Play Overview
Grow Up (2016) is a running and jumping adventure and the sequel to 2015's Grow Home. It extends the real physics exploration that lets you push, pull, climb and direct how plants grow in the world.
You again are in control of a robot named B.U.D, who can climb on landscapes, pick up items and manipulate objects with the game's physics. Your task is to direct the stalks of Starplants towards energy sources to help them grow so that you can access new parts of the world and recover parts of your ship.
New to Grow Up, is the ability to scan plants and discover their properties - like enabling B.U.D to jump high or launch into the air. You access these abilities by planting a seed for the related plant. As you progress you can gain the ability to jetpack, glide, and roll.
It's the unusual way of getting around that stands out in Grow Up. You can grab onto things in the world by holding a button down for each of your hands. This, the tranquil music, and the way you can progress at your own pace, make it a unique and relaxing challenge.
