Grow games rule. Even Grow games that we don’t completely understand and aren’t convinced how good they are rule because they’re Grow games. Life Ark, then, also rules.

While it’s not nearly as intuitive as the Eyezmaze games that obviously inspired it, The Life Ark is still a pretty diverting way to waste your lunchtime. In Life Ark there’s a huge barren wasteland that you have to bring life to by clicking various objects in a certain order until a big rainbow comes down and makes flowers and dinosaurs and giraffes, pretty much in the same way God did all those years ago. It might seem infuriating at first, but once you’ve got the measure of it, you’ll find The Life Ark most satisfying.
