Nice idea. But I didn't know how to play until I read the comments and instructions. I wish you could put them in the game.

I liked the Idea. But as others said it is not really clear what to do. I also have to press each button roughly 10 times before the game accepts the input. I plantet two trees then ran out of oxygen.
The graphics are very simplistic, but I like the audio it is very fitting.

As I understand it, this was your first Ludum Dare and you ran out of time, so I won't be too harsh on your game. However, I would recommend you simplify your controls for the next time around. It's very awkward to have to first activate an ability with one button, then press another button to pick something up and then a third button to put it down. I would personally have one button to both pick up and plant trees and a second button to water them, with no need to manually switch between the two. That way, the player only has to deal with two buttons to remember instead of five.

Cool concept, there are a little problems could be easily fixed (like press space to start the game without a prompt, or the confusing controllers). Anyway it's cool to see a new "jammer" in the ludum dare, and I hope you join future ones. Good job!

the idea was good -- i liked going to the ocean for saplings but the control mechanism was far too complicated -- or you should have put instructions as the player was playing -- i had no idea i had to press Q to drop the sapling until i read the top of your entry -- thankas for making it

I'm sorry but I couldn't figure out how to correctly play the game.
