* HarsherInHindsight: ''Grow Recovery'' (also known as ''Grow nano vol.3'') is a lot more uncomfortable to play after On was diagnosed with a heart disease that got so bad that he was ''clinically dead'' for about a minute during a surgery operation for it. The game also shows the Onky's family giving him love and support as he recovers, which... didn't quite happen in real life, as On's wife would ultimately divorce him over the stress surrounding the entire situation and the recurring Onky family that we see in ''Grow'' games, including this one, is based on On's own family. Although he's still in good term with his ex-wife and children, toning it down a bit.

** ''Grow Comeback'' was meant to serve as a comeback to On's creations after a period of online inactivity. Sadly, it ended up being a short-lived return, because On was the victim of severe health problems shortly after the game came out. Said health problems slowed down On's projects a lot.

Seems like a misuse, it's foreshadowed and it makes sense in the game's context.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The lava creature from ''Grow Island'' whom no one seems to notice, it may have an effect in the game if your engineer have cut down the forest but you have already lost if that happen so it doesn't even have that much impact.

* HilariousInHindsight: ''Grow Cube'' takes place on a big cube made of smaller cubes giving it similarities with ''{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}'' which came out years after.

* PortingDisaster: It's minor, but some ''Grow'' games made with [=HTML5=] have some pixelated artifacts in some places, which also applies to some Flash games that were ported on [=HTML5=] and originally had no visual problems.

* BrokenBase: Grow Clay was pretty controversial. Some decried it for being an [[AdvertisementGame advergame]], while others felt that On has to make a living somehow. This is somewhat understandable given that On has done advergames before[[note]]Grow Island, Grow Valley, Dwarf Complete[[/note]] but none have been quite so blatant as Grow Clay.
