This game is about completing the boards using zen garden tools: a rake, water, and sand.
I had a lot of fun building this platformer! The hero can drop sand and water to alter the level.

Controls:
Arrow move
[Space] Jump
[C] Attack
[X] Drop Sand, which can be a platform
[Z] Drop Water, which will weigh down the sand

Enjoy the game!

Very odd game. What was the point of the water? To make the sand go away faster?

Odd is usually my Ludum Dare style. Thanks for commenting, I shall take it as a compliment.
The water is to flush out sand completely.

I like the games where you're left thinking.. what.. was... :)

Thanks. Really liked the style.

nice player sprites, but keep gettin stuck in the sand(water doesnt really help)

I like the idea of the game but it's not executed particularly well - there doesn't seem to be much reason to have the water and the sand is only a little bit useful. There are a few collision bugs and the game is kinda boring. However I like the character designs - particularly the images when you get hurt and well done for making your own audio.
