The Global Game Jam 2015 was this weekend, and I participated with two others. We made a runner game where you record the movement in advanced, and then hoped that you had timed it correctly. We use 1200x700 as the resolution, so screens smaller then that will have a problem. Sorry.

You can download the and read more about the game from the Global Game Jam site, or from the attachment here. The repo is also up at GitHub.

Oh, your game is not a physics puzzler. And you giraffe isn't green. I guess it's okay then.

Interesting, I had this exact gameplay idea pop into my head a week ago but couldn't figure out how to use it in a fun way. Nice work!
