Description Sometimes it takes a friend to show you the way.
(Click a bubble to start the game)
Here are some tips / instructions:
  • Derpy will follow the bubbles that you control, but only if they are in her direct line of sight (Derpy will literally brighten up when she sees them).

  • You can make Derpy run by pressing and holding the left mouse button to increases the bubble's power, but do it for too long and the main bubble will pop. It recharges after a while, but in the meantime it casts no light so Derpy won't see it.

  • Amount of smaller bubbles = amount of lives.

  • Derpy will get bored if you stay in one place for too long; same if she doesn't see the bubbles.

  • Derpy will not walk into any harm on her own.

WARNING! The game requires powerful CPU so if you can't play it, here is a complete walkthrough: [link]
UPDATE 22.09.2012: The site-lock has been removed so the game can be played offline now. If SWF file won't work alternatively an EXE file is available here: [link]
People that made this game at least 20% cooler:
  • Forest Rain by composing awesome music and SFX for cutscenes.

  • Decibelle by lending her wonderful voice to Derpy

  • Resonant Waves [link] by allowing me to use the lovely "Luna's Palace" and "The Temple of Rain" tracks.

  • PonyVisation [link] by allowing me to use the great "Everfree Shadows" track.

  • And of course, special thanks to RizCifra for creating the inspiring "We Are Pilots".

I believe this game serves as the perfect metaphor for Derpy; Patience is a key element in playing the game as you have to be patient learning the controls and mechanics but also with Derpy as she doesn't follow the exact speed of your cursor; likewise one must also be patient with Derpy [or a like character] in real life, and as you mentioned 'Derpy will not walk into any harm on her own' meaning that she is not entirely to blame if she walks into harm's way; if we hurt her through our impatience, we also hurt ourselves the same way, just like how  a bubble pops each time she gets hurt or scared. 

Then there are the Bubbles; Derpy is alone in a dense forest at night, the bubbles her only light in the darkness and guide to safety. They are the most pleasant and and innocent thing she sees the entire game. But the Bubbles are also the cursor, meaning WE in turn are her light in the darkness and guide to safety. Again this applies in real life scenarios as many in Derpy's own condition and to an extent even those outside it;

To those who are lost in a deep metaphorical forest, there are those to them who are their lights in the darkness and guides to safety, those who are seen as the only pleasant and innocent things in the metaphorical forest of darkness. And if we fail, if we lose our patience, become careless, fail those who trust us deeply... then they have nothing, they run away, and we pop, just like the last bubble.

Yes! That is exactly it!
Derpy's Story is built to test your patience in a specific way. Your companion in this journey has a mind of her own, and you can either take time to understand how she behaves and work together toward your common goal, or rush in with your assumptions trying to complete your own objectives - only one of these guaranties a happy end. Friendship is never about only you or me, but us, together.

Also, I want to clarify: "Derpy will never get hurt on her own" means exactly what it says. Derpy might decide on trying to find the path on her own, when she doesn't see the bubbles or when they don't move for too long, and when she does, she will never walk into harms way on her own.

Thank you for your comment, I would never expect something like this on DA.
No doubt a breath of fresh air after all those emoticons spams I usually get in comments
