What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was June 2014. It has been discounted 116 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $3.36. The record reaches that level 105 times.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Suicide Guy ($5.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats AtmaSphere ($3.99, scores 57).
Critics scored it 75. Players sit 17 points higher at 92 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data puts 21 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Of the 334 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 598 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 2.6 hours; clearing it takes 12, which is 4.5 times the campaign.

What players say
Its a short but really fun little gem, you can probably finish it within 2 hours if you avoid the side things, but even then its a short but sweet time.
Really cool and ambitious comedic game. Everything is built around your gadgets and physics. On each level, you have a specific goal that you need to achieve, and you can reach it in pretty much any way you can think of. You have complete freedom. Of course, it is not Minecraft, and you are still limited by what your gadgets can do, as well as by the physical objects available in the environment. But you have a huge...
Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is a clever physics-based puzzle platformer developed and published by Black Pants Game Studio that stands out by making environmental manipulation the heart of its gameplay. Rather than emphasizing combat or precision platforming, the game invites players to carve, move, and reshape the landscape itself in order to overcome obstacles. Its unusual mechanics, comic-inspired...

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers scores 64/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/205910/tiny-and-big-grandpa-s-leftoversThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 17, price as of Sep 24.
