What is Grow Home?

In this single-player, third-person 3D platformer, you explore floating islands as a robot seeking alien plant seeds to save its home planet. You climb by gripping with each hand, guide the plant's shoots to make paths upward, and collect crystals to improve your abilities.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy exploring freely and collecting hidden upgrades
  • +you like short, relaxed games with a simple goal
  • +you enjoy physics-driven movement that takes practice

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast, precise platforming without manual grips
  • −you expect a long game with varied objectives
