They are awesome, they are puzzles, and they are fun. (and them needing their own thread has come up like, 3 times in the happy thread)

GROW Valley seems to be the newest.

Talk about them here. or post pictures. either one.

[HonkyPunch]

i love them but I can never win
normally I am not trusting of interactive art.
EDIT: Though most games are 'Interactive art', arguably

[Aklyon]

Nooo! Don't link those!

You'll doom us all!

At leasty I didn't link directly to them.
You have to actually pick one out of the sidebar and click on it with that link.

Essentially, we are looking at the Basilisk in a mirror.

Oh God, the valley is my nemesis.  As far as I can tell, Good Endings rely on: first, design, since you need a plan and the guy needs time to wo-BANZAI.  Then you need either communications or power, but if you build communications networks first, then you'll need expanded server space sooner, which might be a problem later on.  Then you want mechanical engineering to get down to work building stuff.  Then it's a juggling act, and the humanities guy is always pissed off and looking for something to do.

I tried going in reverse, and starting with humanities (after design).  Basically turned into an undeveloped agrarian field.  So that's out.

And oh shit, there's an Alternate Ending that has to do with trains.  I already tried a path that got me polluting cars driving around, and that apparently wasn't so bad somehow, so I'm a little nervous.

SPOILER WARNING.  I haven't played that one yet.  I know what I'm doing tonight D:

I'll give you two hints. It involves letting the natural plant life grow unhindered and frustrating the designer.

[Jervous]

I've played all of them, they're pretty cute and fun. The RPG one was my favourite.

[dragnar]

Yes, I won Grow Valley! Took several tries to get the last three right. Now for the alternate ending...

[breadbocks]

Grow Valley is easy for the first two, then the rest I had to guess. I'm not even sure I won!

The ending is worth it though. It gave me a good laugh when I got it to work.

And yeah, Valley was the first grow game I beat without cheating. And it does seem to have some amount of quality over the others.

In the end, in order to win you're supposed to make sure that everything hits max at the end, which means finding combinations and the order which is most time efficient.

[mainiac]

It's not about combinations so much as about perquisites.  It's not that you need architecture level 2 in order to get a combo with mechanics.  It's that you already need to have unlocked a perquisite vehicle or building in order to activate the next mechanics invention.  Some things will grow on their own.

If you've won, then you'll know it.  It will tell you that everything is maxed.  Now I'm left curious about the alternate win condition.  Somehow I was able to get an above ground train one time and I'm curious if that might be compatible with the alternate win condition.  I like trains.

[Megaman]

In the end, winning all the grow games will be like curing cancer. Except useless to humanity

[mainiac]

The train is driving me crazy.  I can't get it without completely throwing everything else off.  I feel like it's key to the alternate ending, but I can barely rack up any levels at all if I get it.
