Hi!

In Beardgrow, you play a teenage kid who wants to do “manly” things to grow a beard and impress a girl from his class, so she goes with him to Junior High Prom.

The game is challenging and takes getting used to, but pretty rewarding once mastered, as you can pull off all sorts of sick dodges and clutch jumps.

I focused on 2-Button Controls for the gameplay (encapsulated the movement/jumping of platformers into two buttons only), and Growing (in more ways than one) for the story.

Here’s a screenshot:

If you can’t get anything higher than a Fuzz, you might wanna watch this video, showing 4 out of 5 of the game’s endings:

And if you feel like trying the game, here is a link to the entry page:

Have fun, good luck in the compo/jam!
