New GROW game!
Hey, I know how you can spend your whole Saturday!

There's a new GROW game out from the guy who created Alien Whack-A-Mole, my favorite Internet game evar.

As if GROW and GROW RPG weren't already time-suck enough. But what the hell. I love this guy's little Flash games. I spent a couple of hours I couldn't spare on this game last night, meaning I was up until 5 a.m. working, but hey, I got half the items to their level max.

Must… resist… urge… to… play… all… day…

Edited to add:

[info]storme was the first person I know of to post a solution. Here 'tis, for the impatient:

The correct sequence is: man, water, flowers, pot, tube, fire, dish, bone, spring, ball. Rock on!

I'm-a feelin': bouncy

Re: new GROW rocks

If you were having fun, it wasn't a waste. Or maybe not MUCH of one. :^) Care to share your solution? I haven't had time to work on it this morning, but I'm dying to see how close I came.

Man! Why is everyone cooler than me? I spent two hours on it this morning and didn't solve it.

congratulations - I thought I had found all the ways I could possibly procrastinate, but apparently, there's more...

I thank you, but my homework doesn't :)

Oh, there are ALWAYS more ways to procrastinate. Check out the rest of the site! It's procrastilicious.

And that's a wonderful icon, by the way.

That's a great little game. Took me about an hour to figure out the solution - I love his art style and thought process. Now I have to go back and solve the original one (which I played a bit ages ago)...

And don't forget the RPG version

I've since solved both. They're pretty cool. The RPG is especially great, what with that long ending. I'm impressed at how many individual wrong outcomes are covered in the RPG, too. A collection of these would make a great little handheld product - maybe 8 or 10 of them all themed together so they told some larger story. Maybe the little people from the latest one on some journey?
