I tried planting, but I couldn't tell what I was holding, or if anything got planted.  Usually I'd just see either nothing, or an apple drop on the ground.  Once I saw a tree grow after a few seconds, but that was a surprise since I hadn't seen anything happen when I tried to interact with the tilled ground.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>None of my attacks seemed to have any effect.  Not sure if I wasn't close enough, or just needed to attack more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And the controls had some glitches.  For example, if I was holding both W and D and therefore moving up and to the right, and then I released W, I would continue moving diagonally, instead of heading directly to the right.  This made it hard for me to feel like I was confidently in control of the avatar."},{"author_name":"mantis","author_uid":"779","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:01pm","epoch":1429631760,"text":"I like the idea, but once I kill all the animals nothing seems to be happening.

You can play around, planting trees and stuff.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Andy Gainey: you had to select a slot from your inventory using one of the numbers on your keyboard, until you got the seeds. With the update, you can see your inventory. \r<br\/>You need to attack more.
