Description

In Grow Home you play as BUD (Botanical Utility Droid), a robot on a mission to save his home planet by harvesting the seeds of a giant alien plant. On his quest BUD will discover a beautiful world of floating islands that are home to some rather strange plants and animals.
Grow the giant plant and use your unique climbing abilities to reach ever higher ground, but be careful…one wrong move and it’s a long way down!

Key Features

Climbing: Procedural animation allows you to move BUD's hands independently, creating a unique and unrestricted climbing experience.

Growing: Guide and ride the giant alien plant as you create your own pathways in the sky. Everything you grow can be climbed on. Use it as a bridge, a safety net, or simply as a tool for artistic expression.

Exploration: Explore every nook and cranny of the alien world as you hunt and collect crystals that can enhance BUD's abilities. It’s a physical playground and many of the alien plants have unusual properties that can help you on your quest.

Grow Home is a surprisingly charming little game that had me genuinely smiling as I guided BUD up his ever-growing star plant, one awkward hand-over-hand grip at a time. The physics-based climbing takes some getting

I hope to have half as much charm as this game. Definitely worth picking up for $1 on sale. Took 7 hrs to 100%. 90% of the achievements are fun to get. Only a couple are tedious but are definitely not a grind. Whoever

Rating: 7/10 -Decent Grow Home is a simple platformer with simple graphics and gameplay. You play as a robot called BUD. His job is to locate star plants and to make them grow to harvest their seeds to bring them back

I got the platinum for this on PS3 or something and it was a fond enough memory to come back and get it here. I deleted a previous save/attempt before this review and playing the save that got me all the achievements.

A game I have a weird history with. I remember there was a contest back in the day on the PS4 that asked what the free game of the month would be. It was between this game, Armello, and another game. I chose Armello and
