Remember the wierdass "Grow" game internet fad a couple years ago where you drag items onto a sphere? Well, now there's a new one, for a cube!

HEY I JUST GREW A BLACK CHOCOBO.HOP YOU DONT MIND.

― rio natsume, Saturday, 24 September 2005 02:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Woo, I just finished this one! I'd never done one of them by myself until today, so I'm rather proud of myself. Although, I've been playing it on and off since lunchtime.

― melton mowbray (adr), Saturday, 24 September 2005 20:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I am finally finished the roleplaying one. Took me about 15 tries because i could never get the rocks to level up. Yay me.

this the most beautiful thing i've ever seen

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 September 2005 13:05 (eighteen years ago) link

YES did it! that is gorgeous.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Grow cube is friggin hard. I still haven't gotten it, though seeing the fossil turn into a giant turtle was very nice indeed.

It's amazing isn't it? Those games have the best payoffs ever!

If anyone's thinking of taking this to the "I give up" thread, I'm sure I've got my workings out written down somewhere.

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 30 September 2005 18:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay, just got it.

― pr00de, where's my car? (pr00de), Friday, 30 September 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

grow cube is fine, it's original flavour grow I can't work out.

I love the other games on eyezmaze as well - they're so pretty and cute and fun to work out!

― spontine (cis), Friday, 30 September 2005 22:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Grow Sphere actually has several combinations that solve it.

this blog entry has one and there are more in comments.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 30 September 2005 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

And of course, the sphere has 12 options, so there are 479,001,600 possible orders to go in, instead of merely 3,628,800 as with the cube's 10.

Grow Christmas

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Sunday, 18 December 2005 07:02 (eighteen years ago) link

OMG, thankyou so much. I'm think I'm going to do this tonight. Is it still as laborious and seemingly illogical as the old ones? I think that's what I love about them so much, and what makes me be able to spend a whole night on them.

― melton mowbray (adr), Sunday, 18 December 2005 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, with only six options, I figured it out pretty quickly. The best part is the way the Christmas tree has devil horns, although the cyclops angel is pretty good, too.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Sunday, 18 December 2005 17:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooh, I got the Grow Xmas in 3 tries. It does have way fewer options, admittedly. Maybe we'll see a Grow Halloween next year, I like the seasonal thing.

― Laura H. (laurah), Sunday, 18 December 2005 18:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Merry Xmas! I love you.

― melton mowbray (adr), Sunday, 18 December 2005 19:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not sure I feel comfortable with being on "I love you" terms with Santa.

― Laura H. (laurah), Sunday, 18 December 2005 20:15 (eighteen years ago) link

How great is Grow RPG?

― remy (x Jeremy), Sunday, 18 December 2005 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Brilliant! This is the only one I've solved without cheating.

― robster (robster), Monday, 19 December 2005 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

i really didn't understand these.

― snowkitten (g-kit), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Basically you just have to choose different items in different orders. The order in which you choose the items causes them to have different effects on each other (some logical, some completely not), and you essentially try different configurations until you get max levels on everything. There are a lot of cute animations along the way so you don't mind that it's a little grindy.

― Laura H. (laurah), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:41 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i understand the concept completely. i just didn't .... get it.

― snowkitten (g-kit), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:46 (eighteen years ago) link

what a weird... thing.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

strangely fascinating.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 21:53 (eighteen years ago) link

shit

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i had a drunk dream about this this morning

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 19:26 (eighteen years ago) link

do tell

― kingfish holiday travesty (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 19:36 (eighteen years ago) link

it was a confused dream about trying to solve one of them. not particularly interesting in and of itself i'm afraid!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 19:46 (eighteen years ago) link

shucks.

― kingfish holiday travesty (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I finally got so bored at work I finished off the RPG one.
I like how it ends with that really long animation that makes you feel so stupid for ever playing any RPG ever. What the hell.

Dude is at it again! Wooo!

This one is hard! My high score is 25, and I can't remember how I got to it.

― c(''c) (Leee), Sunday, 21 May 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I fucked off and found a walkthrough before long (something I've never done before with one of On's puzzles.) It didn't seem very logical to me.

― Keywords: revenge, knife, granddaughter, demonic-possession, rock-star, eel (Aus, Sunday, 21 May 2006 18:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I've given up on that one and have been spending the last hour on a Sim City-style one: http://jayisgames.com/archives/2006/03/cityscape.php

― c(''c) (Leee), Sunday, 21 May 2006 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I managed 35 points before my computer spontaneously restarted. What was supposed to be in the second bottle?

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Sunday, 21 May 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I have 55. Sumbitch pot won't cook! What the fudge!

― David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 21 May 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

SPOILERs

Ok, I figured out how to hatch that ugly-yet-vain creature, but I can't get the clock to spit out the key again.

― c(''c) (Leee), Sunday, 21 May 2006 22:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I cheatered.

― David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 21 May 2006 23:50 (seventeen years ago) link

This is brutal!

I managed to finish RPG and cube for the first time though. Cube's payoff is AMAZING

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Monday, 22 May 2006 01:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I also gave up and cheated.

― c(''c) (Leee), Monday, 22 May 2006 03:37 (seventeen years ago) link

where is the walkthrough? I can't find anything on Google.

― A. Lingbert (A. Lingbert), Monday, 22 May 2006 06:54 (seventeen years ago) link

It's at http://jayisgames.com/archives/2006/05/chronon.php#comment-47500 , but don't scroll! It's the Spoiler link underneath "How I got where I am".

― melton mowbray's APOCALYPTO! (adr), Monday, 22 May 2006 07:12 (seventeen years ago) link

thank you sir

― A. Lingbert (A. Lingbert), Monday, 22 May 2006 07:38 (seventeen years ago) link

This new one is really hard, I can't get anywhere with it. I loved the Cube one though, and the RPG.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 22 May 2006 07:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I got to 55 pts then I had to cheat. I missed the clock tail.

― a.b. (alanbanana), Monday, 22 May 2006 07:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Imposs. Can't do it EVEN WITH SPOILERS :( My shame...

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Monday, 22 May 2006 10:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still wondering what clues there are in the game that tell you to hang the clock @ 12:55 and THEN go back to 6:15 or whatever.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 22 May 2006 13:28 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah it seems to make no sense, unless i'm missing something blatantly obvious (which is quite possible really).

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

The bouncing back and forth in time is EXACTLY what made no sense to me in this puzzle. If that had been left out, I probably would have had the patience to solve it.

Damn these smart peepul maken me feel bad. I is smart. I IS SMART!!!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 10:48 (seventeen years ago) link

This new one eats balls.

― Dan (Stupid) Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Kev, the people who figured it out aren't so much smart as they are in need of lives. [Disclaimer: kettle/pot/black]

― c(''c) (Leee), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Grow Cube is AWESOME when you get it :)

It takes me so much willpower not to cheat on those things, though. BUT I GOT THE CUBE ALL BY MYSELF. If you have no willpower, email me I guess, I wrote thme down :)

New one, I think

that was pretty easy though

Yep. But charmin'.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 3 August 2006 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't play this because I am at w0rk where I need it most!

― c('°c) (Leee), Friday, 4 August 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

The cube is very very cute. I lost patience with the sphere. I bizarrely got the RPG one first time by picking things at random.

I'm sending the cube link to all my friends now; I can't beleive this thing hasn't swept t'internets already.

Grow Island

― kv_nol, Thursday, 13 September 2007 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link

awesome this is the first one I solved on my own. this one has more amusing errors than the others, I think.

OMG GROW CUBE U R DRIVIN ME MAAAAAD

― jhøshea, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link

I guess I got grow island right my first try. :(

― polyphonic, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:09 (sixteen years ago) link

I kinda think these would be more fun if you could undo

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

like you could build a gigantic one with all sorts of awesome branching trees of events but nobody would play it if you couldn't at least go back and reverse last x number of steps

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:02 (sixteen years ago) link

hint for grow island: line of sight is important

― abanana, Thursday, 13 September 2007 23:36 (sixteen years ago) link

if you beat grow 1 then you unlock undo feature

― chaki, Friday, 14 September 2007 00:21 (sixteen years ago) link

dammit, does grow island tend to "freeze" for anybody else?

― kingfish, Friday, 14 September 2007 02:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I noticed that a few times, though it just means that you didn't beat it.

― Leee, Friday, 14 September 2007 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link

ooh it's been a while since i played the Cube one, so luckily i'll have completely forgotten how i solved it and be able to play it all over again with the same frustration levels.

bah can't play any at work tho stoopid websense system

― Ste, Friday, 14 September 2007 08:45 (sixteen years ago) link

someone should make one called BRO

― s1ocki, Saturday, 15 September 2007 15:29 (sixteen years ago) link

holy crap, there's a secret ending.

Do Auto -> Civil -> Arch -> CS -> Elect -> Mech -> Chem -> Env

― kingfish, Monday, 17 September 2007 06:08 (sixteen years ago) link

damn, I got really close to that on my run through! That's awesome. Why don't regular games have secret endings that cool?

― El Tomboto, Monday, 17 September 2007 06:26 (sixteen years ago) link

That is fantastic! Well found kingfish.

― kv_nol, Monday, 17 September 2007 08:35 (sixteen years ago) link

No problem. Alerted to that from another board.

― kingfish, Monday, 17 September 2007 10:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Why don't regular games have secret endings that cool?

The Silent Hill games have secret UFO endings too.

― abanana, Monday, 17 September 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Is that the one where the guy hooks up his laptop?

― Leee, Monday, 17 September 2007 16:17 (sixteen years ago) link

CONGRATU-ALIEN-S!

I wonder how many extra hours it took to program the secret ending.
