About 15 years ago there was a cute flash game where you had a little cube world that was a puzzle to grow into a bigger fancier environment by clicking on trigger points in the correct order. I have no idea what it was called, and can’t describe it well enough to search for it if it still exists. Every couple of years I try. Resources like this give me hope that little gems and works of art from the past will live on, even if the underlying tech is gone. Edit: Wow, this time I found it: https://www.eyezmaze.com/grow/cube/ https://www.eyezmaze.com/grow/cube/ HTML5: https://www.eyezmaze.com/sp/2016/08/growCube.html https://www.eyezmaze.com/sp/2016/08/growCube.html Original: https://www.crazygames.com/game/grow-cube https://www.crazygames.com/game/grow-cube HN is just serendipitous

There was a whole series of them—my favorite was GrowRPG, where you play an adventurer and pick which order you do encounters.

I played this game back in the day! Thanks for reminding me. The author seems to be in poor health and in need of financial support: https://www.eyezmaze.com/sp/2020/12/onlineSupport.html https://www.eyezmaze.com/sp/2020/12/onlineSupport.html

Interesting, I found it here previously, but it appears to have disappeared from this site (hence archive link): https://web.archive.org/web/20211222213700/https://www.gamedesign.jp/games/growcube/ https://web.archive.org/web/20211222213700/https://www.gamed...

I used to love the eyezmaze games and for about a year or so, I would eagerly await the next instalment in the series. Recently I learned that the developer has cancer and his wife seems to have left him. I think his Twitter also went silent a while ago. Very sad, considering how much joy these games brought me and certainly countless others in the mid-2000s. Edit: it wasn’t cancer but a heart defect of some sort.

  Can’t edit my comment from Octal for some reason. It wasn’t cancer but some sort of heart defect.

OMG I remember as a little kid watching my older brother play this all the time. This unlocked a core memory
