Sortof addictive 'game' that isn't a game.
Took a long time to load, plus a fun elephant to watch as it loads.

I thought it was kind of cool when my kids were playing with it a couple of days ago. There's not much there though. On the other hand, there's a new(ish) Eyemaze game!

The bizarre transitions remind me very much of Terry Gilliam’s brilliant animations in Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Dammit, now I have to try every possible combination to see what they each lead to.

this reminds of panic! on the sega cd with a less humorous writer but a more technical visual artist.

spoiler warning ahoy!
seed flower pot -> seed grows fertilizer -> plant becomes venus fly trap fly -> fly eats venus fly trap fly swatter -> fly breaks into multiple flies skull -> fly plays hamlet, "alas poor yorick" scene thumbs down -> audience boos and throws tomatoes, curtain goes down, raises again on seed seed thumbs up -> applause, photographs, confetti, scene turns into a photograph and then fades to seed seed ghost -> flies perform seance, summon ghost seed, magnet on string attracts flies and takes them away seed dung -> dung falls to ground, covered with whip cream and a cherry, fly celebrates cucumber -> fly covers face with whip cream, cucumbers over eyes and boots away dung pile loaf of bread -> more cucumbers are attacted to fly along with tomatoes and bread, fly sandwich disappears bite by bite, seed remains seed pile of stuff -> fly lies down, gets massage from hand icons which finally fold fly down into a seed seed cherry -> fly eats up dung pile, seed remains seed spider -> spider comes down on thread, cocoons venus fly trap broccoli -> ticking sound followed by rubber ducky popping out of cocoon cukoo-clock style, broccoli florets to come marching up pencil tip -> brocollis push over cocoon to baby sounds (?), cocoon splits into sections and is eaten up sushi-style by pencils used as chopsticks, leaving seed seed eraser tip -> brocollis hold up cocoon, eraser comes in from the side and erases cocoon middle, leaving a ring held up by brocolli birthday cake -> red ring appears on the floor, brocolli's jump through ring and pop out of cocoon ring, portal-style, finally a seed jumps in from off screen through the cocoon ring and out the red floor ring leaving seed seed flame -> brocollis leave behind cocoon ring, revealing that it is now supported by a metal bar, ring catches fire, brocollis leave for offscreen and bring back stunt ramp, then push out a rubber ducky with fireworks rockets attached to the sides. when the rockets ignite the ducky launches straight up and completely misses the ring, then falls back down as the seed seed ice cream -> various sweets suspended on strings drop down from above cocoon opens to reveal mouth, lips, teeth, and tounge, smiling. dracula teeth -> mouth morphs into dracula teeth, all sweets are attracted into mouth which chomps them down in a bloody mess, releasing bats and drops of blood, one final drop of blood morphs into the seed seed regular teeth -> sweets morph into teeth, which fall to ground and converge on cocoon and lift it up dental tools then appear and work on mouth, which then eats the tools, teeth then carry cocoon off screen except for extractor tool which pulls a tooth from the mouth which falls to the ground and turns into the seed seed watering can -> watering can waters the plant which turns into a rose bowling ball -> bowling ball falls from above and crushes plant and flower pot happy face -> bowling ball rotates finger holes away, paint brush comes and paints a happy face on bowling ball brain -> top of bowling ball cracks, as if hatching, pops off, revealing brain mushroom -> super mario bros. question mark mushroom box appears above bowling ball which jumps up, hits box, causing a mushroom to emerge, converge on the bowling ball, which morphs back into the seed seed serving platter cover -> a table with tablecloth, a covered serving platter, and a flower in a vase is pushed out next to the bowling ball smiley face brain by a fish in a tuxedo. The fish lifts the cover to reveal a cherry which it lifts up and holds above the brain and then drops, while the brain's hemispheres separate and devour the cherry like a mouth (its starting to get to me now) top hat -> top hat falls on smiley face bowling ball apple -> apple falls from above obscuring bowling ball's smiley face, making a scene similar to Magritte's "The Son Of Man", apple-face painting. Hooked canes then pull away bowling ball and apple leaving hat, which is then tipped and pulled away leaving the seed seed pumpkin -> top hat flips off bowling ball, and from hat emerges a rabbit wielding a carrot like a magic wand. The rabbit waves the wand at the bowling ball which turns into a jack-o-lantern. The rabbit then levitates the top of the jack-o-lantern above it, levitates itself into the opening. jack-o-lantern top then falls back on top, and the jack-o-lantern face begins to glow brighter until the jack-o-lantern explodes and, as the smoke clears, the seed is revealed. seed circle with empty rectangular region inside -> bowling ball rotates so that finger holes are faced away, a tv screen then emerges on teh front of the bowling ball, showing static, and two antenna emerge from the top remote control -> a remote appears oh no, at this point I realize that when I hover over the bowling ball it is interactive! arrrgh! what about the rest of teh scenes???!? oh well, I will forge ahead a remote appears, turns on the bowling ball tv, which is showing a pile of dung. A swarm of flies appears, flies towards the set and into the scene, they try to pick up the dung but run into the top of the bowling ball tv, they try again and the bowling ball tv flies away straight up. The seed falls from above seed popcorn box -> an arc appears across the antennas of the bowling ball tv, which then pops into a piece of popcorn. The popcorn piece is then devoured bite-by-bite, leaving the seed. seed filing box -> a filing box with its bottom open falls over the rose plant, it then folds itself close around the bottom of the plant marker -> markers appear and draw a home scene on the outside of the box beehive -> a beehive descends from above to hover over the box gear -> the top of the box opens revealing the elephant in the hamster wheel, trudging along, the beehive opens up to reveal some clockwork mechanisms. The elephant then rises into the beehive and begins driving the mechanisms, while the beehive closes around it. The entire assembly then falls into the box. from the top of the beehive emerges a wind-up key, rotating like helicopter blades. The beehive-box assembly then flies away, leaving a swarm of bees behind, one of which is wearing a "star antenna" headband. The bees leave behind the seed and then fly away. seed wrecking ball -> the beehive smashes down on the box, bursting it open, revealing the seed lounging in a tub. Three bees emerge from the hive. One jumps into the tub with the seed and splashes around while the other two bees sit at the sides of the tub. When the splashy bee flies out of the tub it carries the seed with it. The other two bees then carry the tub away and the splashy bee drops the seed on the flattened box. Then all three bees return to carry away the flattened box, which the seed rolls of off, leaving the seed seed bear -> a crocheted teddy bear walks up to the box and bangs on the top heart -> the bear hugs the box and rainbows and floating hearts fill the scene. A heart-shaped frame shrinks on to the screen, then encloses the entire scene, shrinking to nothing. When it disappears in teh center the seed falls from it seed broken heart -> the bear becomes angry and smashes in the top of the box, partially crushing it. The bear then jumps on top of the box (which still looks like a house). A helicopter, much smaller than the bear flies by. The bear's eyes grow angrily, and then vaporizes the helicopter in a death ray. The bear then jumps down and vaporizes the box then bounds off screen. As teh cinders of the box dissipate the seed is revealed seed scissors -> scissors come and cut open the box, and the rose plant pops back out along with a giant twitching nose on three stick-like legs droplets -> The nose bends over the flower, flares its nostrils, and out of it comes a torrent of fluid. The bottom of the box becomes dark, and the flower begins to grow huge, with a fat, thorn stem. The scene pans upward to view the flower blossom, revealing that the elephant in the hamster wheel has emerged from the center of the blossom. The entire scene then crumples like paper and when the crumpled paper wad shrinks to near nothingness it becomes the seed and falls to the ground seed swirling downward breezes -> the nose bends over the flower, inhales deeply, sucking the entire flower up into its nostrils, it then contentedly collapses into the box where it exhales deeply, blowing out flower petals which swirl and sweep away the scene, except one last petal which deposits the seed on the ground seed bird -> I don't have the strength to do the bird path now.posted by Reverend John at 9:01 PM on March 28, 2011 [5 favorites]
