I've made numerous crates, and have so far as of yet been unable to actually get them open. I might be missing something there, but otherwise, I was quite alright with that. It seems I've gotten the hang of growing trees.
I played it without sound some hours ago, and came back to be sure this game is perfect. It is ^^
But this is hard too...I only discoverd how to trees, special trees, make crates and chests...YET!

I would play a longer game on this concept (but not too long, not a minecraft/terraria thing, the exact same game on this tiny island, but with a lot more materials to find and things to do)
Nice graphics and sound, too.
Very creative gameplay.

Great sounds, too!
I grew two types of trees but that's about it. I absolutely cant fathom how to make crates or anything out of stone or wood. A walkthrough or some hints somewhere would be appreciated
A few small hints would be awesome... although I don't think Alchemy had any hints so... whatevs.
Good job, dude!
I'm not sure if there was a goal, but even *without* a goal this was incredibly fun. You seriously need to develop this further. I can totally this being an incredibly awesome game.
Maybe something like creating shapes and sharing your creation. Or imagine how awesome it would be for two people to building something simultanously.
The water acts oddly though, the rain flooded an area I had made between a rock and an empty jar... the water couldn't flow around the jar? It destroyed a seed I had planted :(
Some things are really hard to figure out though.
It lacks some more content but well done for a 48 hours entry.
Reminds me of my entry "Bunnies back into your cage", but you improved some things I didn't solve that smothely (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srfwlTqbwLs).
One of my favorites no doubt. Congrats!
Sincerely great job :D
It gets to be pretty frustrating, though. The appearance of water appears to be completely arbitrary. I couldn't get one to appear for a long time, then suddenly I had half a dozen in places I didn't expect. Also, I couldn't get the sky tree to grow. I figured I might need to move the clouds down, but it took too long and all my clouds vanished. Since I hadn't seen it rain for three or four "days", I figured it wasn't ever going to rain again, so I quit.
Why not a dinosaur? :D
Honestly? Because that's what I could manage as a recognizable silhouette in 8x8 pixels. ^^;
(I managed to plant a tree, collect water and make clouds on my own, but read the guide for the rest)
