The Player is cursed and starts to age backwards each time he dies
(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used
GROW DOWN is a PS1-style 3D beat-em-up where dying is the countdown.
Nitish, 72, was cursed by the sorcerer-brothers Krish and Rahul: every time he falls, his life rewinds. Old age brings crushing strength but slow fists — youth brings speed, but a glass jaw. Fight through Krish's Temple and Rahul's Alley, break the curse out of both brothers, and manage your own mortality like a resource: every death trades power for speed, and the counter only moves one way. 72 → 58 → 40 → 28 → 16 → 10 → 4 → 1. Die at 1 and Nitish is erased.

Fun game.Like Reverse Sifu.
like the idea. you should keep working on it and improve the level design.
The gimmick of the game is hilarious and I love how it actually ties into the gameplay instead of being just a visual gag. i did fall into the void because i thought i saw an alleyway with a potential secret, the hole is at the end of the second level
Quite nice, though you can beat every fight by just spamming block+punch
I love the look of all the 3d models. And the kid's running animation is hilarious
Amazing game i woukd say. Love the low ps1 look i would love to see a proper level with this graphic and idea .
it was fun , Cool concept,
Good idea ,similar to sifu but in reverse I like it
crazy, very creative could do better with the environments but still pretty good
