*2018-10-17*

This game is pretty cool, at first i did not know how to use the long horns now i do. Though somtimes the neck of the giraffe glitches and i die...still great though!!😅😄

### 5/5 — AMAZINGGGGGG

*2018-10-05*

I recently started playing this game, and it’s really simple but fun.

### 5/5 — Get it!

*2015-11-05, version 1.1.0*

Fluid animation and responsive. The art is just fantastic.

You control the head and eat fruit and headbutt lions when the sun's up. It's great.

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2015-10-29*

As the title implies, this game is flawless.
It's a neat endless giraffe runner with fun mechanics.
9/10

### 1/5 — uhh

*2015-04-24*

It's ok...it was better when it was landscape view though. I don't like the new portrait view. It's harder for me to play

### 2/5 — Not worth $0.99

*2015-10-30*

I got this on one of the days it was free and I feel bad for the people who payed for it. I disagree with it getting 5 stars. It wasn't fun or addicting. Maybe if you're a young child you enjoy it. To Control the giraffe your fingers in the way half of the time so you can't really see what you're doing. I deleted it and won't be reinstalling.

### 3/5 — Simple yet addicting, but...

*2019-06-28*

Needs skins, new animals, and obstacles. Hopefully y’all read this and add these too which would be Great 🤗

### 3/5 — My giraffe

*2016-11-12*

I like the app but it's not like I'm abscessed with it and the fact that YOU pay for it it's not that good so it doesn't get 5 stars in my opinion.

### 3/5 — Good game, but I have some suggestions...

*2015-10-29, version 1.1.0*

I actually really like this game. The concept is really original; I haven't seen any other game like this.

But... it really is quite simple and gets boring after a few games. I would say that you need to begin introducing stuff to work towards.

- So, maybe characters like different coloured giraffes? Maybe have it so that a purple fruit is worth, I don't know, 1 fruit and a yellow one is worth 10, and to buy a giraffe is 500 fruit. Or purple fruits are worth 5 and yellow ones are worth 50, and to buy a giraffe is 5000.

- Themes. So, same deal as a different coloured giraffe, but the giraffe and background and lions are changed too. Maybe you could even change it entirely, so you are a caribou and wolves are chasing you in the forest or mountains or something (but I understand if you didn't end up changing the animals since this IS 'oh my giraffe')

- Powerups to collect during a game. I don't see the point of eating a yellow fruit to get longer horns. Maybe have one that fast forwards time to night? Or a temporary fruit currency doubler? Or a temporary immunity fruit? Or a points doubler?

- Permanent powerups. You would buy these powerups with fruit like you would buy a giraffe, and they give you stuff such as, I don't know, shorter days or more frequent powerups or something. Maybe you would even make it so that certain giraffes only have these perks, but it's your choice.

- If you decide to listen to these suggestions, please listen to this as well: Don't introduce in-app purchases to remove advertisements! Actually, don't ever EVER introduce advertisements! I would understand in-app purchases to buy fruit, but if you ever add advertisements to the game I can tell you now I will be deleting it. Since the actual game costs money already, it wouldn't be fair to have advertisements as well!

So, thanks for reading and I hope you'll take my suggestions into consideration. I like the game and I think it has a cool concept, but it really does need something to add depth, if you get what I mean :)

P.S. If you add some of my suggestions to the game, I will reconsider my three-star rating, and change it to five stars )

### 4/5 — Needs Screen Size Support

*2020-12-07*

Please add support for modern iPhone screen sizes.

### 4/5 — solid game

*2019-08-02*

solid game but gets repetitive

### 4/5 — Get new animals

*2019-05-18*

The force waiting was correct you should add more animals like A elephant 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

### 4/5 — Whacky fun.

*2014-11-25, version 1.0.0*

A high score chaser without leaderboards? Kinda kills the chase a bit. Integrate GC boards and the last star is yours.

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — How amazing can this game get?

*2019-06-14*

This game is awesome 😎 thank you for creating this app keep making more games let God be with you! 🥳🤩😚😋🥰😇

### 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!!!!

### 5/5 — EPIC!!!!!!!!

*2019-03-11, version 1.1.0*

This game is epic. It’s because I love pixel games. Keep it up. Good work!!!

### 5/5 — More fruit,predators,and other animals

*2019-03-02, version 1.1.0*

I think you should add poisonous fruit which are green,Crocodiles,Jaguars,Who are faster than lions,Lepords,And zebras but this time they eat grass,And can run faster,and add Moth,At night,will spawn and attempt to eat more fruit first,Add moldy fruit,Same as poisonous food but makes you lose points by throwing up.Can have a 10 percent chance of spawning

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2019-02-19*

I have only been playing this game for a bit but I can say it gets addicting after a while😆 and when u start playing u don’t stop for me and maybe some others

### 5/5 — Great but...

*2018-12-18*

It’s so simple I don’t think it’s worth 1.99. Other than that, it’s delightful. The controls are very easy to master. If you could add different skins and maybe different animals it would be more worth it.

Tip: Start your run at night, so you can creep past the snoring lions and chow down on fruit!

Another Tip: Is a lion chasing you and there are no low-hanging vines to be found? Turn your head back and gore him on your horns! Be careful, this will only work with one lion at a time!
