Have you been looking for, no have you been CRAVING for a gameboy-inspired, full of chiptune bangers, story-rich, dialogue-heavy, game about a baby giraffe, afraid of the dark, who goes on a massive journey to transcend space and time in order to manipulate time so it'll never turn dark?

You're not going to believe it!

Then I have THE game for you! (More about the plot underneath the dancing giraffe)

Webbuild is a post-jam build BUT the game will tell you when the post-jam part starts. Otherwise you could download the 0.2.5 version. Controller/Keyboard controls are both supported. *RECOMMENDED* to play on easy difficulty if you want to experience the full game - the difficulties have not been balanced properly, but easy has been buffed up for LD reasons!

Good luck, and ENJOY!

Brother Billy is about to turn off the lights; it's bedtime after all. It just so happens to be that Kid Giraffe is scared of the dark and he's not quite ready for the lights to go off yet. Logically he goes on an adventure to delay, or perhaps completely evade, the inevitable. Meet a cast of characters through a jolly world of witty dialogue, adorable graphics, while transcending space and time in the one way that makes sense: through dance.
