Well only one word : Perfect ! and really funny conversation and situation, concept is perfect, everything, i like it, i love it!
HAHAHA! Well, after getting stuck at the "Uhhhhh" part because I didn't realize you had to press enter (wasn't very clear tbf), that was definitely one of the funniest games I've played recently and one of the best in the jam for sure. I mean, the fact that I attempted to come back to the game multiple times when I couldn't figure out how to get in shows that you had a great concept and great art. I think the small colour palette really serves the minimalist art which is really intriguing. What would be cool is if your girlfriend's facial expression changed as she gets more angry with you. On top of this, the writing really carries the game and, as others have said, the platforming is not super tight (but its passable). It's the writing which motivates you to get all of the coins and figure out what stupid thing Harry will say next. The idea is so good I might just steal it because I find the concept quite inspiring. Watch out! But seriously, awesome job.
Only game I have managed to give full marks to BTW so far in the jam.
I appreciate you pushin' through, and thanks for all the kind words! Good idea to add an extra prompt before the first level, I've heard that from a few folks...will probably roll that into the next update while I'm smoothin' out the last few lil bugs. Facial expressions were on deck but were sacrificed at the last minute for time, but hoping to expand all that stuff and add some more personality and movement if/when I flesh it out!
I really enjoyed the minimalist atmosphere of this game. It's style is really simple but it oozes charm, so although I was a little disappointed that it was pretty short, I loved what I got. I would definitely want to see the idea expanded upon one day. Dialogue was really funny, the platforming was pretty solid, and the palette was nice too. Great job on this!
Clever and funny! I like how the puzzles even look like brains. I wish that hitting space would complete a sentence instead of skipping them, as I skipped a lot trying to read faster. Great work!
Great game, lots of fun! The dialogue was so clever and the music was a perfect fit. Great job!
lovely game, platforming is just slightly jankey, but the charm more then makes up for it.
Great game. Love the dialogue and style of the game.
Decided to use MaxTheCoder 's bug find to speedrun for the fun of it.
Very good concept
Love the aesthetic and writing. Awesome concept great execution!
Great idea and well executed! I liked the music and gameplay was smooth most of the time. The only bug I encountered spawned another player and cleared the text area every time I pressed "Enter" before finding all spheres.
Just patched that bug, thanks for the heads up!
No problem :)
Really good story and idea.
I absolutely loved just about everything about this game, the colours you picked really seem to suit the game! It would be nice to have the option to just complete the sentence and not skip dialogue completely, but that is my only complaint. Great job!!!
Platforming with weird collisions and almost infuriating level design saved by the sheer silliness of the situation. Enjoyed!
Frankly, I set up my player character in a weird way, which is what was causing the weird collisions. Still not perfect, but I just uploaded an update that smooths out most of the collision issues (I think?). The level design, well...that's a whole 'nother ball game! Appreciate you taking the time to play!
Love the color scheme, music, and art style. The writing also works very well for the theme.
Unfortunately, I was unable to reach the last pickup (inside the chin). No matter how I struggle, I just can't make that jump.
Also, there was an odd bug: I found that pressing the A and D keys triggers the walk animation, even though the character doesn't actually move.
Fixed that A/D bug in the latest update, thanks for catching that! Also fixed some of the jankiness with the platforming to catch that place you got stuck, hopefully! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for playing.
The character gets a little buggy with walls and platforms sometime but other than that, the game is basically flawless, really cool graphics, fun writing and ending, original concept, and great execution overall, the game just lacks an original gameplay mecanic.
nice, short, and fun game! i like the ending :)
Nice one 👌This answers the question "Have you ever looked at someone and wondered what goes on inside their head?"
Yo’ Very fun game, the visuals are great, the dialogue is fun, and the gameplay overall is nice (for some reason it kinda gave me the feeling that the conversation could go differently if I picked one sphere over another) although the platforming was kinda of awkward at moments
This is amazing! The dialouge is super funny, and it made me laugh all the time! The platforming sections are a little rough, but the game makes up for it in the dialouge section.
I love the concept and the simplistic design but the gameplay side is a bit rough.
Yeahhh...first time making platform bits, so I’ve got some things to improve upon if I flesh this out further. Appreciate you playing!
