There is only one think I don't like. It's the constant hum of flowing water I am able to hear everywhere.
If I were you, I would make the audio source linear and with the range of only 10. Water is heard even when there is no flowing water anywhere, when the pipe is fixed and sprinkler turned off.

I wasn't expecting to like this, but I did. It's short, sweet, and made me smile. The puzzles are pretty good; there were a few times I got stuck and was resorting to trying some pretty silly stuff, until I finally stumbled across the solution. Once I did, though, then I smacked myself, because the solutions were perfectly sensible.
I do agree you should note that spacebar=jump. I was able to figure that out myself, but it should be included in the instructions.
I think music would be a nice addition to this as well.
Altogether, I enjoyed it. Nice work.

-contain spoilers-
I tried to go in a nonlinear way, exploring my minimal abilities before talking to humans. I made some mesh with the cans I can't drop my huge cluster-can-ball into the recycling bin. the humans sprites are too fast making it annoying to see and their hit box too small, punching any part of them should make them talk. I can't go up stairs of the green building, even if I already help the lady, I want to talk with her ):
for other players this game until what I've seen need some tuning and there is some underline sequence of chores even if they use the same abilities. and it got a bit of humor in the dialogues, I mean monologues the player can't speak yet it the point that I stop. it seems that it's Drew's first game here so you can help him with some review :)
I won't vote because this game may be updated but if it wont my vote would be between a 2 and 3 not a huge hit (5) nor "i will vote just because my waste of time/ just to win kongregate points" (1)

Thanks for the feedback! Those are some good points. The small hitboxes on the characters are definitely something I meant to fix, but somehow forgot. You should be able to drop the cans by standing in front of the recycle bin, though. I probably should note somewhere that you can jump with the spacebar, considering you'll need it to complete the game.

Got stuck on the bih holes in the ground, i sprinkled it, puched it, jumped on it and throwed cheese, cheese with bugs, boxes, boxes with weights, and nothing. Still, it;s super game, 5/5
