The definitive Space Giraffe thread

1st post...and wow just read 56 pages (well only Yaks and HGFB's (i like frowning girls)).... I went here after reading the 2/10 review, which was disappointing as i've been waiting for SG for ages, now i'm at work and can't play it...........doh!

Must say I love it that Yak posts here, and well and truly spat his dummy out........ i rarely take any notice of critics anyway...(although i do read them) if i think i'll love something i'll buy it...regardless!

I think most people do, how else did the shite that is Transformers top the charts.

Mr Minter makes games i like to play, so i'll buy them... is it 400 or 800, it should be 800, if 800 will better fund the Yak in future xboxlive productions.

Hmm only scored 2 million odd on the tutorial.

Must try harder I guess.

BUT GOT 11 FUCKING MILLION ON THE FIRST FULL GAME!

[Excuses]

I've only just woke up too, so wasn't even fully zoned into it.

Half way through I got a parcel delivered at the front door as well, right in the middle of a flower level too.

Flowers = Minter you CUNT!

[/Excuses]

Shit sticks that the leaderboard gave an error though.

Someone needs to wake the peeps up at MS and kick some arse!

I just sent an email to MS asking them what's wrong with the LBs ..

Now I am getting paranoid about the thing

Jeff may want to hold the pause on his game, as it won't count if there's no leaderboard.

Enjoying this. Congratulations for getting it out there.

I'm still playing with my Tempest pants on though and not scoring well. Any tips for getting that out of my gameplay Jeff? I'm getting confused about when I can bull and when I can't. I think. Actually I think I'm just confused.

Anyone else unable to write to or read the leaderboards?

Looking at my friends list it seems people are playing some game called 'Space Giraffe'!!

Congrats guys - already downloaded and paid my MS points - and I suck at it so i'm trying to practice.......

The last few pages of this thread mention the leaderboard problem. Guess you've only just got up, like me?

Play the tutorial some more, getting used to collecting powerups, getting the Power Zone extended, either by shooting enemies or by jumping (when you have >1 pod) and then moo-ving along the rim* to collide with the enemies.

Keep playing level 2 to practice bulling the accumulated guys on the rim. It's easy to see the power zone behaviour on that level.

It's all about maintaining that power zone.

How does that graph thing work?

Is it showing multiple levels (the numbers are just current level right?) or is it showing progression through that current level?

Im at work too

Will have to wait till tonight to play

pants

This gives me an excuse to start playing my 360 again, as i've been spending too much money on guitars recently...........

Heh, yeah those flowers... Having to let them grow to retain powerbar distance when shot, but risk them sprouting...

Only had a chance for a quick blast on the tutorial level before leaving for work, but looking forward to a proper go tonight (if I can stay awake - [Busy/late night last night...]).

Hopefully the Leaderboard stuff will be sorted by MS too..

This is fantastic. And when "Problem Lads?" flashed up I lost a life from laughing too much. Damn you

Is that a numbers station on the title screen? It's giving me the fear.

Yup, read in Welsh by a young girl from the village near Yak.
