This game deserves more reviews!!
Ok, at this when I saw the washing machines I thought you lacked ideas at this point. Then I saw the astrostrout and I knew the giraffe was just high.
The full heal upon scaling up is neat, it made me stay and try the risky strategy of losing an HP to eat a lot! Yet, sometimes the spawns of big objects are unfair and we get struck too much. Also, I wish I couldn’t see my mouse pointer as it’s distracting.
Still, you get 5 stars everywhere, great job!
Oh, and I was definitely not expecting a boss there, but it was funny and easy to understand how to defeat :D
That was really cute! I remember seeing your progress on the discord and thinking that you had a really clever idea. I laughed a bunch and had a good time with it. Excellent work, deserves much more recognition.
No major gripes to report. Sometimes I felt like the random arrangement of things with red outlines ended up in unfair situations where I had to take a hit, but that's just how it goes with these kinds of games.
👏Good luck!
Thanks for participating in the stream, here's the VOD clip:

Well done again! I have played your games in past jams; they are always cute. Good submission for the jam!
Okay I just absolutley love this. The lovely artstyle, the funny cutscenes, the unique and very fluid movement, the PUNS, the washing machine, a damn twist boss fight? Just wow, amazing work!
While I didn't finish it, I thought the game was charming. The simplistic styles helps with that charm, I wished I could of played more of it I still have a long list of game to go and to people who are watching pushing me onwards.
Played on today's livestream
That was charming! I was caught off-guard by the space jam. My only complaint is that the difficulty seems quite random; the game sometimes generates extremely difficult arrangements that are almost impossible to avoid, like a vertical wall of shaking objects. Other than that, the gameplay is engaging and satisfying.
All-in-all, good work!
Thank you! Yeah, I believe that sometimes our game can be a little bit unfair, but it makes the game more challenging to complete! 🦒
Failed after just a few levels but I had fun! Took me a little while to understand that pigeons that were threats before but can be eaten after growing. Maybe because my character wasn't changing size (comparing it to donut county for example).
However, the controls feel good, the art style is really nice and I laughed out loud at the puns from the intro sequence, congratulations!
Thank you so much! Too bad that you didn't complete the game... It is worth it to know what the giraffe finds out! 🦒🌍
Fun game, cute artstyle and it was challeging in the right way, i had to play again to see the end, if you didnt play it till the end really worth it ! congrats on finishing the gamejam!
We are glad that you finished our game and found out the truth! 🦒
This is an awesomely clever idea to link scale with giraffe! Love the concept and the game play!
Thank you ! 🦒🌎
Fun game with a silly sense of humor & cute art style!
Thank you so much! ❤️🦒
I hope i would be giraffe in my next life. Great game!
Thank you ! 😄
This is such a fun game, the puns are amazing. The only issue is that the mouth only stays open for a little while each time.
Thank you! I believe it would be too easy to pass the whole game if giraffe's mouth was always open 😉
It's a really fun and charming entry (loved the puns and the end of the game).
The gameplay is simple and smart.
Maybe for the gameplay, holding the left click instead of pressing it once to eat seem a bit more intuitive to me, but I'm just nitpicking.
Great job, especially for a game made in only half the allotted time!
Thank you so much for playing our game! We are also proud of what we achieved in only 48h too!🙂
I played the full game. The game was very fun i experienced no bugs and the graphics looked good as well
Doing this in 48 is incredible.
Thank you so much! We are glad that you liked it 😊
