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. The "Vessel" continually grows and expands leaving you in a permanent race to escape the area before you find your butt wedged in a tight spot.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Growing Pains now has support for Steam Workshop! Now you can design your own levels using the in-game editor and publish them to the workshop. If you're not in a creative mood then subscribe to any levels you like the look of to play them in the game. I've created my own little level called "Waves of Fear", have a look for it on the Workshop page.

I'm currently working on adding support for Steam workshop. Hopefully this will lead to plenty more levels for people to play. Published maps will have leaderboards and replays just like the main levels so you can compete for the best times on them. Have a look at this video of the editor in it's current state. Level creation will be tightly integrated with the game itself, as shown in the video. This will let you switch quickly between editing and trying out your creation making creating a new map super easy!

When Growing Pains is launched you'll be able to win yourself a free Steam code for Gateways. All you have to do is get yourself to the top of one of the game's leaderboards. Finally, a reward fitting of the achievement!
