There wasn’t much of an indication that this was going to be a musical game but a lot of the puzzles revolve around listening to musical notes and then playing them in the correct order.
The puzzles bizarrely center around music. Puzzle completions are sometimes rewarded with impressive outcomes. They come quite fast and feel like a chain of puzzles, linking the story elements together. Solve one puzzle and then you’re on to the next. It is all designed so that movement is really not an issue. You won’t need to worry about moving across the screen too slowly or whether you can exit screen quickly. The most I moved to solve a puzzle was between three screens, and they are always short and painless to navigate. Puzzles are kept within a small area for you to concentrate on, which made the whole experience seem light and fast paced. There are no heavy inventory mechanics and hardly any backtracking through locales. The beauty of the game is in its simplicity.
GROWBOT REVIEWS FULL
Special effects noises are very good and the characters voices are full of character, even if you can’t understand them. The sound is beautiful and very atmospheric, matching the aesthetics perfectly, and creating an unusual vibe. Everything is colorful and imaginative and extremely original. 📺 Graphics 📺īeautiful hand drawn artwork with charismatic characters and gorgeous environments. The game took me between six and seven hours to complete with most of the achievements. Put the cogs in the right order remembering that cogs go inside the cogs too. It just about hits the right difficulty level, leaning slightly towards the easier side.Īnother puzzle that wasn’t explained very well. Some of them are very imaginative but none of them are too difficult, especially with the hint system. There are a variety of different puzzles like mazes, slider puzzles, number puzzles and putting different shaped wheels on cogs, for example. If it does get too difficult you can turn on the hint system and it will tell you which flowers you need to choose. This makes it a little more difficult to decipher the shield tune and find the corresponding flower notes.
There are three shields you need to build and they get more complicated, with some flowers having more than one note. Match up the shield song by placing the musical flower notes in the correct order on the grid. The flower arranger is a place where you can listen to your flowers.
A flower has its own note, so by collecting and placing flower notes into the grid in the correct order will replicate the sound of the shield and build it. The shield will have a song which you can listen to. To manufacture a shield, you need to find a shield and place it in the flower arranger. The shields are generated by power flowers, which give off musical notes when interacted with. The six space stations surrounding the asteroid of Kew make up a network of shields, and offer protection against enemies. Most conversations are basic and have slight branches but mostly everything is kept brief and to the point. Some of these can be branching, but mostly you’ll get a short answer to your question. You can start conversations with these, and your questions will be displayed for you to ask. On your mission to rebuild the space station and stop the infiltration you will encounter many different characters. Pressing the space bar highlights all interactable objects. There is a text bar at the bottom of the screen relaying any useful information about the object. Some will offer clues to puzzles ahead, some will offer light relief and funny moments, and others you can collect. Walking around the space station you can examine any interactable object, which can be highlighted using the space button if you so wish. Consumables on the right and Keepables on the left. Your inventory is always displayed on your HUD and is very simple. For example, a consumable might be a set of items to make up a potion whereas a keepable might be the power to destroy crystals. Some objects, called consumables, will come and go with puzzles, and others will become important powers which you can use, called keepables.
You can examine objects in your inventory which gives you basic feedback, but there is no turning or manipulating objects like in some games of the genre. You have an inventory, but it is rarely full, and when you are required to combine objects, it is always obvious and painless. Growbot is a simplistic version of a point and click adventure. It is up to you to uncover the mystery of the incursion and stop the perpetrator before the station, and possibly your homeland, is destroyed. Whilst on board, an attack on the station leaves the captain injured, the crew missing and inflicts substantial damages.
