The interface is very frustrating to use. You should have used a hud.
The game in overall is kind of boring.. maybe it is supposed to be as it is a growing game.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD34 → Bud the Gardener

Played for a little while and didn't find the ending, but it's kinda fun in a time-passing sort of way. The controls are pretty annoying - you have to click five times to move to the square next to you and plant a seed. Would have been better if you'd left out "move" and had left clicking move move your character to the square you clicked and perform the action on it.
Noticed a few bugs. Sometimes when you place dirt your dirt count goes into the negatives, and sometimes you get a bunch of seeds for no apparent reason.
Thank you for your inputs. You'll collect seeds when wet, including raining. You can also move and quickly select use to plant rows of seeds, for those who want to complete it faster.
I was fumbling with the controls for a few minutes but eventually got the hang of it. I also did something weird with the two button controls, so I can't complain. Just takes some practice and getting-used-to! :P
Anyway, I think I kind of screwed myself over by planting grass on all the tiles I had, and it seems the spade can't dig those up, so I was unable to acquire more dirt to expand, if that's how it works? WHOOPS!
But you've got a lot of cool mechanics going on here, especially for a first LD--and a compo entry, at that! Nice job!
It's a nice little idea, only navigating the interface really feels cumbersome. What would've helped would be an icon of the currently selected item outside the yard instead of hovering over the gardener.
I don't quite get it. What is the goal? Enjoyed the rain :)
Not sure what was happening - i managed to get 7 seeds but I didnt see any plants, maybe I was doing it wrong.
Hard to use the controls, but I like the idea. I really liked the sound of the guy moving around.
