big tall small [browser]
Big Tall Small is the latest puzzle platformer by Robert Alvarez. Switch between three characters with different sizes and traits to complete the puzzles and make them reach the exit in each level.
Not too difficult, some nice puzzle elements, I think they could have upped the difficulty level, but the difference between the characters comes across nicely in the movements and feel.
That was really fun! The addition of new puzzle mechanics kept the game fresh. It was cheering to see the little box guys help each other out to get the group through each level without leaving anyone behind!
I like the concept - reminds me a bit of The Lost Vikings - but I found the controls hard to manipulate. The characters kept overshooting whatever mark I needed them to hit. Ultimately, I gave up on the second level because jumps that should have been simple were not working after 20+ tries. I think it needed a little polishing before it was released.

ReplyDeleteGood one for lunchtime.
Funny and easy...
ReplyDeleteRobert Alvarez also recent released Shoot to Slide, which I found on armorgames.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it. Not TOO much of the fiddling "perfect jump required" stuff that always gets me. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent!

ReplyDeleteI was thinking "Shaun the Sheep", but "The Lost Vikings" might be closer.
ReplyDeleteExactly the kind of games I like: Simple, quick, good idea - "less is more". ;)
ReplyDeleteMan, this is like the third or fourth game of his where Level 18 kept me stalled. Once I got past that, the rest seemed easy peasy.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a month now, where is Bart ?
ReplyDeleteI hope he is alright.
I'm fine :)
ReplyDeleteIt's just a very quiet period for new and interesting games.
That was fun. Sad when it was over tho
