    I like the design, but it's so unintuitive that it turns me off it. There's only one solution, apparently.

    A shame, because it has the seeds of a great and original game - where you level up the surroundings instead of a hero character (or level up the hero by leveling up the surroundings).

    A tip - water stops the demon stomping.

    Gasp! Again! <3
    By the way, figuring out one of the triggers, such as water stopping the demon, doesn't always mean that you should try to get that trigger; in the original, you could cause a volcano by doing things in a certain way, but it wasn't a good sign, so to speak.

    I beat this game yesterday, if anyone wants to know the trick i think i can recall it and pm you with it. y'know if you <i>really</i> need to see how it ends.


    There's kind of a trick ending to it... heheh... you'll see once you max everything.

    snide; that's the point of grow :p
    It's a puzzle game.

    It's all about working out how things connect and I find it immensely addictive ^^

    I don't like finding out fairly arbitary rules. Good puzzle games are not trial and error.

    The only real solution is to look up a walkthrough. Unless you do not value your state of mind.

    Oh, err, fun game. But of course, after two tries I googled the solution.

    Then it needs to level up more. Without castle, hero dead.

    Sonic you need to make sure your castle is level3 (or is it 4?) either way, it has a little wall around it, that way it wont die.

    Yeah, the wall means the king gets thundara. I'm not sure why, but hey, that's how it goes.

    Rocks are also important for treasure chests.

    Lvl MAX woods means that everyone gets to party with balloons.

    You don't need a walkthrough; you just need to work out how long things take to max and if there's any special rules to making them get to max. For example the tower has 4 levels so you can't put it on as one of your last 3 pieces; it has to go before to become maxxed ^^

    All the same it's fun seeing the lil story change each time you try :3

    While we're talking quirky games, check <a href='http://www.onemorelevel.com/games/avoider.html' target='_blank'>Avoider</a> out. Don't let the little bastard steal your cursor. Click on the two-symbol long Jap string to begin.

    depending on whether you click on the middle, left or right of the 'bush' section it tilts either left or right, the objective is to get it to grow as tall as you can, by clicking on the planter and then the bushes without them tilting too far to the left or right.

    ahhhh so the aim of vanilla is to click it up the middle as best you can or 'correct' it as you go up if you slipped up :3
