jirafaGraph is a number puzzle played on a clock, set to music. Every node of the graph holds a number. You start on one node with a value. Tap a neighbouring node and its number is added to yours, clock-style: go past the top and you wrap around to 0. Reach the target value, then the next one. Ten targets make a game. LEARN AS YOU PLAY Your first game is a short interactive tutorial: five small puzzles that teach the rules one at a time. Skip it if you like, and replay it any time from "How to play" in the menu, along with a second lesson for the bigger levels. EVERY MOVE IS MUSIC Each value is a pitch, played by recorded percussion, and every number on every clock has a pitch of its own, from 3 hours to 90. Every move plays a short three-note motif: where you are, where you need to be, and back again. Finish a game and you have composed a melody. A PUZZLE A DAY From 1 November 2026, a new daily puzzle every day, the same for everyone, arriving at midnight your time. Monday is the gentlest, the weekend the hardest. Keep your streak going. FOUR GIRAFFES, FOUR WAYS TO PLAY Choose a jirafaPack: the same cartoon giraffe at four ages. • Baby: small clocks, from 3 hours up to 12, with a clock face on screen and a glowing hint in the early levels. • Toddler: a 12-hour clock that gains six hours every ten levels. • Teen: a 30-hour clock. • Adult: a clock that keeps growing, and a graph that grows as you play. Beyond Baby, some levels grow new branches after each target, and some numbers keep changing until you land on them. PAR, STARS AND CHARLIE Every target has a par: the fewest moves that can reach it. Reach it at par for 100 points and three stars; a perfect game scores 1000. Charlie, the rival giraffe, always takes one move more than par. Tie him for two stars, beat him for three. Time is shown at the end but never counts against you. After each game the summary shows your score, the stars for every target, your moves against Charlie's, and your best score with that giraffe. Tap Share to send a friend your stars and a link to the very same puzzle. PLAYS NICELY • No ads, no account, no tracking. • Works offline and collects no data. • In English and French, following your iPhone's language. • Follows Reduce Motion, and taps are more forgiving on small nodes. • Sound on or off from the menu. The game follows the silent switch and lets your own music keep playing. TEEN AND ADULT JIRAFAPACKS Baby, Toddler and the daily puzzle are yours to play, and so is any puzzle a friend shares with you. Teen and Adult are an in-app purchase: one purchase, the Teen & Adult jirafaPacks, opens both for good, and Family Sharing lets your family play them too.

A game to find a path to erase all balls by tapping them. There are rules for the order of erasing. Rules. - Do not go slantwise - Do not go back the route you came. Interesting as a deciphering puzzle In simple stages, you may reach the goal by accident, but in more complex stages, you have to find the correct solution by omitting the route one by one logically. The Interest of 3-Dimensionalization It's complicated by the 3-dimensionalization of the ball placement. In 2D, everything can be grasped at a glance, whereas in 3D, it is difficult to grasp the whole picture. It is necessary to rotate the stage and look at it from various angles to figure out its placement. Of course, there are also two-dimensional stages. Tutorial There are a few rules, so I've created a tutorial to illustrate them. There are quite a few levels of difficulty The difficulty of the game is roughly proportional to the number of balls you have. When you increase the number of balls, the stage usually gets bigger, but if the stage is too big to fit on the screen, the balls get smaller and the operation gets worse. I'd have to design the game within its operable range, but even the limits of the operability made the game difficult enough. As a result, I handle a wide range of easy to difficult stages. One type of solution If you create a stage with the rules above, there is not a single solution for every arrangement. Many stages with multiple solutions are also generated. However, I have tried to adopt many of the one type of solution methods. It's also interesting to realize that there's only one way to solve a puzzle when you're solving it. In-App Purchase - Additional stages - The function to record the stages you have started - Remove the ad The reason for creating it This game is based on an old puzzle called "Goishihiroi", which is a puzzle played with Go stones on a board. I found it quite interesting, so I considered making it into an app. But someone else had already made another one. I thought I'd add something new and came up with the idea of making it 3-dimensional. Even if the rules were the same, I felt that 3D would make it even more interesting. I started development.
