I know the 5th ending!
When the moon is of the screen wait for it to change size and give it to the guy!

Good game
Endings are good :
- one of them dies
- boy in a boat and girl on a moon
- they fly on a bird
- take them on a boat and when the moon is smaller give it to the boy

Aww, this is cute! I hope there's another one out there like this.
Simple walkthrough for all endings:
- Put boy or girl in the water - Tragic
- Put both on the boat - Lost Love
- Put boy on the smaller moon and back on the boat - Bring Me the Moon
- Put both on the Seagull - Seagull Trip
- Put only the girl on the moon - I am Your Moon
I...think that's all of them?

Sweet (in an older sense of the word)
I enjoyed this very much! It was very nice, in a way I don't think I was meant to understand entirely. As for the reviewer below who called the animation "crappy," I would like to counterpoint with something cartoonist Scott McCloud once said in an illustrated book he'd written on cartooning.
The entire book was narrated by a caricature of Scott, and at one point the caricature abruptly turned into a very well done self-portrait. He drew himself more simply not because he HAD to but because, as he explained, he felt people could relate better to simpler drawings, because with fewer details there was a better chance they could impose their images of themselves onto those characters. In the world of video games, eight-bit sprites are caricatures. Any of us could be the boy on the moon or the girl in the boat.
In a website unfettered by censorship, it's very heartnening to know that there are some people who still default to looking at the nicer parts of being human. Thank you.

Good game.
