Giraffe o'Clock (LD50)

Ludum Dare 50 Link

-----------------------------------------------------

Giraffe o'Clock is now available on both Windows and on Web - Please adjust volume through volume slider as options are not an option yet (:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The LD version has a hitbox glitch that sometimes gets the player stuck inside walls. Do not fear; press Start/Escape, go back to the main menu, and continue your save file - the timer will go back to what it was when you first entered that stage. A fix is on the way in the post-jam version.

-----------------------------------------------------

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!

PLOT

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.
