Here we Grow again: Eyezmaze returns with Grow Tower
The mark of true game-making talent: pseudonymous Eyezmaze head 'On' has been an always reliable source of quality Flash gaming for going on five years now, and even if you swapped in new graphics, you can recognize his style from the mechanics themselves.
His newest, after nearly a year in hiatus, is Grow Tower and again consists of his signature fractal-array of possible item combinations that result in ever more bizarre reactions unique to each specific sequence. This one, On says, has only one solution for the truely maxed tower.
My best effort thus far: this 15 meter high contraption: I seem to have got the robot and the button working properly, but I've obviously underutilized that crank and gears...
Attention iPhone developers: commercializing these games is an absolute no-brainer (at 99 cents a pop, or as a higher priced collection?). I'm surely not the first to think of it though, On's FAQ says he's currently considering incorporating and heading down a monetized path.

this is a great grow game. though, in looking at your screen shot, i'd say you don't have the robot and button working properly.

The robot does indeed get more interesting. It's incredibly fun to watch the whole thing come together!

As with all Grow games the rule of thumb is that if things aren't totally crazy then you didn't do it right.

I think that the smaller format makes each component much more interesting, even if the entire game is actually a little bit easier.

Walkthrough here if you feel you need it (though you shouldn't -- it's a short one).
