This is fantastic. Like that good night mr. snoozleberg but really pretty.

Looks nice, thanks popkinson. I'll have to try this at home later, when I can have the sound on...

Okay, what am I missing? The drawings and music are nice, but I couldn't figure out how to climb the ladder or interact with the bottles of stuff. All I could do is walk back and forth between the two screens. That can't be it, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

After I turned the water green (push the spacebar at the valves) and the bubble guy floats off, what happens then?

chillmost: you'll need to turn the water off altogether

Everything about that was charming. Thanks very much for the post.

I got stuck! At the part where there's a little white bloop that grows into a flower/balloon(?) when you walk away from it. I tried moving my arm at the thing to the right, but at the same time I kept walking to the right. Eventually the background slowly moved away to reveal nothingness, just blank white background. Now I try to move back to the game and I can't. I'm stuck in the white abyss...

Yikes, I clicked at work and was blessed with popups and a porn warning. WTF?

I got stuck!

You've discovered a bug. Restart the game.

The instructions don't mention that you can run. I won't tell you how, but it solves your problem...

The music is greatness.

The whole story is about one guy's commute to work, right?

Yeah, I went back and played it again and got past that part. I know it was a bug, but it was kind of funny getting stuck in nothingness. I could still move around like normal, there just wasn't a background anymore.

Lovely game, but gameplay is so buggy! The first time I got an endlessly repeating loop of a guy falling through a tube, the second time I discovered ChestnutMonkey's bug. Bummer, I was loving the drawings and music.
