Grow Part 1

I am addicted to the Grow games, particularly the Grow RPG. I really like the cartoon graphics and animation and I am excited about the possiblities for flash based games. I think what is appealing about the game is its simpicity - yet there clearly is a strategy to win the game by defeating the dragon which hovers above this planet. What hooked me in was the interplay between the each elements - what you pick and when determines what 'grows' in the game, and hence, how far the hero advances in the quest. I have not beat it yet, but I assume that there is one set sequence that will win the game. I found myself constantly revising my strategies as to what would be the most appropriate element to drop into the world at a paricular time. I was slightly tempted to look up a 'cheat' for the game - which sequence would win - but I know that this would just take all the satisfaction out of actually beating it myself.
