Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players find it funny and chaotic with a friend, but its brutal difficulty, physics and crashes frustrate many others.

Many players enjoy the game most in co-op, where two people controlling linked giraffes produce chaotic, laughter-filled moments and blame-trading when one partner ruins a climb. Some praise the silly premise, the funny sounds and the free price. Complaints centre on the difficulty and the ragdoll physics, which make jumps feel imprecise and falls feel unfair, with some players finding the solo experience frustrating. Several players report crashes on launch, low frame rates and a head that gets stuck in platforms. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, and many of them are short, angry reactions to early hours. Steam's totals are more positive than the reviews read here.

Praised

  • Chaotic co-op fun

    Players enjoy playing with a friend, where miscommunication and blame make the physics-driven chaos funny.

    Many players
  • Funny, silly premise

    Players like the absurd idea of two giraffes tied together and the humorous sounds and mood.

    Some players
  • Free to play

    Players highlight that it costs nothing, making it easy to try with friends.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Brutal difficulty

    Players find the levels very hard, with long setbacks and falls that feel punishing rather than rewarding.

    Many players
  • Physics and controls

    Players criticise the ragdoll physics and giraffe controls, which feel imprecise, unpredictable and hard to master.

    Many players
  • Crashes and performance

    Players report crashes on launch, very low frame rates and a head that gets stuck in platforms.

    Some players
  • Frustration with solo play

    Players say the game is far less enjoyable alone, as it requires two people to coordinate.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suited to friends or partners who enjoy chaotic, laughter-filled co-op and don't mind repeated setbacks.
Who should skip it
Players who want precise, fair platforming or a solo experience, or who may be put off by frequent crashes.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with short playtimes mostly report early frustration with the first hill, while those with longer sessions describe the co-op humour and the later levels more often.
