Our take on The Growth Journey

The defining constraint is that growth cannot be reversed: each increase changes which size-gated passages can be crossed, while collisions are fatal.

What is The Growth Journey?

The Growth Journey is a game about permanent size changes.

Blue zones allow a set number of growths, with the count shown in each zone and each growth changing size by a specified percentage. Green gates display the size required to pass through them. Growth cannot be undone, so gaining size can open some routes while restricting others. Colliding with an object means death, making movement around obstacles part of the challenge. Progress depends on choosing when to grow and navigating the available space at the resulting size.

How The Growth Journey plays

Each size increase remains in effect, shaping which later passages are accessible.
02Marked growth zones
Blue areas show how many growths they allow and the percentage change for each.
03Size-gated passages
Green barriers display the size needed to pass through.
04Fatal collisions
Making contact with an object results in death.
