    cool game

    Cool lil game, looks promising.
    first impression is sort of like playing a side-scrolling skateboard game, because the way the Giraffe "skates" and "air" across the screen as it kicks stuff out of his way.
    thoughts, how about adding the ability to air trick by doing series of combos with the Left, Right, and the Action buttons while its in the air? this can give the players something interesting to do rather than just sit there and wait for it to land itself. for example, while the giraffe is in the air, input Left, Action, Right, the giraffe will do a pose by arching its neck and grab its tail thus forming a circle-like pose. it doesn't have to have a whole lot these air tricks like a freaking Tony Hawk. just a couple that can help the players gain extra points by doing these air tricks/poses, of course each different tricks will induce a certain "lag" time thus the player will have to time their tricks in order to chain different tricks or score a perfect/good/poor landing...(much like a tony hawk in this case). With each successful chain or landing, it will double or even triple the combo scores.
    I know it's probably too complicated or even too late for you guys to be adding this feature. it's just imo that this feature can somehow put your game on a different platform and set it apart from the rest of these other side scrolling games out there.

    Thank you so much for sharing this process with us. That shows a lot of character and respect for what the public think.(even us that know nothing about what actualy goes into a game like this.) It's nice to know that you want peoples feedback.
    I agree with rich4life. There are far too many games out there that have this exact objective. I think that putting these action keys in would very much so, set this game apart from other games.
    All in all though, the game looks great. I didn't see a reply on the question about when it goes live... I'm gonna have to get it and give er a whirl

    We're hoping to have it released by end of March/early April.

    Great points, thank you! We'll definitely consider adding something like that in our first update (after the game goes live).

    Thank you! I replied to the previous posts and addressed the questions/feedback.

    Haha, that'd be pretty fun. Perhaps in some bonus levels? lol

    This looks like a great game and for all the time your spending on it I can't wait to try it out. How many levels will there be or will there be possible expansions? (I know it's kinda early to be talking about expansions =)

    Great Job!

    Great Job on this game. Im very excited to try it out. It does somewhat remind me of old school Mario/ Sonic games, which I miss playing. That nostalgic reminder makes me want to play so much more. I believe that I would maybe incorporate different characters of the giraffe, say oddly colored giraffes like blueish ones since they are in the freezing cold, or add a scarf "for warmth". The possibility of after a high score adding a "bonus round" where there is a room full of Ice cremes that you just have to collect as many in 10 seconds like back in the sonic games with the rings. Just my two cents on the game to add a few things. Again I cant wait to play the game! :)

    I'm not a huge gamer but i love to play some of the apps on my i Touch. I gotta say i am impressed with all the hard work that goes into creating a mobile game. I look forward to playing Go Go Giraffe when it comes out now that i have a glance into what all goes into creating a game such as this.

    About 1,000 men hours :) not a lot of cups of Joe but lots of RedBull!

    With out first release, we'll have 2 worlds and a total of 24 levels. We definitely plan on extending it though.

    Yup, we've added some bonus rounds which I think you'll find quite fun to play. Thank you for the feedback!!
