I was wondering why Yak wasn't top of the leaderboard.....
.
Then I looked at his status - Yak is playing Space Giraffe - currently on level 74. Hmmm, guess it's going to take a while for him to play it through and post his score!!!

It really is ace - how anyone could rate it as a 2 is beyond me. Yes I have died a few times but never unfairly so - normally because i've tried jumping without first collecting some pods or because I just clip one of the enemy bullets.

It's great fun - well done to Jeff, Giles and everyone else involved. A winner is you!!

That thing that flashes up at the end of a level saying "start bonus updated" or something - does that mean that say you've got 950000 at the end of level2, then if you start from level3 next time, you'll get 950000 added to your score when you complete it? So it just sort of "assumes" you've mastered the level before, but gives you the actual score you got? If so, that's "a good thing" for sure.

I always assumed games that allowed that gave you a sort of random bonus in that situation.

Hmm. Got to level 13 but no start bonus for level 12. What's that all about then? Do I have to reach a certain score to get a start bonus?

Had a rough night sleeping so was up and about to download this morning - Had around 10mins of play and loved it

It's v.much got the heart and soul of a Llamasoft title, feeling like Tempest 2K, Batalyx & Iridis Alpha all at once

You don't need to be a llamasoft fanboy to play it just your brain as it certainly requires more complex play-strategies than the Geometry Wars et al. Overall, fab! Hope for many more Llamasoft titles in the near future. Well done Jeff & Giles!

No, you just need to still have at least 3 lives remaining.

So it's half as taxing as Fun House then?

Fun House!
It's a whole lot of fun, prizes to be won...
It's a real crazy show where anything can go!
Use your body and your brain if you want to play the game!

Fun House!

Just curious - how many buttons does the game use? I'd guess two - fire and 'bull'?
