Eyezmaze finally releases a new Grow game

Tower!

Eyezmaze has always had a special place in my heart with the quirky Grow series of games. They defy explanation—you’ll just have to go figure it out on your own.

Today I dropped in and to my delight, a new Grow game is out: GrowTower.

The idea of Grow games is relatively simple. Pick an object and watch it grow. To “win” there is, however, only one correct order of choices that will get you the craziest contraption possible. No matter what order you choose, you are sure to see some wacky and delightful animations.

I remember a time a few years back when several members of this very community were hooked on the Grow games. We had discussions about the best way to beat GrowRPG and GrowCube. Once you figure out the pattern, it sort of makes sense in an abstract way, but in the end we generally beat them by trial and error.

I expect a resurgence in Grow! culture here at Icrontic. Don’t let me down.
