Downvoted for 'It's not much.' What is with the constant, sniveling pusillanimity in this subreddit? It is always 'humble' this and 'oh, just some' that. MAN UP AND PROUDLY POST YOUR FUCKING BUILD.
Try: "THIS IS MY FUCKING CUBE. I THINK IT IS SO FUCKING RAD I AM GOING TO POST IT ON THE INTERNET SO YOU CAN SEE HOW RAD IT IS. UPVOTE THIS IF YOU AGREE WITH ME IN REGARD TO ITS RADNESS."

Upvoted for teaching me a new word today.

Sorry man. I said "It's not much" because it took me 45 minutes in creative mode (i know how some people feel about creative mode) off of a reference picture that was basically made to be put in to minecraft. It's gridded out and everything. And compared so some of the creations people post on this subreddit, it isn't much. But I see your point and next time I shall implore the people to view the radness that is my creation. With lots of caps.
Edit: And also, it ended up being about ten times more successful than I thought it would. Apparently, a lot of people are pretty passionate about the grow games.

'pusillanimity' is now my favourite new word.

Grow Cube was indeed the best Grow game.

This is pretty awesome, I recognized it instantly. :)

Try to animate it with pistons next

although it would probably take a looooooooooooong time and might not be possible I would love to play this

Does this remind anyone else of Super Mario 64? With the isolated level, the squared of edges, the colorfulness, the platform look, the mushrooms... Maybe it's just me.

Whomp fortress.

i think he want's to say you're wrong about the "one of the few who gets that." because a lot of us played grow games

Here is a link to the game if you don't know what I'm talking about, and here is what it looks like finished (spoilers, I guess?).
You just brought back a flood of memories. Thank you so much.
God damnit, I had almost forgotten about this genre.
Possibly the worst series of flash games that can be considered games that I've ever played. You either need a godly memory or you have to start making a spreadsheet containing every button and how it interacts with everything else if you want to win since none of the combinations make any sense.
Were you even supposed to win at these things or was it supposed to be like Windosill where you're just supposed to feel puzzled and not really care? I liked that part of Windosill but these Grow games piss me off. Cool build though, nice to see something original.
I kindly disagree.
On some, it's really random, but on that one you actually see how things combine and make sense together. You can note how many time each thing needs to grow, and at which state it needs another element at a certain state, and combine all that to work towards the solution.
Its more spectacle if anything.
Also it they all have multiple endings ;D

YES.
well shucks. you're gunna make me blush.
Ok in droves they were ridiculous but if you just take the good ones, I found them to be endearing. Sure they weren't much of a challenge but hey they were cute and only took like 15 minutes to complete.
