Space Giraffe leaderboard

What's funny is that my old nemesis from T2K is now #2 on the leaderboards and closing on my score steadily. I'm pretty sure he'll have me within a few days.

He wasn't on the test team and he got the game on Wednesday just like everyone else.

I guess he should be banned from the leaderboards for just being too damn good at the game and spoiling it for everyone else, eh?

Me, I'm enjoying pushing up my restart bonuses. Got a 49.5 mill restart on level 12 now. I love how it's fun just to work the lower levels and set new start bonuses, especially in super ox mode.

Noting a few completions arriving on the board too

Going back and improving earlier levels is what I love doing too, always challenging myself to do better. I'd be much further on in the level advencement if it wasn't for that.

Super ox mode, is that what unlocks after completing 100?

Yeah, the ability to start a game in super ox mode becomes available once you have reached level 100.

Thanks. And what is different in super ox mode? Harder, faster, more challenging?

- Enemy loadout per level is the same but the level geometry is randomly chosen.
- All shooting enemies fire a lot more than in the main game
- Levels containing feedback-monster-triggers will trigger them just by shooting any enemy
- All enemies move a bit faster and bullet speeds are a bit faster
- All Rotors are evil and all feedback monsters are laughing (and at a higher rate than normal)
- Level names are randomly generated.
- Long-play-reward-modifier goes up more quickly than in normal game.

I see someone else has been reading that disgraceful thread over at Stu's forum. He'd be the first to complain if that was going on over here directed at him.

Haha, was that analogy was made over there too then.

Hallo, folks!

First post here, but I'm really loving Space Giraffe. However, I'd like to ask you all to please go out for a while, maybe go have a nice sandwich or a long soak in the pool. I understand the weather's quite nice in [your area here] today.

Anything, really. Just please stop scoring for a while, as I keep slipping from the mid-nineties down out of the top 100 scorers over on the leaderboard and therefore I can't go off and get any sleep because the giraffe is haunting me. Taunting me. Both of those.

That's 'Xyzzy Squirrel' over on the leaderboards, thank you. Lunge out in front of a disco-ball thingie for me before you crack my score again, would you? That's very kind.

Right! Now to go and push rank up some more...

Welcome.... and a great first post!

Fucking yes!

I got the 'Make mine a 99' achievement and so nearly got the achievement for consecutive x9 multiplier.

Finished up placed at 108... I'm sure that'll be gone before morning

Managed to get up to number 14, just behind Skweeky and I'm a cack handed mongo.

I don't think Yak's score will be top of the board for that long.

I just finally broke the top 200! Pretty soon I'll be right up there with you actually skilled players... except for the fact that you can keep improving, thus making me continue to fall below, as that skill thing is something I lack...

Balls.

Bloody hell Muttley is waging war on Giraffe!

I'm not sure I can hold him off for much longer! That fucker is dragging himself up everytime I look!

I'm at 103 now.... I won't be going to bed until I crack the top 100.

Ha, bumped skweeky down a notch, that'll do for tonight I think.

I am loving this game so much more than I thought I ever would. Best title on XBLA for me.
