Grow Idle Land (Update Nr.3)
Grow your Island! A small idle incremental game with a simple character!
You can wishlist it on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3952030/Grow_Idle_Land/
New Updates:
- Focusing on Game Feel and Progression (UI Updates, visual upgrades etc.)
- Testing First Person Camera Switch (Press Q) - has no actual gameplay to it yet, but might be an interesting feature. You might need to go Full Screen because of the mouse capturing.
Attention!
- If the web version doesn't open as browser pop-up, you might need to zoom in/out in your browser or go Fullscreen (bottom right)
- minor visual bugs in the web version (for example walking straight up/down)
- might encounter smaller lags when loading for the first time
- Better graphics and experience with the download version
It's a small game, made in about 1-2 weeks.
The numbers are not crazy high, so you will be finished in around 5mins. The Goal is to grow your island until you can reach the treasure!
Hope you like it ^^

Really fun and cute little game. I would give the option to hide max upgrades though. I didn't realize at first that you could use the Workers on the farm which led to me doing the first 2 expansions of food entirely myself. If the maxxed upgrade was hidden I would've noticed that there's more you can do with the farm than the first 2 upgrades. Although my being dumb also played a large part in that
Thank you for playing! I didn't think about that! Great suggestion! Yes I will add that and maybe also widen a little the UI, so you can see it better and realize there are more options now! I think end of the week I will have it updated with some new content ^^
when you get to the point where theres an upper platform with a blue slime if you try to walk up the little ramp to him at an angle you get stuck and softlocke.
Found a fix by going into first person.
Yes it's strange. Once I was stuck as well, but I couldn't reproduce it. But I will fix it. I also added the "teleport" button just for those cases, so you could reset your spot :D but greatly appreciate your feedback! I'm working on the next Patch already, should be coming end of the week!
perfect game so far, and thanks for being a dev that actually responds to feedback and problem
Glady ^^ It's really a pleasure to see people playing your game and taking the time to give constructive feedback :)
It took me a good minute to realise that to actually get anything at the start, you need to stand next to the cube with the heart and hold E. Maybe a little note somewhere to make this more obvious (or maybe I am particularly stupid :))
First - Thanks for playing! I actually even included a little text on the right ^^ With the next patches I will make it even a little bit clearer and add a super small mini tutorial :)
good game
Thank you! I try to update this game in the end of the week!
fun little game, i wanted to keep adding workers to the heart area, but nothing allowed me to do that might be good to add a way to make that possible? I like where its going tho!
In this little version I kept the amount of workers at 20, but I will try to update the game in the end of week and you will definitely be able to add more workers! :D
Looks like an interesting prototype. I'm curious where you'll end up taking this once it gets farther along. I was hoping to see some of the other areas, but I guess those aren't ready yet.
Just an idea - since workers seem like a finite resource, it might be good to be able to move them off of one resource and to another. I ended up with 15 on wood and only 5 on the heart, so it took longer than it probably should have to expand the world. It's your game, though, so have fun with it!
Thanks for your feedback! Yes I also thought about it or some way to reset them, but only for the prototype I limited it to 20 workers. I will work on it and patch it here on a regular basis and I will fix that PLUS new content and areas with actual stuff to do :D
A small idle incremental game with a simple character....and an excruciating CPU-Usage. Which coin are you mining? ;)
Is it that taxing? Hope the web version is at least not as taxing. When I check my CPU it seems fine. Only RAM is a little bit high, but that is also with my other game... hmm... need to look into optimization :D
Well it WAS the web version, but i started the game just right now and this time the cpu usage is quite fine. So if you didn´t update the game already, maybe it was just a coincidence and not your fault at all :)
Definitely strange since I didn't change anything yet :D Maybe I will find some answers one day in the documentation and why these things could happen :D Or it was just pure bad luck haha
changing my pcs volume moves the character
and i dont see any probems with the web version in shows me the whole thing no zoom in required
that is strange :D Funny how many small issues and bugs can arise.
And yes it should be fixed. I messed up some settings in the resolutions :D
that wasnt like a bad thing htat needs to be fixed it was just a fun little thing i noticed while turning off the audio since im a muslim
muslims cant listen to music
and i couldnt find a music volume slider thing so i just muted the game
also tf do i do
i grew my thing twice and got max charachter and a bunch of wooders and now i have like 50k wood and idk what to do
I update the description so the "Goal" is more clear. The game is at the moment just a little fun prototype of mine with no real goal and after you unlocked the key and grow your island the third time, you basically reached all areas, even though there is nothing to do there yet :D
Downloaded version won't load, web page version only shows the lower left portion of the screen. I guess maybe I'll check back after the initial bug fixes.
you need to zoom in in the browser version to see everything. but yes its a bug
Sorry! I'll fix both issues as soon as I can. When it's fixed, I post another comment, so you'll get notified!
The browser issue should be fixed by now! The download version not sure what the problem is. I tried to download it and it starts normally, but surely I will find the reason sooner or later :D
perhaps its a client side issue?
its zoomed in so I cant tell what to do.
oh no sorry! In my browser or the downloaded version it all works. I will look into it and fix it ASAP
Literally nothing to do, what the hell?
Yes it is a very short idle game, like I wrote in the description :D I might add more depth in the upcoming weeks
