Important news for those of you who care about this sort of thing

There is yet another version of Grow. It is shaped like a cube. It is wack, as usual. Enjoy.

How do you solve it? I don't get what's supposed to happen.

The various things interact with each other in different ways depending on the order in which you place them on the cube; get all ten items in the correct order and you win. I found the original one completely inscrutable myself, at first. You might want to try the RPG version, which is the first one I actually solved, and which I think is the easiest of the three.

I played it until well past my bedtime, because I was determined to figure it out on its own terms. Finally got it, but not thanks to much "figuring" on my part. There are some bizarro visual clues (I think) as you continue to guess right, but I couldn't say WTF any of it means. Delightful. Make sure you have eye drops for afterward before you begin.

I'm not sure if I 'won' or not. How do you know when you've finished? (I got the little puff of smoke and the ball rising from the pot - is that the end?)

I HAVE JUST WASTED AN ENTIRE EVENING ON THIS.

You are veeeery close to winning. (You will know if you win, believe me.) I am available for hints.

You'll know you've won when you see a CONGRATULATIONS banner. At least that's what I remember happening from last night. What I can't remember this morning is how to do it again.

so much time wasted on this game.

I'm not saying I'm complaining or anything.
