Tinykin looks like Pikmin inside a giant houseIt’s coming out next year

It’s coming out next year

Very small astronaut Milo runs around a very large lab with his tiny alien pals.

I get a childlike sense of glee from playing games that let me run around as a miniature human in a world that’s far too big for them. Add a dash of Pikmin to that, and you’ve really caught my interest. The newly announced puzzle platformerTinykinseems to provide exactly that: it’s about a very small astronaut exploring a giant house with the help from lots of little one-eyed alien pals.

“It’s the year 2748 and Milo has re-discovered Earth,” it says in a press release. “He’d go down in history for this achievement, but when he lands on the planet he encounters a problem… He’s as small as a penny. And everybody’s gone. And it’s the ’90s.”

The trailer shows Milo using launching his extraterrestrial followers (the tinykin) at things to move or break them, as well as stacking up the little beasts to use as a ladder. Different tinykin have different powers too, though Milo has his own share of abilities. He can grind on rails, float using a bubble on his head and more. It looks really lovely, plus you can visit some ants playing teeny tiny guitars inside of a normal sized guitar. Excellent stuff.

Tinykin is set to release sometime next yearon Steam. Check outthe game’s websitefor more.
