What a fun and cute game! I love the style choice. You might have just inspired me to get back into game dev.

its a pretty fun game and well made for a recreation. my highest highscore is 73


since my laptop doesn't have a GPU and uses the CPU integrated graphics instead, i had to launch the game with 

"GiraffeRun.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3

and that caused some problems such as the grass disappearing, a black line appearing on the ui, the game lagging for a bit at the start, etc.



other than that it's a pretty fun game, the assets and stuff are really well made. i do have a few suggestions though that could make the game better:

  1. start off with about 1-2 bombs being spawned per second, and the amount gets slowly increased. right now it gets increased too fast
  2. start off with the giraffe walking at the regular speed, and then starts to gradually run faster
  3. decrease the bomb's hitbox, sometimes i still get hurt even if the giraffe's head isn't touching the bomb

and that's about it, i like the game

yoo this actually reminds me a lot of my first game in gameplay. very cool. 

It did seem like as I played for a bit the game's fps got lower and eventually when I hit a bomb the game crashed. I'll be running it from the linux terminal to get logs next time 👍
