We're releasing a small yet significant update with bugfixes, such as:
Removed the "Watch Ending" buttons from the extras menu that were left visible by default in from my debugging. Oops.
Fixed the antigrav zone locking the game or preventing you from saving or dying from falling off the stage. Special thanks to Crysack for the report! This is the fifth time i fix this bug. Will it be the last one? Absolutely not.
Fixed game not autosaving on quit on the last six levels nor any of the chapter D levels
Fixed weird interactions spawning from dying, going back into the menu before resetting the level, then loading a save
Thank you for your support.
Update 1.1 Released!
An update has been released with the following changes:
The final boss is finally playable. Oopsie.
Anna now always appears in the final cutscene.
Added a shadow to the ending credits to make them more readable
You can now replay the final boss once you kill it without the need to reopen the game
Updated Anna's room with objects that were initially cut due to time constraints
Added a completionism achievement for when you get all the other achievements
Thank you all for your support!
GROW FLOW 1.0 IS OUT NOW!
After two and a half years in development, Grow Flow has been fully launched! Changes from the previous version include (but aren't limited to):
Doubled the maximum time you can stay inside of Unsafe Zones
Fixed several saving/loading bugs related to Unsafe Zones
Reformualted how Unsafe Zones were coded - which only means previous saves in chapter 5 levels with Unsafe Zones will not work, so overwrite them!
Fixed several Level Design issues from chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6. This also includes making a few levels easier than previously, and more fun too.
Fixed an inumerable number of issues regarding the Antigrav Zones. No more flying for you!
Actually, i fixed a lot of issues related to Unsafe Zones but i didn't write them all down. I'll give 5 dollars to the person that finds another bug regarding them. They're all gone. Dead.
Antigrav Zone now stops making sound when you change level while inside one of them.
Other than fixes and changes, we have plenty of new inclusions!
Added a new chapter to the game, containing ten levels!
Added three new endings!
Added the two missing extras!
Added a new... enemy?
Added several new secrets!
Hahah i should've written this all down because i'm pretty sure i'm forgetting a thing or two
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have fun with the game! Don't let anybody tell you how to play! I Sincerely hope you enjoy your time the same way i did while i was doing some final playtesting a couple months ago. And once again, thank you for your support!
Prepare for Grow Flow's Full Launch!
Last friday the fourth, we've announced that Grow Flow will finally be out of early access on 18 of this very month! You can watch the full trailer right here:
The store page will also be receiving several changes this next week.
On the other side, we're delisting the demo from Steam. Let me be honest with you: the demo is an awful reflection of the current state of the game. (Unintentional) Bugs, bad physics, awful serialization... Leaving it up would be an awful decision - and yet, i decided i would leave it as is on the other store, simply for preservation sake. Still, thank you for the hundreds of downloads the demo got over the last year and a half!
Update 0.9.3 Released!
A new Grow Flow update has been released, containing:
Broken Mirrors wont play sound when attempted to be interacted with anymore
Fixed Anna's model changing unintentionally in Chapter 1 Level 3 if the player is a true speedrunner
Significantly improved death plane detection, which means you won't be able to fall forever anymore! The death floor is lower in the majority of levels, but higher on some that had poorly placed ones. This also fixes the three or so levels that would kill you on completion.
Fixed a bug where the game couldn't properly load achievements, resulting in the game being unplayable from the very beginning. Sorry!
Update 0.9.2 Released!
We have uploaded a new patch with the following changes:
Added par times to Chapter 2 levels
Added a button that allows you to sync your achievements with Steam and vice versa
Added Discord rich presence! I had no time to test this whatsoever so hopefully it works flawlessly :D
Fixed the second Anna animation of levels with two animations not playing after loading a save. Still not great on the first level, but it is the only moment in the game that would require a much more robust and well planned animation system
Removed an
unexpected* element from Chapter 1 Level 5. Whoops!
Fixed a Normal cube in Chapter 2 Level 4 having twice its intended size
Made some alterations to the end of Chapter 2 Level 8
Fixed Chapter 2 Level 8 not saving certain elements
Repositioned a Prism Coin in Chapter 2 Level 9 to fix a clipping issue
Adjusted Switch Cube timers on Chapter 2 Level 10
Fixed a bug where Coin Collected percentage was not being calculated correctly
Update 0.9.1 Released!
A new update for Grow Flow has been released, containing the following:
Added three new achievements
Added new progression icons to the Extras menu
Began implementing par times (currently only for Chapter 1)
Added a new Achievements menu
Fixed a bug where certain Chapter 6 levels wouldn't autosave
Fixed a bug where loading a save while inside an Unsafe Zone breaks Unsafe Zones entirely
Fixed a bug where the number of the level was shown as zero on the tenth level of any given chapter
Fixed one of Anna's animation on Chapter 2 Level 3 not looping properly
Greatly optimized memory management in the Extras menu. Likely doesn't affect you in any way, but hey, i'm proud of it!
Thank you very much for your support!
