Tall Tall Giraffe

A little giraffe stands on the savanna with a very short neck. Pieces of neck slide in from the side. Tap anywhere to drop the piece onto the stack. Land it squarely and it stays whole. Hang over the edge and the overhang is sliced off and tumbles into the hay, so the neck gets thinner. Land it perfectly and the piece snaps into place with a sparkle and a rising xylophone note. Five perfect drops in a row make the neck grow back wider.

Whenever the neck reaches a snack, the giraffe's head pops up to munch it: leaves at 10 floors, red apples at 20, cloud candy at 35 and, way up high at 60, the moon itself. Every snack changes the sky, from a sunny morning to cotton candy clouds and a starry night, wins her a new hat (a leaf crown, an apple hat, a candy bow, a moon cap) and is a checkpoint. If a drop misses the neck completely, the giraffe wobbles with a bonk, and you can restart from the last snack with your score kept.

The pieces speed up as the neck grows, and from 35 floors a gentle wind sways the slider. How tall can you go? Your best run, counted in floors, is the number to beat.

Kids Mode (tap the turtle) makes it gentler for younger players: slower pieces, an easier perfect drop, overhangs only half trimmed, and a miss just slides the piece back for another try. There is no game over, and a Home button waits after every snack.
