Big Tall Small is a puzzle platformer centered around cooperation between three unique characters. Each one has a distinct size and ability, and players must switch between them to solve puzzles, navigate obstacles, and reach the end of each level.
The game’s core mechanic involves controlling three characters: Big, Tall, and Small. Each one has advantages and limitations:
Switching between characters is instantaneous and necessary for puzzle-solving. Most levels require a specific order of actions, such as using Big to move a block, Tall to reach a switch, and Small to sneak through a gate.
Each level introduces a new twist, often involving pressure switches, moving platforms, doors, or environmental hazards. Timing is crucial—especially when two or three characters need to be positioned perfectly to activate multiple devices at once.
Experimentation is key, and there’s rarely one correct solution. Players are rewarded for thinking creatively and using the trio’s strengths in non-obvious ways.
The puzzles in Big Tall Small start simple and intuitive, allowing players to learn each character’s role. However, as you move forward, the game introduces combinations of mechanics and more complex scenarios that require planning several steps ahead. Expect more moving parts, tighter jumps, and multi-character sequences as you advance.
Big Tall Small delivers clever puzzles without unnecessary complexity. With thoughtful design and smooth switching mechanics, it’s a great option for players who enjoy logical thinking and light platforming challenges.
