Tiny Pickle 0.3.1 Release

August 10, 2026

"Hunger is the best pickle." - Benjamin Franklin

After 4 long years, with the help of my son, Tiny Pickle 0.3.1 is released.

This update includes a new debug system designed by my son that lets us playtest the level a lot easier than trying to beat it (it's hard even for us):

Here is the no pitfall debug in action. You can see our tiny pickle does not fall in any holes. Likewise we can do this for spikes, enemies, and anything else we want to toggle while testing.

The first (only) level has had some major design improvements and is both more fun to play, and keeps speedrunners in mind.

The game also now features programatically drawn mountains and randomly generated clouds.

There are even more surprises I haven't meantioned. Play to find out what they are!
