Game is very fun but hard to play, kinda spooked me when they mutate so suddenly, art style makes it very good and I'm glad it's not realistic because then this would be like a horror game.

Nice atmosphere, perfectly matching the horror theme with a lot of grotesque and gory elements that adds even more charm to the game. I’ve sincerely enjoyed it.

I love this game. The pixel art is wonderful and the soundtrack makes for a great atmosphere. It's delightfully spooky. I love the story you built around the game. You did an awesome job!

Thank you so much! The music is by Karl Kasey from White Bat Audio, they are really good at spooky 80s atmosphere and most of the tracks are copyright free for projects, really recommend them, here is a LINK if you are interested.

another type of game I love :). But I can say it was bitwise hard to do. Cause as one place we are above 5-7 peoples so we can't shoot them. If we go down they instantly kill us that's why. Anyway Loving game 😘

Thank you! And yes, the game gets very hard if you aren't really fast. In the next patch it will be easier to shoot enemies on lower levels.
But great that you still liked it!

Hello there, welcome to my nightmares. Keep preying on my imagination with your tense soundtrack and dimly- lit metamorphoses.

David Puato has proven to me with his track record for producing creative, short and well optimised games in the past.

THEY GROW is the run and gun sci-fi horror CHERRY ON TOP.

A challenging and fun game that makes YOU as the player learn the controls and master them.
encouraging you to be quick with the trigger to avoid the monsters further mutating.

fantastic music that really pulls you into the world!

I loved my time with this game.

Like puato's other games he leaves me wanting more!
