Our take on The Amazing Shrinking Giraffe
The game replaces fixed-scale exploration with size changes as its central convention. A single adventure moves from galaxy-sized travel to atom-sized encounters, while also combining spaceship travel, planetary driving, and creature riding.
What is The Amazing Shrinking Giraffe?
Play as Ginger, a talking giraffe tasked with defending the Universe from evil serpents.
Alter your scale from cosmic proportions down to atomic size, then reduce the serpents and seal them inside atoms. The journey ranges from galaxies to leaf cells. Travel through space by spaceship, cross planetary surfaces, and gather energy from alien life and vegetation. You can ride enormous sand worms or become small enough to travel on beetles. At planetary scale, leap from asteroid to asteroid. Angering the serpents can turn the hunter into the hunted. This is a brief experimental game with a sandbox element.
