How it feels

A gentle, meditative hex-grid puzzle where you explore and populate a procedurally generated world with animals, rewarding calm problem-solving rather than tension or speed.

What players say

Players are split on Growth: some find it a relaxing, addictive puzzle game with a light strategic layer, while many others call it repetitive, heavily RNG-dependent, and frustratingly difficult early on, with a handful of unsolvable levels.
