This was such a cute and amazing game, never really got the recognition it deserved. I remember looking up and thinking "how in the world am I going to get up there?" and then the feeling of accomplishment when I made it.

I remember casually watching youtubers play this with my son, then he got it on steam. He plays casually and doesnt make much progress at any game in leaps and bounds. When i got on the game i 100%ed it. Very fun game. Once you are fully upgraded you are very free to move around, getting there is rewarding. I would love to have a drm-free copy from GOG.

Description

 

In Grow Home you play as BUD (Botanical Utility Droid), a robot on a mission to save his home planet by harvesting the seeds of a giant alien plant. On his quest BUD will discover a beautiful world of floating islands that are home to some rather strange plants and animals. 
Grow the giant plant and use your unique climbing abilities to reach ever higher ground, but be careful…one wrong move and it’s a long way down! 

Key Features 

Climbing: Procedural animation allows you to move BUD's hands independently, creating a unique and unrestricted climbing experience. 

Growing: Guide and ride the giant alien plant as you create your own pathways in the sky. Everything you grow can be climbed on. Use it as a bridge, a safety net, or simply as a tool for artistic expression. 

Exploration: Explore every nook and cranny of the alien world as you hunt and collect crystals that can enhance BUD's abilities. It’s a physical playground and many of the alien plants have unusual properties that can help you on your quest.

Grow Home's charming personality, feel-good physics, and satisfying controls make for a beautiful climbing adventure.

Free from the claustrophobic Fordism that increasingly robs series like Assassin's Creed of their sense of wonder, this is a game that's taken shape at its own pace, and that has been allowed to find its own voice. Pick a point to aim for and jump. Jump!

Phallic imagery and sore wrists don't stop this from being uniquely charming. Definitely worth a few quid and a few hours of your time.

(Steam Deck✓) Good comfy game, spoilers

It's like Mario 64 had a baby with Peak, though I've never watched any gameplay of Peak so take that with a grain of salt. Good game. Nice open world while trying to find crystals. Short game, nice price. For what it is it's great.
