PC (& Mac) - Colibri Games

After an asteroid hits 'Tiny Planet' you must help put it back together by finding hidden objects and completing puzzles.

As a point and click puzzle game the controls are cursor movement and left click (no keyboard use is required except 'esc' to bring up the menu). Objects can be very small, so accurate control of the mouse cursor is neccessary as are timed button presses. Whilst the majority of the gameplay can be carried out at your own pace, some tasks will require quick reactions.

Some puzzles also require repeated use of dragging to complete them i.e. holding the left mouse button down whilst moving the cursor.
There is no audible or written dialogue or instructions throughout the game, with instructions given cleverly via images and diagrams.

If you are struggling with completing a puzzle the hint icon in the top right will help guide you with a diagram as to how to complete it. Whilst searching for items the hint icon can also be used by clicking on the dragonflies which buzz about the screen. Collecting each one will help to fill up the hint meter.

The Tiny Bang Story's beautiful hand-drawn visuals and restful audio and music, make Tiny Planet a lovely place to explore, solve puzzles and find hidden items.
