You have developed the mechanics in a original way! I hope the giraffe at the end of the game doesn't have a stiff neck ahaha

Loved it, the music, art and gameplay all meshed together so well to create a fun little experience. Loved the little face he gets when near food and of course, everything is always better with giraffes! :)

Great game,  I played it all the way through!

Getting over it but you get a giraffe with a super strong neck. Very bizarre, I like.

That was a cute and fun albeit challenging game! The game reminds me of "Deepest Sword."

This is the most creative use of a girrafe's neck in a game I've ever seen! There was a moment after getting the first two bananas where I was like, "Okay, now what?" but when I figured it out I was like, ":OOO" and felt like I'd discovered an exploit XD Speaking of which, I love how the level teaches you techniques that aren't explicitly mentioned in the basic controls. The music is great, as is the cartoony art style. The little story at the beginning was a nice touch. Loved the background and walking animation as well.

I didn't manage to get to the end because of time, but I definitely wanted to keep playing. Fantastic work!
