Misc. A Tiny Tale

Released: 7/22/2025

Meet Buddy and Bag Boy - two tiny robots with big hearts and an even bigger mission: spreading joy wherever they go! After a mysterious explosion rains golden cogs and trash from the sky, the duo must work together to restore each village and uncover the secret behind the blast. Scrub messes, collect trash, and lend a helping hand by cleaning up. Every difference you make earns you points. Got trash? Recycle it at any RECYC0TRON for extra cash to spend in stores during your adventure. Being this tiny has its perks too! Squeeze through tight nooks and explore a playground built from everyday objects. Dash across rulers, leap over cups, and crouch under old milk cartons. This unique perspective lets you experience the world in a whole new way. Beneath the surface lies a touching tale that deepens as you meet new bots. From UFOs and secret lovers to unlikely heroes and dancing instruments, you’ll discover a world full of quirky characters with stories worth hearing. Adventure through backyards, playgrounds, and forgotten lands in a mysterious post-human world. Clean, repair, and make a meaningful difference as you tidy each village. Interact with unique robots made from everyday items, helping them with their struggles. Find golden cogs, coins, and hidden treasures tucked away in every nook and cranny. Experience a heartfelt narrative that mixes humor with real emotion. Being small never felt so BIG
