Growbot has launched! :D
Hi all! We're very excited to finally share our wistful adventure, Growbot with you! <3
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:
- A point and click puzzle adventure game.
- Drawn by hand, inspired by the puzzlers of old.
- Beautiful original soundtrack by Jessica Fichot.
- Full of fantastical creatures and strange environments to explore.
In Growbot, you will play as Nara on her first day as a Growbot in training to become a Captain. Things go awry across the station and you will need to use your wits, and brain(apilla) to solve the puzzles and repair the station.
Over the years a lot of people have poured their time and care into making Growbot, and we are grateful to everyone who has helped. With special thanks to our publisher Application Systems Heidelberg for publishing the game, and working with us on development; to Acorn Games for helping with social media; and to Jessica Fichot, for the wonderful music she created for the game.
Thanks very much for following our journey, and for playing Growbot! If you have not played the game yet, please give it a try! :) We've had some great press reviews in already (please see below).

- "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 - "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 - "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."

- "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."
