Well, I found this flash-game (Problem), and tried to get every part to the maximal level.
But only got 11500 points and got everything to the max, exept the egg. And 13900 points, with only the robot left
Anybody can solve the problem ?

What is the idea, and the logic?

Well, you drag the materials into the blob or planet or robot or whatever, and things grow on it. Each thing that grows affects certain other objects. You need to put them in the right order to get the maximum score.

You simply have to drop the items in the center of the sphere. These things will evolve every time you get something new on the center. But every thing needs more or less time to evolve to the maximum, so you have to choose the right order.
And if you get some wrong orders, then it will evolve differently : I noticed the mountains can turn green or into a volcano.
Good luck

I can drag and drop all night, but there is no goal (in English, at any rate), and no obvious logic. A box, a ladder and a propellor are meaningless, they don't appear in the book of Genesis, or Darwin's theory of evolution as far as I remember.

There is logic, and goal. Everything makes sense in a surreal way. This is the best flash game that I have ever played! It's brilliant! I've got almost everything now! 11500 points! I didn't get the egg right. I like the logic, I could explain all of the objects, and their purpose, but it would give things away.

Interesting, but it would be far more so if it was based on some sense of reality.

I wonder if there is more than one ending, because I saw the little yellow alien in the tornado with a lava-lake instead of a normal lake.

I guess I just don't see the logic - How about you do give it away?

Here is the solution to get everything to the maximum :


But try it in the opposite order and you will see the lava-lake and the alien in the tornado

Well, parts of the logic :
the tube sends out clouds to let te mountains evolve
The wind-mill can chase the clouds away, so it shall not be there too soon
the satelitte connects to the screen
...

The tube draws water from the ground. If the mountains are high enough, the water will evapourate to produce clouds. The clouds cause rain, the rain creates a river, the river produces greenery, if the sun is fully built. The propeller generates electricity like a windmill. It could blow away the clouds, and ruin one of your projects. The weather vane can add power to your weather effects, and can swing the twister into position. The twister can boost the windmill power because it is a high wind, and boost your electric supply. This can turn on the TV set if your sattelite dish is finished. The cube is the first robot part, and it works with the ladder which brings down a spirit who can bring the robot to life, but the robot has no AI without a working television to give it information. The egg is just another life form which has to evolve. Life is the aim of the game. The game is about Earth, it's weather, its orbit, and its intelligent lifeforms.

the sun cant be complete before the pipe because the pipe creates the steam that forms clouds which rain on the mountains to create rivers that makes the lake that creates plantlife.
also The propeller must be strong enough by the time the tornado is on the move to withstand its force.

thats the bits i remember anyway

Still dosen't make any sense when it comes to how things really came to be or grew, though, but the obvious connections between the objects do exist.

Speaking of connections, it reminds me of that game based on the TV show...
