuff, so i'd appreciate it if the final game had a lot more oppertunities to wreck everything.

also I didn't like the way tiny jumps. it feels very limiting and clunky, and adds to the frustration. It's much more satisfying to have a character that is easy to control overcoming difficult jumps, than a character that is difficult to control overcoming easy jumps. So i think i'd prefer it if tiny jumped higher and fell slower, i'm not sure what it would be like though.

Also I had massive frame rate drops but only when i looked at the mountain, just to let you know.

Also, the only bug (sort of) I found was the fact that troll science worked. You could lift yourself into the sky!

So I wanted to try the game by downloading the demo (linux 32 bits). I launched the game in a terminal and it bug.
Here is the log :

It say "Instruction non permise"Command not allowed"
So I tried to run the game as root, but it made the same error.

Thanks

Firstly, walking off cliffs is not fun when you're using the pull rope. Since you can't really look behind you when you're pulling things, would it be possible to stop your chap when he's about to fall off something? Alternatively, add some kind of winch to the pull rope- right click to latch on, left click to pull it towards you. Another alternative would be to make it so you have to deliberately jump over any edge that borders a chasm- you could still fall off, but you'd have to want to do it. Could be a little hard to implement though.

Secondly, the laser controls are a bit confusing. I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to be moving the mouse to get the cut I'm after. I *really* like that you get to stop and think about it, and even cancel it if you don't think that it's right, and that cancelling it doesn't mean clicking a big red 'X'. That's good, keep that. But at the same time fine tuning the cut seems something of a black art- I'm just wiggling my mouse around and never really understanding how that's impacting things.

Anyway, that's just what I think. Keep up the good work guys.
