Here you can see the space giraffe firing.



Here the giraffe moves around the edge of the surface. Its tail grows longer the more things it shoots.



Here the space giraffe leaps off the edge of the surface.



The space giraffe has just shot three projectiles aimed at it.



Here the space giraffe has been knocked from the edge of the surface and is exploding.

Bloody hell

That's ace Yak

Is the player in direct control of the long-necked bugger, or does it whoosh about assisting?

/me quietly stockpiles 400 points..

Can you shoot from the dangly bit?



EDIT:
Oh - and please call the game "Space Giraffe"

You are in control of the giraffe. Generally it fires from its hooves but if you make it raise a hoof and hover it over a channel, it'll fire from that hoof too (up to a point, you can't do that indefinitely).

As you shoot stuff the tail grows longer. The length of the tail determines how many things get smart bombed when you press the smart bomb button - the segments of the tail explode sequentially, taking out one enemy with each segment.

If you keep the tail until the end of the level, it'll explode as you leave the surface, yielding bonus points as it does so.

There will be a "helper" you can get as a powerup but it won't be a space giraffe .

That looks very pretty indeed

Oh, and I have to mention that it's obviously just another Theurer knock-off

*has 400 points waiting*

Stone

Sounds bloody stupid and I for one won't be playing it.

A bit trippy, ain't it?

Nah! Won't have me going out in the pouring rain, just to buy a 360, just to play this....

actually, you will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too, would have to vote for the name "Space Giraffe".

Yes, "Space Giraffe" would be an awesome name.

You know, if aliens are spying on us, I like the idea that they must be elbowing (tentacling ?) each other over Yak's house around 3am...

Space Giraffe. Has to be, really.

Or Atomic Mutant Hyperspace Giraffes from Hell. Or something.

Or, in keeping with the summers alpha-meme: Giraffes On A Surface

Um but it looks fuck all like a giraffe...

More like a kind of dementificated starfish.

Any ETA on it yet you stinky cunt?

I think Space Giraffe would be a good name for the giraffe itself. Although I think it would be a good name for a game, I'm not sure if it would be good for sales. Yakly games always seem to have cool and unique names, and whilst Space Giraffe is a unique name, most people won't find it very 'cool'.

Of course, if it is called Space Giraffe, great. It looks mad, and would have a crazy name, and one that a bunch of us, myself included, seem to quite like the sound of.

I bet Yak and Giles have a few names alreadt though, don't you lads? (Cue Yak and Giles shuffling their feet nervously)

That looks cool, quite cool actually. I like the idea of "Space Giraffe"

I vote for that.
Looks a bit trippy, and reminiscent of Tempest somehow..
