Grow Up

I bought this game a long time ago because i saw it on a video of unique short games but never got around to playing it. It's definitely a very unique game, essentially it's a somewhat physics based game which actual planet physics on a small planet, where you control each hand individually(mainly used for traversal and pulling switches, not much point otherwise lol), and you collect different types of plants which can be used to boost or float you higher, The main goal of the game is to collect all the ship parts so you can go home, but there's a few other collectables around the planet, some unlock new appearances and others make it easier to traverse. As it's a short game i won't go into too much detail, however, i do want to highlight one really cool feature. Across the planet there are 4 different "star plants", very large vines which you can grab onto and fly onto energy sources to make them grow bigger. Which is really cool, it feels fun flying these tendrils out to other islands! I like how as you collect more crystals and gear, the world feels much easier to explore, you go from having to find a islands to hop on to climb higher or using star plants to bring yourself higher to being able to rocket around with your hangglider infinitely lol One somewhat major complaint i had was that the controls can be very janky. For example, you might rocket on your hangglider and it'll inexplicably shoot straight down instead of forward, and sometimes the jetpack whips around weirdly. Another minor complaint is i kinda wish there was more to do,, i feel like a game like this could've been stretched over multiple planets but it can be beaten under 2 hours if you rush it. However i somehow managed to get 11 hours in and i didn't even do any of the challenges lol Would still recommend it, it's a very cute game!
