[Link here](http://www.eyezmaze.com/grow/cube/index.html) It’s only been a few months since Grow RPG. Are they going to start churning them out like this? I hope so, they entertain me so. ---

I played it a few times. I think I got the ultimate finish when the turtle-like creature grew out of the bottom of the cube. ---

Yeah! I did it. Pretty quickly actually. I finally figured out how to work these rather then just mindlessly trying combos. Well I suppose I knew all along but I finally sat down and did it. Oh, and here’s a minor clue if you need one. The fire can take two paths and only one of those lets you max it out, the other’s a dead end. ---

I’m no good at this! But I’ll be playing this all night trying to figure it out. ---

Try the Grow RPG first if you haven’t done these before. It’s only got 8 elements and is more straightforward. You really have to keep track of how you add things. Note when certain things get maxed out and what things are lacking. Then alter that list little by little to get closer and closer to the solution. ---

Is this mirrored anywhere else, or is there a way to download it for later play? ---

I have no idea what’s going on. I just click on the things to add them, and hope I add them at the right time in the right order? On my first try, I maxed out the level on the bowl of water, got the little man, the bone, and the water to 3, the bucket to 4, the tube to 2, and everything else stayed at 1. ---

You must pick the items in the exact correct order to win. If you fail to max out a particular item, that means you picked it too late and picked something else too early. ---

OK, I took a couple of teps back and did the GROW RPG. Finally won that, and am now on the Grow V3. I got everything maxed out except that little pipe…but I laid down the pipe first, dammit! Also, I can’t remember the exact order I do thigns in. :smack: ---

Well, after ,uch time that shuold have been spent actually _working_ (lucky for me it was a slow day in which nothing actualyl broke) I finally managed to finish grow RPG, grow v3, and grow cubed, all without any outside help. ---

Hee! I had to get one teeny hint from a friend before I figured the blasted thing out. The finish was very neat. ---

Ok, two days is enough. Spoil, Grow RPG for me. I swear, I’ve tried every possible combination. I get maxes on all but the trees and house, so the guy at the end dies. Help. ---

**Fern Forest** Thanks, I thought I’d done that combo, but obviously not. Now I can rest 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-grow-game-this-time-its-cubed/322270.md?page=2)
