4	The ''Grow'' games are a series of quirky [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] puzzles games made by On Nakayama. You control a SugarBowl world, which you can fill with cute people, equally cute monsters, strange items, and odd architecture. The gameplay is simple: the game displays a selection of items, and the player must pick the items in the right order to advance the story. The items grow each turn and interact with ones previously chosen, providing clues that the player can use to figure out the correct sequence.
5
6	The appeal of the games lies in the cartoon humour and surreal events that you trigger as you explore the possible sequences and get closer to the solution. Sometimes, the wrong choices can be almost as entertaining as the right ones.
7
8	All the games are available to play online on [[http://www.eyezmaze.com/sp/2018/07/flash_game.html Eyezmaze, the author's website]], which also have other games with a similar ambiance by the same person. (The website is under reparations since Flash's death)

41	----
42	!!Grow Tropes:
43
44	* AdvertisementGame:
45	** ''Grow Island'' and ''Grow Valley'' are advertisements for the Shibaura Institute of Technology.
46	** ''Grow Clay'' is an advergame for the Japanese company "TECROSS".
47	* AfraidOfNeedles: The sick Onky from ''Grow Nano vol.3'' avoids the shot from a big syringe if he's not sleeping.
48	* AlienSky: In the secret ending of ''Grow Cinderella'', the sky turns [[spoiler: orange after the purple Onky steals the fairy godmother's magic staff, which is fitting since the secret ending is Halloween-themed.]]
49	* AllThereInTheManual: The name of some creatures are often found in side games by On, notably the ''Hatch'' games.
50	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation:
51	** The Onkies can be of various colors. Usually, it depends on the gender and the age, but in some games, their colors represent their specialities.
52	** Tonties also have various colors that tell their roles.
53	* AnimeHair: In the second level of ''Grow RPG Sigma'', the hero has spiky hair, compared to a bowl cut in the first level.
54	* AudienceParticipation: In October 2018, On made an audience participation game called ''[[https://twitter.com/ONKICHI/status/1049285632743206914 Grow RT]]'' on his Japanese Twitter account. The game consisted of an image of a creature and gave the audience two choice of how the creature would evolve, similarly to how ''Grow ver. 1'''s gameplay works. If the image would get enough reteweets, the creature would evolve and the audience would be presented with two new options to choose from (All steps can be seen [[https://twitter.com/ONKICHI/status/1051456468065513474 here]] on reverse order). The game got interrupted a week later due to the creator's health problem. In December 2020, he tried the concept [[https://twitter.com/EYEZMAZE/status/1341373413701521415 once again]] on his more popular English account (All steps can be seen [[https://twitter.com/EYEZMAZE/status/1341742325416960010 here]]). Once there was not enough people to reach the next evolution step (largely because the game went on a little hiatus), he decided to conclude the game with an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAlLO-co0us animation]] that was made thanks to the specific choices the audience made during the Twitter game.
55	* AuthorAvatar: A recurring group of characters in the ''Grow'' games and other games by On are a family of four Onkies based on On's own family. The family is composed of a yellow man based on On himself, a pink woman based on On's (now ex-) wife and an orange child and a green baby based on their sons. As of April 2021, On started to represent his youngest son as blue rather than green.
56	* BabiesEverAfter: After you finish ''Grow Maze'', you can visit the couple of creatures again and see that they got a baby
57	* BabyPlanet:
58	** ''Grow RPG'' takes place on a tiny planet that the hero can explore in a few minutes.
59	** The red ball from ''Grow Ver 3'' could count as a small planet since every items and creatures are attracted by it's gravitational center, even though the red ball itself is placed on a gray ground. The game was later renamed ''Grow Planet'', playing this trope straight regarding wether the ball is a planet or not.
60	** You end up making a little planet in the right path of ''Grow Ver.1''.
61	** In ''Grow Island'', you need a rocket-ship to pick up a blue potion on a planet that's even smaller than the examples above.
62	* BadassCape:
63	** The King from ''Grow RPG'' wears a cool red and black cape.
64	** The Sun Boy in ''Grow nano vol.2'' and ''Grow Maze'' has a badass cape when he's in his wizard outfit.
65	* BaitAndSwitch: At each turn in ''Grow Island'', the island shakes and the lava of the volcano rises, giving the impression that the volcano is eventually gonna erupt. Once it looks like the volcano is about to erupt in the final turn, a creature comes out of the volcano, pours lava out of a head-tentacle and goes back inside the volcano. While the effect is pretty much what the player expected, the execution is pretty unpredictable.
66	* BalloonBelly: The lake creature from ''Grow Cannon'' gets a huge round belly after eating a big fruit that's about the creature's size.
67	* BattleThemeMusic: The music changes when the hero fights the final boss in ''Grow RPG''.
68	* BeneathTheEarth: Tonties live underground in ant-like colonies with a queen and different kinds of Tonties with their own specialities.
69	* BigBallOfViolence: The cone and the cylinder creatures from ''Grow ver.2'' will fight into one if they see each other and will end up in a knot bag.
70	* BigDamnHeroes:
71	** If you did things right in ''Grow RPG'', the hero will almost get defeated by the dragon, but the King will zap it so your hero can finish it.
72	** In the intro of ''Grow Comeback'', the hero saves a child from a monster.
73	* BigEater: The creatures that appear in ''Grow Cannon'' and ''Grow Maze'' tend to eat a lot. The one in ''Grow Cannon'' even swallows a fruit bigger than itself.
74	* BigRedDevil: The main antagonist of ''Grow RPG'' is red and looks like a demon.
75	* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: ''Grow Tower'' is all about this, and ''Grow Cube'' is pretty screwy as well. ''Grow nano vol.0 and 1'' is like a LighterAndSofter Creator/SalvadorDali piece. ''Grow Maze'' has some of the maze's walls taking on the colors and textures of graham crackers and chocolate bars as you progress and the ending sequence features [[spoiler:you turning the final section of the maze into a living planetarium]]. [[spoiler: Then there's the secret ending of ''Grow Island''...]]
76	* BizarreAlienBiology: Most creatures in the ''Grow'' games works in strange ways, because the games use toon physics and the creator puts emphasis on creativity. In general, the way a creature works depends of the game, and pretty much every creature can transform in strange ways by interacting with an object or being in a specific place, but there are examples that are consistently weird.
77	** The Onkies have no faces, but can see and eat just fine, and their heads may also fall from their bodies, but their bodies can simply pick them up and put them back again. When they get exhausted, they melt as if they were made of wax. They also come in different colors that indicate either their gender, age or expertise depending of the game. Sometimes, they have the ability to self-duplicate.
78	** The Tonties are cyclops with horns. They live underground in colonies like ants, their colors and number of horns indicate their roles, and their queen is a big white Tontie-head with no body. One way for a white Tontie to become a queen is to have a crown fall on it. Its body is crushed under the weight of the crown and its own head (which also somehow gets bigger as the body is squished). Also, a different creature may turn into a white Tontie simply by falling into a spike. A big eye then appears on the creature whose original face somehow disappear and the spike become the newly-created Tontie's horn.
79	** The Rotta/Pierre is a creature that changes completely depending on if it's daytime or nighttime. Its "Rotta" form, which it takes during the day, is a blob monster that can shape-shift and which tends to sleep. Its "Pierre" form, which it takes during the night, is a round bat-like creature that splits in two if it's tapped by a hammer, after which a Onky comes out of it. Gluing the halves back together brings the Pierre back to life but changes its colors. Most of the time, Pierres have a yellow half and a green half, but the colors are sometime differents.
80	* BizarrePuzzleGame: The games are pretty much their own genre.
81	* TheBlank: The Onkies have no faces, [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter but they're still pretty cute.]]
82	* BlobMonster:
83	** The weakest monsters from ''Grow RPG'' are slimes.
84	** The Rotta creature is a shape-shifting blob-like creature that seems to have the consistence of dough.
85	* BlueIsHeroic: The hero from ''Grow RPG'' wears blue armor in contrast to the red demon he must fight.
86	* BoxAndStickTrap: ''Grow Maze'' features an oddball variant: bringing together the parts for creating a bucket-and-stick trap instead creates a strange furry creature shaped like a bucket, with its single leg forming the "stick." [[AllThereInTheManual Named Ixal]].
87	* BreathWeapon: Many creatures from different games can breath fire.
88	** The purple dragon and the demon from ''Grow RPG''.
89	** The red dragon from ''Grow Cannon''.
90	** [[spoiler: In the secret ending of ''Grow ver.3'' a little yellow dragon will eat some food and turn into a bigger dragon made of fire who will blow some at the bottom of the screen, if you did everythings right, the fire will turn into a ''CONGRATULATION !!'' message or rather a ''CONGRATU-FLAMES !!'' one. ]]
91	** The purple monster from ''Grow Comeback'' can beat the hero by breathing fire at him when he's not punching him.
92	* CartoonBomb: Colored, round, cartoon-ish bombs appear in a few games, like ''Grow RPG'' and ''Grow Park''.
93	* CartoonCheese: The Ixal creature is connected to a classic cartoon cheese by a string.
94	* CatchingSomeZs:
95	** In the intro of ''Grow Cannon'', the sleeping Onky has some Zs appear above his head and his "sleeping meter" also fills with Zs.
96	** The dragon in ''Grow Cannon'' has some Zs appear above its head when it sleeps.
97	** The design expert in ''Grow Valley'' falls asleep while preparing the later plans.
98	* {{Cephalothorax}}:
99	** A recurring creatures from the ''Grow'' games and others Eyezmaze games called Pierre is a flying round creature with a face, two little bat wings, two tiny hands and two horns. It's often half-green, half-yellow but the colors may vary in some games. Strangely if they are hit by a hammer, they will split in two and a Onky will come out of it. They are fine if you stick the halfs back with glue.
100	** Tonties queens are giant white Tontie heads with 2 horns and angel wings. The reason they just have a head is because their body got crushed by the weight of their own head and a crown.
101	** The robot you create at the end of ''Grow Clay'' have a big round head for a body.
102	* CherryTapping: [[spoiler: In the solution of Grow Cannon. After getting a basin of water (and the basin itself) dropped on him, stomped on, zapped, run over by a train, and NUKED, the sleeping guy is still at 1 "hit point" left. Then the bear taps him for 1 point of "damage", causing him to wake up.]]
103	** In the related game ''Galves' Adventure'', [[spoiler: you must do this with a pebble (and get two wrong combinations) in order to get the Devil ending. By dropping the pebble and making the mouth monster throw it at the lion, it will deal 2 damage, lowering its health from 35 to 33 so that Devil Galves can defeat it in 3 hits.]]
104	* ChekhovsGunman: If the player plays the right way in ''Grow Comeback'', [[spoiler: the child from the intro is revealed to be one of the hero's background supporters who then tries to beat the monster on his own, only to fail. His attempt gives the retired hero the motivation needed to defeat the monster.]]
105	* ChekhovsVolcano: The volcano from ''Grow Island'' doesn't erupt itself, but in the last turn, a creature will come out of it and will pour lava out of its head-tentacle.
106	* ChristmasEpisode: ''Grow Ornament'' is a Christmas-themed game where the goal is to decorate a Christmas tree.
107	* ChromaticArrangement: The "yellow/blue/red" pattern is used in two games.
108	** For the three potions in ''Grow Island''.
109	** For the three Grow books in ''Grow Maze''.
110	* CinderellaPlot: Downplayed. Despite the title, ''Grow Cinderella'' doesn't take many plot elements from the ''Cinderella'' tale, because the appeal of the ''Grow'' games doesn't reside in their story but their art-style and unique gameplay. Notably, there is no indication that Cinderella's evil stepmother and stepsisters even exist in this game.
111	* ColorCodedCharacters:
112	** For Onkies: Men are light yellow, women are light pink, children are orange, and babies are light green. In ''Grow Valley'' and ''Grow Clay'', your engineers are all colour-coded by occupation. In ''Grow Cinderella'', you have a purple chariot driver onky and a brown butler onky.
113	** Tonties' colors seems to depend of their roles in their colonies, for example, the green ones digs the galleries, the red ones takes care of constructions like ladders and elevator, and the yellow ones takes care of anything money related. There are much more colors as seen in [[spoiler: ''Grow Valley'']], ''Grow Park'' and their own eponymous game, but their exact roles aren't known.
114	* CombiningMecha: All the [[spoiler:creatures stick to each others and form a bigger robot-like one in the ending of ''Grow ver.2''.]]
115	* CompanyCrossReferences: On top of all the continuity nods there are in most Grow games, the games also re-use characters and elements from other games made by On.
116	* CoolCar: The car in ''Grow Valley'' [[spoiler: eventually gets redesigned into a dragonfly-like hovercar]].
117	* CoolTrain: The Maglev bullet train in ''Grow Valley''.
118	* ContinuityNod: items and creatures from earlier games frequently show up later in the series.
119	* ConvectionSchmonvection: In ''Grow Island'', a creature from a volcano pours lava which passes through a forest, but the lava doesn't burn the trees. In fact, the forest is necessary to prevent the lava from going too far.
120	* CraniumChase: Sometimes, Onkies lose their heads, resulting in their bodies chasing their heads to put them back on.
121	* {{Cumulonemesis}}: One of the demon's "minions" in ''Grow RPG Sigma'''s second level is a cloud. While it looks like a completely normal cloud at first, it goes in predefined areas and can even attack the hero by raining or snowing on him, meaning it's probably somewhat sentient.
122	* CuteKitten: The ice monster from ''Grow Maze'' turns into one when the Sun Boy place himself in his heart-shaped hole.
123	* {{Cyclops}}: The purple monsters from ''Grow Comeback'' are the only cyclops creatures in the ''Grow'' games that have more facial features than just an eye.
124	* DarkhorseVictory: ''GROW'' Race has the [[spoiler:blue fish on the unicycle that crashed at the beginning take the victory after the red and yellow ones [[ItMakesSenseInContext fly off into space to continue their personal race as rivals rather than continuing the official one.]]]]
125	* DarkIsEvil: The more the Onkies hurts the environment in ''Grow Island'', the darker they get.
126	* DefeatMeansFriendship: The ending of the second level of ''Grow RPG Sigma'' has the hero and the demon giving each others a mutual KO and being healed by the king. Then it looks like the demon is about to punch the hero, but he's actually going for a fist bump. The resulting outcome is a friendship between humans and monsters.
127	* DemBones: You can find a giant skeleton leg in ''Grow Cannon''. Finding the rest of its bones will give it flesh.
128	* DevelopersForesight: ''Grow Island'' and ''Grow Valley'' both have vehicles that always move on the field. If someone tries to cross the road, he will stop and wait for the vehicle to pass, so elements will never collide.
129	* DoubleKnockout: The right combination of ''Grow RPG Sigma'' ends up [[spoiler:with the hero and the demon mutually beating each other up]].
130	* DoubleMeaningTitle: The title of ''Grow Comeback'' refers to the game's plot, which involves a retired hero needing to make a "comeback" to fight a monster one last time. It also references the fact that it came out two years after the previous ''Grow'' game, making ''Grow Comeback'' a "comeback" to the ''Grow'' series.
131	* DragonVarietyPack: There are many different kind of dragons in the grow games:
132	** The 3rd enemy you face in ''Grow RPG'' is a purple dragon with [[FacelessEye a single eye on his face]] and who evolved from a slime, to a cyclop, to what it is.
133	** A path of ''Grow Ver.1'' as you make a eastern black and white dragon with a cubic body.
134	** The secret path of [[spoiler: ''Grow Ver.3'' have a little alien with dragon wings who become a eastern dragon made of fire after eating a plate of food.]]
135	** The lake creature from ''Grow Cannon'' turn into a fat red dragon after eating a fruit at night.
136	* DrinkingOnDuty: Watch the designer closely in ''Grow Valley'' as he works at his desk. He appears to be powered entirely by beer and lollipops, which may explain some of the stranger architectural features in the game.
137	* DropTheWashtub: One of the things used to wake up the sleeping Onky from "Grow Cannon" is water dropped from a washtub, then the washtub itself.
138	* DungeonShop: There is a shop in in the maze ''Grow Maze'' takes place in. Despite the maze being a closed space.
139	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
140	** ''Grow Ver.3'' doesn't really have any objective beside putting every items to level max, nothing special even happens if you win the game beside the "CONGRATULATION !!" message that appear.
141	** ''Grow Ver.3'' is the only game with a score system.
142	** The very first Pierre that appears in the ''Grow'' games series, in ''Grow Ver.3'', has a half dark green and a half purple body, purple horns and no hands. While we do see Pierres with different color variants, the established default appearance for them is is a half pale green and half yellow body with white horns and hands.
143	** ''Grow Ver.3'' and ''Grow RPG'' are the only grow games where you need to drag items on a GROW logo instead of only clicking on it.
144	** ''Grow RPG'' has faceless humans instead of the Onkies who appears for the first time in ''Grow Cube''.
145	** The "level up" sound effect in ''Grow ver.3'' and ''Grow RPG'' is different from later games.
146	* EasterEgg:
147	** ''Grow nano vol.2'' have a combination that shows a code for another game by On called ''Vanilla''.
148	** Some games have a secret ending. They are harder to get because you can't use the objects' level to determine if you are close to it or not.
149	** In ''Grow Maze'' you can see every room from the north angle if you check them on the map with your cursor, looking at the back of the shop will reveal a trash can containing a red hammer, the Tonties' weakness.
150	* ElaborateUndergroundBase: You can construct one in ''Grow Valley''.
151	* EurekaMoment: The designer in ''Grow Valley'' can get up to three, each one gives him a project idea. First he observe the valley, giving him the idea for a road, then he listen to the ground which gives him the idea of making an ElaborateUndergroundBase, lastly he observe the sky and he think about a tower that absorb solar energy.
152	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Most of the time the titles refers to where the game takes place or what you need to build.
153	* FaceHeelTurn: One could consider that [[spoiler: the purple Onky]] does this in the secret ending of ''Grow Cinderella'' as [[spoiler: he steals the magic staff of the fairy godmother after getting a more demonic appearence and go with Cinderella in the place of the Prince]]. The interface even says that [[spoiler: he and all the other objects are "Level Evil"]]
154	* FacelessEye: There are several creatures whose only facial feature is a single eye. The most prominent are the Tonties.
155	* FantasticFlora: Some games contain strange flora.
156	** ''Grow RPG'' has a tree with blue leaves that produces pink bombs.
157	** ''Grow Ver.1'' has a plant which looks like a vegetal jar. Pouring water in it turns it into a glass flower filled with water and containing a fish, while pouring milk in it turns it into a big spherical flower that appears to be made of cow udders.
158	* FantasticFruitsAndVegetables: ''Grow Cannon'' has a spot that you can fire on with the cannon to make a giant berry grow. If the berry grows during daytime, it will be pink and have no effect when eaten. But if the berry grows during night-time, it will be purple and the creature that eats it will turn into a dragon.
159	* FireIceDuo: In the second level of ''Grow RPG Sigma'', you can build two giant horn-shaped structures, one made of ice and one made of magma. Both horns are homes of two elemental creatures fitting the horns' elements.
160	* FissionMailed: [[spoiler:The correct combination for ''Grow Comeback'' has the heart not yet maxed out when the tiles turn over, making it seem like the player got something wrong. Then one of the hero's supporters [[HeroicBystander tries to attack the monster themselves]] but gets beaten up, giving the hero the motivation he needs to fight the monster and maxing out the last item.]]
161	* FlatCharacter: For as much as the experts from ''Grow Valley'' count as characters, the life science expert (the pink Onky) has a really minor role in the game compared to his six partners. All he does is build a hospital with the help of some partners, but it doesn't have any influence on the game's progression and he doesn't help the others on their own projects. The pink Onky only serves to give a bonus turn for everyone else to finish their works.
162	* FlyingSaucer:
163	** Used by the Onky equivalent of the LittleGreenMen in all games where they appears.
164	** Some combinations in ''Grow Park'' can gives you flying saucer in the middle of the park surrounded by kids.
