marinwood posted a link to this game. Kudos (by which I mean the chocolatey granola bar) to anyone who can figure out the rules and/or tell me why it's so oddly captivating?
After wasting a lot of time doing valuable research, I still haven't reached the maximum number of points (atm I'm stuck at 12100 and nine items reaching their full growth), but I know now how it it basically works. The growth of the parts depends on each other, and when you forget things, an item may grow for a while but not reach it's maximum potential, for example when you don't manage to produce the rain clouds from the pipe the mountain will grow a bit, but it won't grow into a green one, but into a huge bare red one, similarly I think if you don't manage to grow the sun inbetween stage of from the orange ball (in the end it becomes a moon) then the clouds over the mountain won't dissipate and it won't grow green but remain blue. I haven't figured out all connections yet though, for example I'm not sure yet how the cube grows best nor what the pipe does after producing the rain etc. It's a really fun game though.
