Peculiar little game

Post by Waddley »

It took me about 45 minutes to beat... but then, I was following the incorrect advice of a friend, so... serves me right.

Anyway, give it a try! :D

Wow, that was strange.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Full of the heavens and time.

...yes, very strange...
I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time

Heh, saw this a while back - it was linked by Penny Arcade. Good game, takes a while to work out. You should try the Cube.

I spent a fair while completing this and that cube one when they were last posted.

Good fun.

I don't get it. Really, I don't. Am I stupid?

In the RPG one you have to select the things in the right order so that once they have all been selected they are all at maximum growth. Some have more levels to grow through than others and some can only grow under certain situations.

Or if you want the short version:

Place items, win game.

Okay, I got the RPG thing, but what's the point of the cube and all those other versions? And there's no logic to it until you've tried it half a dozen times; you can't guess the order from the get-go.

I'm addicted to the RPG game, though. I admit it. :P

Took me a long time to get everything on the RPG back when I did it. The forest has far more levels than you might suspect at first.

And the 'point' is it's a puzzle! What other point does it need?

The point is to get everything at max level. The only one I'm not able to get is the first cube, with the trees and little men and water. Too many things that work together... it started to hurt my brain and I gave up :?

I managed to get the Cube - hints include choosing the little man first, choosing the trees before the pipe, and choosing the ball before the spring.

The cube is defo worth sticking with. The completion is very satisfying.

Thank you. You've re-inspired me to play. I don't think that I ever tried the little men first.
