[h2]Great reviews are in[/h2]
Growbot has received some really lovely reviews so far! Please check them out below :)

  • "Growbot is an incredible game that deserves to be experienced by everyone, regardless of age or gender. It’s such a unique and heart-warming experience, one that must be lived rather than described with words. Let this masterpiece transport you in a “children’s book”-like world, full of emotion, color and make you forget about the daily problems for a few hours." 100/100 - lillycorner.com

  • "Growbot is, directly, an interactive work of art that we are going to thank very much for having played. Although he did not invent the wheel at any time, the union of all its elements form an incredible game, very careful and that transmits sensations in every minute of play. From here we can only recommend its purchase without fear, as it is one of those works that remain in the memory over the years." 90/100 - hgunified.com

  • "Growbot is a game which is soothing for the soul. It doesn't make you feel upset, it doesn't stress you out, it just lets you loose in its dream world, and by the time you wake up, the credits are already rolling." 89/100 - pcguru.hu, Hungary

  • "Growbot one of the most curious, carefully crafted and full of emotion experiences that I have been able to experience in the last few months. And I urge anyone who wants to enjoy something precious, particular and emotional, not to pass it by and come to this curious and magical world of robots, plants, and very special beings." 85/100 - generacionpixel.com, Spain

  • "If you like art, a feel-good narrative with a decent selection of puzzles, this cute point and click is an interstellar trip you should take." 82/100 - vulgarknight.com, UK

  • "In Growbot we experience a hand-drawn adventure with a story that is easy to digest and great visual and auditory elements that are bursting with indie charm. The gameplay is mainly based on solving various puzzles. Overall, the title's playing time could definitely be longer, but fans of puzzle gameplay will nonetheless have a good time with Growbot." 82/100 - gamecontrast.de, Germany

  • "Growbot is a candy that you savour with pleasure. You can feel the love behind every scene, every character and every musical note, the same love that is inevitably transferred to the player. Wabisabi Play's work feels like a fish in water among its drawings and colours, which fill the screen with an incomparable sense of peace. I wish I could move in with the Nara and the Growbots." 80/100 - uvejuegos.com, Spain

  • "Growbot is slow but never boring, beautiful but never shallow and rich in sound but never obtrusively scored. Lisa Evans has managed to turn her vision into a point-and-click that doesn't need to hide from its inspirations." 80/100 - indieplanet.de, Germany

We hope you enjoy the game, and we are super grateful for your feedback and comments. Thank you for your support and patience.



If you’re new to Growbot, here’s a small overview:

  • "The world of illustrator Lisa Evans is brought to life in this colourful and detailed adventure game. Its gameplay relies on narrative and puzzles rather than taking the conventional adventure game route, and while it doesn't do anything that hasn't been seen before, it does what it does very well." 80/100 - 33bits.net, Spain




  • "To conclude, Growbot may be a short and simple game. But the idea of the shield creator is quite unique. It breaks the routine of the simple Point & Click as you can see everywhere. Moreover, the story is quite cute, and you feel a lot of love in this game. " 8/10 - coupleofgamer.com, France

  • "All in all, 'Growbot' is a very nice game, a bit in the style of 'Machinarium' (which was one of the inspirations of the creators). Maybe a bit too short, maybe the ending is a bit disappointing, but it has a lot of interesting puzzles and is very well made. I recommend it to every fan of the genre." 8/10 - przygodomania.pl, Poland

  • "Growbot is an old-fashioned point-and-click puzzle game that will keep fans of the genre glued to the screen and certainly bring new ones to this timeless genre, thanks to the in-game help that will prevent it from becoming frustrating.

    The variety of the puzzles proposed, mixed with the musical ones, in addition to the characters and a fairy tale story, will succeed in immersing the player in this timeless adventure.

    Definitely a title recommended for fans of the genre and in general for anyone who wants to enjoy a good adventure and squeeze their brains a bit."
