He is running too fast and not giving me a chance to press the buttons at all!

Relax and focus more, pal :)
Please add Medals! Before I played the game, I knew I was going to write that in my review, so Im happy to see you wrote it in the description. When I first read it and saw there were different endings, I almost expected it.
Its a great idea and looks great, music is okay. My problem is, its pretty difficult.
Im clicking the arrows and the response time is so quick on the boyfriends end that I always lose. I hope you make it a little easier cause I would love to play more and get farther into the game.
Harlemblack responds:
Yeah I just realized one or two things about medal systems in Newgrounds. Thank you for mentioning it :)
Pretty nice game. The 8-bit style is cute, the music and sprites are all on point I think. The story is pretty minimalist, he cheated and she's upset; but it's pretty relatable, too. And breaking up with someone who cheated on you IS pretty difficult, so I'm glad the game wasn't an immediate win. The amount of challenge was appropriate, I thought.
One thing, though: I won the street level on the first try, lost only once on the rooftop and dock levels; but the graveyard, things really spiked in difficulty. Like, disproportionally so. Maybe it was just that I had played the first three already and I was worn out...? I really don't think so though. I spent a good five or ten minutes just on that last level, which I'm okay with; the challenge made the game more fun, more satisfying when you finally break up with him. It was just kind of a sudden jump, could have been eased into more easily, and the suddenness is all that keeps it from getting a perfect score.
All in all, really nice work! I'm glad you uploaded this and hope to see another game from you soon. 4.5 stars and a sub, all well-earned. :)
Harlemblack responds:
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Yea I need more practice to make better story. I'll do better in my next game :)
The guy has NO idea of how to run. Problems: I pressed the correct key BUT HE GOT ME ANYWAYS, doesn't say start so beginning is kinda unexpected and hard to avoid, and at beginning the arrow key just shows up when he's like close to you, and the girl is just SO sensitive, SHE KNOWS HE'S CHEATING. Lol just so mad because I don't have enough time and when I hit the arrow key it didn't work. It's a good game. BUT JUST SO FRUSTRATING. AND WHY DOESN'T SHE PUSH HIM WHILE HE TALKS. I'm making this review during the graveyard round. ARROW KEY APPEARS TOO LATE I GOT NO TIMEE this game is making me so mad. * reads description * WHY DIDN'T YOU ADD THE MEDALS FIRST? NOW WHEN MEDALS COME, I WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING. Well fuck. Btw troll face is white. I think what I'm saying is that this is just too difficult. WHY DOES SHE RUN AWAY. Oh geez sorry for all of the criticism. Rooftop scenario, WHERE DID THE BALLOON COME FROM. Worst part is that you can't switch, once you push a arrow key, IT'S PERMANENT. It would probably be easier if scenarios were numbered. I did the first one then went down, which was the first reversed one. THEN EVERYTHING WAS HARDER BECAUSE MY BRAIN WAS LIKE, " huh? " Oh gosh when will this review end. IF I HAD A CHOICE TO PLAY THIS GAME FOR INFINITE MONEY AND FOOD AND WORLD PEACE THEN I WOULDN'T. EVEN IF IT MEANS BEING THE MOST HATED PERSON ON EARTH. I can't wait for other reviews talking about my rage. FINALLY I BEATED THE SCENARIO. STAY IN THAT GRAVE BITCH. MOMENT OF TRUTH, EPILOG! Isn't it spelled epilogue? You had space for graveyard then you would had space for that. :/ Watches at start: NOO YOU STILL FALL FOR HIM? WORST ENDING EVER! During the epilog: JUMP JUMP JUMP. At the end: Nothing? ... I WASTED MY LIFE ON THIS. ( originally 2.5 stars )
Harlemblack responds:
Thank you for the direct, provocative criticism. You pointed out things that I missed before. Once again, thank you.
I'd like to respond some of your statements below.
AND WHY DOESN'T SHE PUSH HIM WHILE HE TALKS
- His talking is very seductive that she is being indecisive about whether to dump him or forgive him, lol.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ADD THE MEDALS FIRST?
At first, I though I could only add medals after the submission was approved. Then I was wrong about it. Thank you for making me realize this.
Arrow Key is Permanent
Yes. The engine locks your first press, so cannot be switched.
NOO YOU STILL FALL FOR HIM? WORST ENDING EVER!
It's a girl story, man. Always beyond our expectations. LOL
