This looks totally bonkers, and I already love the dog following Goby around. Will definitely play it when I get a chance.

Just finished playing it, and the absurdity made me smile the whole way through. I love Mallory. I love the worm in the desert.

I like the snowglobe smashing and random bi-flag trading. I both love and hate the "kissing bridge."

Overall, it was a surreal and strange way to spend 20 minutes. I'm not sure exactly what I just experienced, but I enjoyed it.

I did find a few possible bugs:

Spoiler

In the first room, it is possible to walk up onto the dresser or bed and get stuck there. I had to restart the game because I couldn't get down.

After you open the treasure chest, if you click on it again, Goby still says "I need a key."

The minifig's arms on the fish hook seem very difficult to click on, enough that I thought you couldn't click on them at first. But I might have been confused by what was arms and what was hook, so others might not have that issue.

Movement by left-clicking the mouse is possible in addition to using the WASD keys. Is mouse-based movement intentional? In any case, leaving the esophagus by this method is not possible as the inventory window popping down blocks the exit. The W key works to get past it, though.

EDIT:

Spoiler

I also love when the music starts going "Goby goby goby." Made me laugh a lot.

The walkable areas are kind of weird. I can walk on the bed side table. Haven't finished the game yet, seems cool so far.

Yes, the walkable areas in the first room are a bit strange to accommodate for the animation of Goby smoking the cigarettes.

Thanks for pointing out the other things. I'm glad you enjoyed how bizarre it was :0)
