Growth (2023)

Send animal friends out to roll back the fog and uncover more of the map. Welcome new friends and repeat! Growth starts as a calm, low-stakes puzzler, then rewards clever strategy the further you go.

Meh, not really sure what is going on, rather simplistic but mildly interesting. I got it 90% off the full price, and that's about right. Even at ninety nine cents it might have been a tiny bit pricey. Still, doesn't seem to be anything wrong with one, one very tentative thumb up. ADDENDUM: Played a bit more. A few hours even. It's fun, interesting learning curve. A bit buggy, doesn't always give the correct biome info, music got stuck one for about a minute. Could certainly use some more quality of life features, like an index of the specials and the units, and a marker showing which hex you are currently in, as the percentage total you need is inexplicably not of the entire map but just the hex you are in. I would change that if I were the developer. Still a modest one thumbs up. Does get a bit repetitive.

I loved the idea but unfortunately the execution does not live up to it. The game is repetitive, unsolvable levels can be generated, and the resolution of the individual landscape models is low. Overal visual design is pretty, the UI is clear, but unfortunately also not accessible for people with colour-blindless.

The first 1 hour is fun and relaxing, but it becomes extremly repetitive after that point.

This is a cool strategy game. It's challenging but not frustrating.

Very relaxing and low stakes. Send your animals out to clear the fog of the map, get more animals to clear more fog, save the world! Also, save your specials for later in the game when they matter most.
