I'm sorry little cactus :( I'm sorry I have to give your game a negative review :(

No, seriously. Everything about this game is incredibly sweet. The look, the music, the concept, the cactus. The only thing that I didn't like is... the puzzle design. And considering that this is a puzzle game, that kind of ruins the rest.

My basic complaint is that the game is too difficult. The puzzles get very tough very fast; and even though I ended up beating the game, I solved many puzzles almost by accident. There was no satisfaction here. In Baba is You the late game puzzles were harder, but they were still satisfying - and even the optional levels of Patrick's Parabox weren't as hard as this.

Also, I found the general mechanic of growing and pushing things around somewhat flat. Because you're only allowed to move on a specific grid, your moves are severely limited and I found this frustrating rather than fun. I get it, that's where the challenge comes from, but my brain somehow refused to accept this limitation.

In other words - Room to Grow is an incredibly cute game that I simply found not very fun to play. The "thing" that makes puzzle games fun... to me, it's missing here. Still, it's certainly a well-crafted game, one that someone who'd have less trouble with its puzzles could very well enjoy.

And hey, I got the lil cactus to its growing place in the desert, so at least that's something to be happy about.

The Game itself is Great (10/10) but even with all of Greatness still doesn't worth 10 Dollars .


Note : I bought the game on discount but this review is an advice for others . Wait for a discount

I just didn't find it inherently fun like some other games like Baba is You.
