Addicting Flash Game: ‘Grow’

I found this yesterday off, I think, Boing Boing.  It’s a bizarrely addictive Flash game.  The “goal” is to choose the pieces in the right order so that they “level up” each other and eventually all 12 pieces get maxed out for a maximum score of 20,000.

Go ahead and give it a try.  I go up to 13,500 and 9 out of the 12 pieces at “maximum level” before I decided to search around for the solution (don’t spoil the fun before you try it yourself!).

Well I’ve got 13,900 and 9 maxed.  Having a heck of a time getting the block to max out.  Haven’t done it *once* yet, but I’ve gotten quite a variety of scores with 9 maxed.

I’ma figure this out.  Surely.

The solution (or, at least, one solution) is available at the link I provided in the original entry.  Just scroll down in their comments a little.

guys, you just have to get the trick what depends on what in it. I’ll give you an example - the hill is joined with the whirl, the whirl has to do with the tornado, and so on. You just have to get the hang of it, and that’s all. But i gotta admit, that the planet is the worst of those 3 games… I had to sit on it for 3 days to finally get the correct queue of the elements… but it’s a lot of fun.
If you want a tip, then look on the hill - if the whirl blows off the air from the tube, then it goes dry, and the max level of it is 4 then. but if it gets the bubbles… smile have fun guys! It’s not so difficult! If you do it mathematically, then it is 12^12 possibilities wink, just use your imagination.
