you don’t mention the further growth of the pipe: once in lake (level up green mountain), the pipe area can level up 2 more times: surrounded by trees, then a lily grows out of the pipe.
also, the block robot needs the full ladder (blue guy comes down) and then level up again to combine with the blue guy.
if the balls are sucked into the tornado, they can be leveled up to a bird thing made of three balls.
it’s a lot more complex than it looks.

it does get you thinking… though I must say, things aren’t always as they seem- I’ve seen the egg mature in -much- less thab 8 steps, more around 3 or 4 steps, though this pattern is not the correct as the other elements then suffer

There is definitely more than one solution to this – I’ve got the egg to max in eight steps. Perhaps there is an interaction with the egg and another element that allows it to grow faster. I don’t think this puzzle is as simple as just getting the number of steps right!
Sure gets you hooked – be interesting to read an analysis of that…

re: the sunflower – Yes, I figured that out sometime last night and haven’t gotten around to correcting it.

“The yellow sphere and the egg don’t interact with anything.”
I agree as far as the egg is concerned, but it seemed to me that what you refer to as the yellow sphere/sunflower actually functioned as a sun, necessary to the mountain after the rains. Or perhaps I just imagined that, making up my own story.
