Quest for the Blue Potato (http://www.dswebdevelopment.com/games/bluepotatoquest/)
Bekah (main char) is off to meet her friend Doctor Oakroot for lunch, but finds him slumped over his desk with a poison dart in his neck. Following a note Doc wrote just before losing consciousness, she sets out to find a blue potato - to use to draw out the poison - in an underworld adventure involving time travel, talking plants and animals, and even a linguistically challenged flying pig.

I'll now be a sport and add what you should have added yourself.

Ehm, the pixel hunting at the gate with those colored, eh bells? is annoying.
It may be one thing to figure out how it works, but I don't want to search for the random 1x1 pixel spot to press them.
On the positive side, the game seems to have an unusual fast pace.
Please, for heaven's sake, redo that banner and save it as a .png file! The ".jpeg-stain" makes me want to tear out my eyes. Even more than usually.
... boy, I sure say this a lot.

Well, it's bigger than 1x1, but I agree it's annoying. I thought about making the hand cursor smaller so it's easier to see whether you're in the right place. Or maybe I should use hotspots? I may play with it some more.
Thanks.

What's a jpeg-stain? Do all browsers support png now? I try not to do things that aren't pretty universally supported on my websites.
".jpeg stain" is my personally made-up expression for "ugliness caused by lossy comprimation" ;)
I think all browsers should support .png by now. At least, Firefox does and IE should, too.
Isn't png lossy too? IAC, the banner is a modified screen shot from the closing credits of the game - it's not such high quality to start with.
PNG is lossless, which is I spend at least 30% of my time online with telling people to use it ;)
Some players on another site found some bugs. They've been fixed and a new version (same name and site) are available.
The bugs:
Spoiler
1. Going back out through the gate too quickly after getting into the yard casued a fatal music queuing error.
2. Trying to go back out through the gate after the gate re-locks caused the game to hang.
The game can be completed without ever doing the things that cause the bugs, so it's not actually necessary to re-download if you're already playing.
