The path to true wholesomeness is laid with…environmental tiles? Today, Assemble Entertainment and developer VoodooDuck are delighted to announce Growth, a relaxing strategy puzzler revealed as part of Guerilla Collective. Coming to PC and Nintendo Switch later this summer, Growth invites you to explore and populate randomly generated maps by strategically utilizing the unique abilities of wildlife in the form of tiles on a hexagonal playfield, then watch the environment come to life. Play the demo during Steam NextFest starting on June 19th.
Growth blends the beauty of cozy exploration with challenging navigation around obstacles. Populate fertile soil while respecting natural boundaries like rivers and mountains, all while transforming barren landscapes into lush forests, meadows, and more.
