![]() Unfortunately, this puzzle formula does wear on you after some time. Personally, as someone who falls into a rather tone-deaf category, I found it far more frustrating trying to complete these sections without the extra hints. Thankfully, they included some accessibility features to make this easier for anyone struggling with musical notes or hearing difficulties. After a while, the puzzles were beginning to lose their novelty.Įssentially, you would have to solve one or two little puzzles, either by finding something or by completing a maze, then you would pick the sounds a flower makes and put them into a specific tune. It feels like a children’s story as opposed to a game. I can tell when I’m not the target audience: Growbot, with its simple controls, is for a younger audience than myself. Upon playing it again, the foreshadowing would become clearer, and it felt a lot more obvious as you clicked the items again. From about halfway through the game, I became bored each time I would go through the puzzles and find out more about the story. The more you play the game, the more predictable it is. Reports from captain meetings reveal that things aren’t great behind the scenes. The audio also made me think for sure that there would be a lot higher stakes with Crissy, who seemed like she would be some sort of monster, but alas, she was not.Īs you travel the first few areas, you find nefarious motives for the station to be attacked. This is a low stakes game, and so the haunted tones didn’t match the actual relaxed gameplay. ![]() I have to say, in the beginning, the music established the atmosphere as a rather haunted one, with static effects and added use of piano notes, but I felt this was rather misleading. Nara and the other Growbots resemble big-headed robot babies, and Starbelly and the other creatures look like they’d have plushies made for them. My first impressions of the game are pretty standard: it’s cute. The only beings you have to help you are the fantastical and charming creatures who live on the station. With no one left to communicate with, you’re on your own as you look for your superiors: Captain Art and Captain Kino. As far as first days go, this one wasn’t great. You play as a young Growbot, named Nara, who’s beginning her captaincy training aboard the Ventral Station when it’s suddenly attacked by a mysterious figure known as Crissy. Growbot is a point-and-click adventure game where you have to solve puzzles to progress to the next stage. ![]() Reviews // 29th Mar 2022 - 1 year ago // By Bex Prouse Growbot Review ![]()
