« Fun, quick game. Getting all upgrades is a bit dumb as it draws it out for way too long after you actually complete the game. DO NOT OPEN ALL 401 BOOSTER PACKS! it will break the game... »

« Very short, but still sweet. 100% the game in less than 100 minutes, but I would rather a good experience then artificially inflating the upgrades 5x longer. Wish it was longer, but had fun »

« Tasty Planet as an incremental is a fun idea, but beyond that this is a really unimaginative game. There is even an upgrade and an achievement that acknowledges that the game is tedious and boring in the end. »

Is Growing My Manhole worth it in 2026?

Yes for the right audience, despite some caveats: 79% of 104 Steam reviews are positive (player score 72/100). Most-praised strength: Gameplay draws strong praise. Current price: 4,99€.

Verdict

Growing My Manhole succeeds as a charming, affordable time‑killer, with its core gameplay and sound design resonating strongly. However, technical rough edges and a paucity of substantive content keep it from reaching a higher tier. It’s a solid pick for short‑play sessions but not a flagship indie title.
