it's like they're playing a different game. Then I realize most of the game must have been cut.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this game, I couldn't. The character respawns in the same spot that he died each and every time. This means that when you touch that dog, for example, he's gonna respawn right there where that dog is each time and keep dying. There's nothing you can do about it besides resetting the game when that happens. I hope you fix that little bug.

Well, I went through the first level that had you just get water. I then promptly died and I kept coming back and then dying again because I could not even move and the sun beams kept killing me. I then simply refreshed the page and tried the whole thing again. Now, I was at the boss level for no reason and eventually won. I have no clue what happened, but I got the 25 pt medal so I am glad I got where I did! The animation was neat and it was fun because the controls were so easy and the premise simple.

Hooray! You got the medal fixed!

Walkthrough: (warning: possible spoilers ahead.)
Level 1: Just go to the end, and stand under the tree to lower your sun meter.
Level 2: Drink the water bottle (only works once) and stand in front of the air conditioner to decrease sun meter. Go to the end.
Level 3: Stand on sprinkler, then go to the end.
Level 4: The old man will try to push you around, go past him. Use the air conditioner if you need to.
Level 5: The dog will make your sun meter go up an enormous amount while he touches you, so don't let that happen.
Level 6: Uh, oh.. some girls are getting tans outside. Quit ogling their bikinis and hide behind the objects in the yard to avoid touching the heat rays. If you touch one, it's instant death.
Boss battle part 1: As the scene opens, you're chasing the ice cream truck on a "borrowed" skateboard. The previous owner isn't too happy, though, and speeds ahead of you on a bike. Your sun meter is gone, replaced with two bars. The green one is your health, and the blue one is your water. Press the A key to fire a stream of water at the punk. This decreases his health, the red meter at the top of the screen. Refill your water meter by rolling over water bottles and puddles on the road. Avoid the rocks the punk throws at you.
Boss battle part 2: After the punk takes enough damage (water can hurt someone? lol) his body catches on fire and he dosn't throw rocks, instead hurling fireballs at you with annoying accuracy. Just keep squirting him until he dies.
Congraduration! This story is happy end!

I was hoping it'd be a sort of, item-chain game like some of your other collaborative efforts such as Magic Pink Man, but I enjoy this just the same, especially when the boy on the bike bursts into flames :P
