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.

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!
