Our take on Growth
The defining structure is a procedurally generated hex map where animal abilities determine how wildlife clusters connect around obstacles.
What is Growth?
Growth is a cozy strategy puzzle played on procedurally generated hexagonal maps.
Players explore expanding landscapes by connecting clusters of wildlife and claiming points of interest, which can provide more animals and occasional special rewards. Each of the 8 animals has a distinct ability that supports navigation around obstacles such as mountains and rivers. The campaign uses randomly generated maps, while 9 tile types shape landscapes that can develop into forests, meadows, and other terrain. Progress involves populating fertile soil and transforming barren areas as new animal types expand the available ways to explore. The game focuses on relaxed tile-by-tile discovery, with maps and rewards supporting repeated sessions.
