> Every time the giraffe moves house, she hurts her neck from lifting all those heavy boxes! The doctors insist that fresh air and plenty of vegetables are vital for her recovery, but the urban jungle can be tricky to navigate.

Instructions


Balance your neck and head by moving your body!

- Arrow keys or WASD/ZQSD - control the giraffe's body
- `J` - bite onto a shrubbery to swing. While swinging, your body can pass through floors, lava and platforms
- `K` & `L` - contract/extend your neck
- `SPACE`/`ENTER` - Start game & skip dialogue

Collect all of these before you can finish the level.
Make it home after collecting all the leaves.
These keep your head up - or toss it about.
Swing from these by pressing `J`.

Terrain


- Floor: your body can touch this, but not your head.
- Lava: your body and head cannot touch this.
- Platform: your head passes through this, but to your body this is just a floor.

Tools used

Godot, Audacity, InkScape and a Roland piano

Hints

* This is not an easy game! You will need some practice to learn how to balance. Try "feathering" your controls.
* A hint if you get stuck in the first 3 levels:
!> In level 3 you might discover that you can jump over your own head!

:clock2: The timer is for all the speed runners among you! Let us know your scores, or how far you got!

:warning: The music seems to stutter in Chrome/Edge. Firefox works fine though! We will see if we can fix the Godot export.
