Game Description
Grow Home, also known as Grow Up’s predecessor, is a quirky exploration and climbing game where you control BUD, a small robot tasked with saving his home planet. The game’s all about climbing, grabbing, and swinging your way through floating islands to collect unique plants. It’s simple in concept but offers a surprisingly fresh take on movement mechanics. Ever tried climbing a giant, rapidly growing star plant? Now’s your chance.
What’s Grow Home About?
You play as BUD, a curious robot exploring colorful floating islands. Your goal? Find and harvest plant life to bring back and help your planet thrive. Sounds straightforward, right? But the climbing – that’s the twist. You control each of BUD’s arms separately. It’s a bit tricky at first, so expect some hilarious falls and misgrabs. Lesson learned: always keep your grip tight.
Key Features

Gameplay and Style
Controls can take a moment to master but feel smooth once you get the hang of them. Whether you prefer keyboard and mouse or a controller, the experience is pretty intuitive. The game is more about experimentation than racing against the clock. Curious what happens if you miss a grab? You’ll find out, and yes, BUD’s clumsiness can be downright funny at times.
Why Play Grow Home?
