Heh, yeah... most of mine this morning were because I was drawing too fine a line between shooting baddies and trying to keep the power baa just above the base line for a max shooty/bulling combo...(whilst not using pods)..

I've died a couple of times when i've not been able to see why, you do need to spot the bullets early on and keep track of where they are if you're going to chance doing a full on bull run.

Most of my deaths have been from knowing where the bullets are but chancing it and thinking I can make it round the web before one gets to the top, they always get you though.

Minter you CUNT :wink:

I had to start playing with the sound turned off (long story) and was doing quite crap.

It's definately easier with the sound on because, as mentioned elsewhere, there are plenty of audio cues to help you out. Very cool :D

Beautiful, just utterly fucking stunning.

One try and I utterly sucked. 10 million on tutorial for an achivement? eek!

Thank you. Jeff and Giles. Great game

And thank you too, to the all the other guys who helped make this happen in whatever they helped make it happen.

Yak reckons that around 1 million points per level is a good score, so it is possible. :)

Bonus Multiplier at x9 as quickly as possible (and no deaths to revert it to x1) is the best tip I guess. :)

Well, for one thing, as in any level bull early and efficiently to get the BM up as soon as you can. Just as in Geom Wars it's all about not dying while the multipler comes up, it's the same thing in the giraffe, with the added proviso that it's only bulling that'll raise the BM.

Even on the very first SG level with a bit of care you can bull up to 4x BM. And that applies to the end of level bonuses so it's well worth doing.

By level 6's end I'll be expecting to get my Giraffa Caprichoso achievement :).
Justified and Ancient.
