All questions could be asked in the relevant thread in the SG forums, but I'll tell you anyway. :wink:

Firing is automatic.

Buttons are (IIRC) as follows:

Left Trigger: Speed up transition phase between levels (not needed to play)

Right Trigger: Jump off play area. Hold for longer jump (to help get over long Flowers?)

Left analog: Move giraffe left/right.

Right analog: Move shots slightly left/right across play area.

A button: Smart Bomb.

There is no 'bull' button - to bull you have to sweep the enemies off the web whilst the power zone is in the distance - of course if you prefer you can use a pod to push the power zone back (handy if you've been sat waiting for enemies to accumulate at the front of the web).

Buttons used are basically - stick to move, right trigger to use a pod and A for the smart bomb.

Enjoying it - good fun - but those flowers are fecking annoying!! :lol:
