Smudged Cat Games is going for a lot less hassle this time around; no XBLA for Growing Pains. This title looks to improve upon Shuggy’s and (for me Super Meat Boy’s) longer or more difficult stage flaws: check points. Grueling platformers can definitely be as hard as they want to be for me, and they can even reward me for a perfect (no-death) run. However, I want some save points while I learn the levels.
Thankfully, Smudged Cat has heard my whelps. They’ve also redesigned the controllable character, which now looks like some ghoulish rendition of Addams’ Family’s cousin “It.”
SteamFirst: Growing Pains is a 2D Platformer available on Steam. You control a little ball that grows over time and you need to complete the level before it’s too late. But does Growing Pains grow on you, or is it just a pain?
Growing pains is a fast and furious platformer which gives the genre a shake up with psychedelic graphics, a thumping soundtrack and an ingenious twist that you’ve never seen before. The "Vessel" which you control continually grows and expands leaving you in a permanent race to clear the area and escape before you get too big and find your butt wedged in a tight spot.
Smudged Cat Games has released their trailer for the next planned levels of Growing Pains.
