All Grown Up: New Eyemaze Game

The endearingly sleepy Grow series continues, with designer/animator Eyezmaze last week beckoning folk into Grow Valley. This ongoing collection of flash games is a funny series to post about, as it’s so resolutely unchanging. What else can I say beyond “the animations are wonderful and unpredictable?” While in this one one he’s extending the visual conceit into the characters interacting with the interface rather than being entirely abstracted from it, it’s still about pushing icons in the right order. The dreamlike cheer is undiminished, however, and there’s more detail and care in the animations than ever before. Play it, sigh contentedly, then try to find the secret bonus ending.
