Really cool, i've seen games using this mechanic before but the idea of reaching for the golden fruid was brilliand, added a whole new aspect to it ^^

Well done. It’s interesting how the difficulty gets exponentially harder as you grow. It would be nice to have the game capture the pointer, I kept losing focus by quickly sliding my pointer out of the window.
I feel this might be the best integration of the growth theme I've seen so far! The simple mechanics are a good plus and I love how the difficulty naturally emerges from growing taller. The art is really cute, although it feels a little static. Overall, good job!
It's very fun!
I like the dificult progression when the giraffe grows. you explore the theme very well.
Congrats for a great job!
Simple game mechanic, but it's made really well. It's enough to make the difficulty curve exciting. Good job.
Hahaha, cute fun game, my little niece sure could play this for hours. Music, sounds and art is cute, and difficulty is up to the task. A really solid entry. Great job!
simple fun game , i like how when you grow it make it more difficult to dodge the rocks and collect the fruit
Fun game! Mechanics are simple but satisfying. The only thing I wish is that there was some feedback after winning.
So stinking cute! Really fun game with super clean and adorable graphics and a bop of a song! I agree with the other comments that those last few milestones really make you work for that golden apple! Very satisfying once you reach the end. Thanks for the game! Great project
This was a fun game and awesome use of the theme. Also I like how it the stones and fruits start to fall more erratically as you grow your neck. Very well balanced.
For a simple once scene game, I really like how balanced the game is. Gettings those last two extensions are tough. Good work!
for exports I've been using the same pipeline for a while, on gitlab, it's super handy! I've written a little bit about it actually, if you're interested: https://tducasse.itch.io/tally-the-giraffe/devlog/258558/publishing-games-to-itchio-from-gitlab
Very intuitive game design, very easy to pick up and very natural progression in difficulty due to the interaction of mechanics. Well designed
