## What is oh my giraffe?

“Endless high score action that's just incredibly delightful” – TouchArcade

Eat fruits while being chased by lions. You play as an adorable and stretchy giraffe running through the savanna. Chew through the vines to make the fruit bounce off your butt and hit those big scary cats in the face. Don't worry, your flexible neck will let you reach everything. You'll be great. And remember: the lions sleep at night. That's your chance to gobble down as many fruits as possible. Just be sure not to wake up the lions.

### 5/5 — G.O.A.T of iPhone Games!!!!!

*2024-11-19*

Can’t get any better than a giraffe eating plums off a tree!

### 5/5 — Awsome game I love it😍😍😍

*2024-08-08*

I enjoy this game sooooooooooooooooo much I really think it’s worth trying 20 stars!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun ! Cute ! Addictive ! Just one more go please

*2024-07-20, version 1.1.0*

I am so pleased I rediscovered this cute game . 
It is incredibly good fun , given the simple gameplay and neat design ( you’re a giraffe running through the jungle, having to collect fruit, dangling from trees, whilst avoiding being eaten by lions ). There is no gore so this game is suitable for all ages ( I am 57 ! ) .
I love the simplicity . Being dyspraxic I do struggle to coordinate with over complicated games , but this only requires one thumb ( or finger ) moving the giraffe - he can move back and forth a bit but it’s mainly his neck that needs to be manoeuvred. Collect the fruit , or , knock the fruit off to splat the chasing lions . It becomes easier with practice . Night time comes, and the lion sleeps tonight ! Unless you drop fruit on him then he’ll snap you up . I tend to watch for clumps of fruit to drop on lions and then you can catch 2 or three at once. I’ve only had the game reinstalled for a few hours but already reached the top 2% on one of the 3 high score tables. There are quite a few active players still which is good if you’re competitive . Relaxing gameplay ( given lions are chasing you 😄), cute, clear, uncluttered game interface , apt sound effects and flawless scrolling . Love it ! I hope some other folk find the game.

### 4/5 — Needs Screen Size Support

*2020-12-07*

Please add support for modern iPhone screen sizes.

### 5/5 — Five stars! It’s amazing!

*2019-11-05, version 1.1.0*

It’s a simple game but challenging.It says that it’s age 4+ and I’m 9 years old and it’s soooooooooooo fun! I also have a suggestion or to for it:1 maybe ad more animals like monkeys in the trees.:2 MAKE MORE GIRAFFES! More skins for the giraffe would be awesome!😻 :3 perhaps you could ad a menu were you can choose if you want to go solo or go with a herd of giraffes!🦒.     Overall I thing this is one of the best games ever!

### 4/5 — solid game

### 4/5 — Get new animals

### 5/5 — Fun, not great.

*2019-04-11*

This game has so much in it that was just left out. I would really like to see more in this game! But, if you don’t make much more of this game, than it will get too old for the App Store, and will get deleted. So make more of this fun -but not great- game while you still can! (ADD EVENING!!! PLEASE!!!!
