I Grew a Planet

Combat and word laws

I Grew a Planet is a PC action game about a tiny tin can whisked to another world, where you collect words and assemble “I reckon...” sentences that change how your weapons work. Fit words together during a fight and the new law takes effect immediately. You can stack laws without a stated limit, and laws for different weapons can operate at the same time.

The changes can be substantial: a knife can split into copies or send out Blade Waves, while a Thunder Hammer can be thrown and recalled, or sent off on its own as a Sentinel. Other weapon laws add bouncing and hovering to the Cleaver, or let the Bubble Blaster pop enemies into bubbles, explode them or drop them hard. The game also includes a Frying Pan, Juicer, Round Shield, Web Gloves, Fishing Rod and Voxel Gun.
