grow figure [browser]
Eyezmaze just launched a crowdfunding campaign to revive his grow games and make the transition from Flash to html5 and released a mini htmlt5 grow game: grow figure.
Cute game, aside from the ultra repetitive music. And the booing when you do the heart last. As for a hint on how to solve, the last 3 options are the Homestuck number.
It may be that the conversion to HTML5 is new, rather than the older flash version. Anyway, this may be an unpopular opinion, but the Grow games are kind of weak (this one being no exception). He has some really great other games, but the Grow games tend to just be trial-and-error, and not much else. They have some some neat, cute animations, but they're just not very good as games themselves.
And to add, I was really disappointed to find that those old great games seem to be completely missing from his site. I might be able to find some of them hosted elsewhere, but who knows.
Yes it's not really a new game, but a html5 remake of a no longer available flash game. But in the meantime Eyezmaze just released a brand new grow game!
@Anonymous There *is* a little trial-and-error involved, but if you pay attention to the clues at the end of each attempt, then it should be minimal. Usually these can be solved in 4-8 attempts depending on how many items there are, as opposed to the hundreds of attempts a pure trial-and-error approach would take. You need to note how the various items interact with each other, and which ones didn't evolve fully at the end of each failed attempt. Great games.
If you are you looking for a solution or a walkthrough for one of the game links, please have a look in the comments.

Nice little game - and a nice ending too!

This isn't a new game?? I remember playing it on the site a long while back, and the date on the post is 2011. Still fun though

*wonders if the game should have a walkthrough*

Actually the original, flash version is still available, under the original name: Grow Nano 4 (scroll down a little to reach the game).
