Space Giraffe or Windows Media Player, The Game!
Grapefruit Juice | 11:23 AM on 08.24.2007 11 comments


Space Giraffe: Hey, look everybody! It’s a Tempest clone with Windows Media Player visualizations tossed in to obscure the gameplay! But wait! That’s not all, you also get levels shown from such an angle that you cant see half the field. And that’s only in the 1st 10 levels, imagine how badly designed the other 90 are. On second thought don't. Heres an idea, give us the original Tempest on XBLA so we can forget about this visual turd.

Considering the game is made by the same guy who made Tempest, I don't think it's right to call it a clone.

The game is pretty sweet.

He also developed the VLM on the Jaguar CD which was a precursor to said Windows Media Player/Winamp visualizations.

I agree, the game is pretty sweet.

This game makes me want to through up...in a good way.

When people come in and see you playing it they have no idea what's going on.

Wow. I can't dance around this one by being cute or funny.

Um... Fuck you.

Space Giraffe is the shit.
PS do you work for OXM?

Did you ever play REZ? Or are good games beyond your grasp?
Jordan Devore's Destructoid Blog
I admit there are a few levels that make it hard to see what's going on, but it's a fantastic game overall.
Banj's Destructoid Blog
I agree. Fuck Jeff Minter and his shit novelty games. That motherfucker is getting by on reputation alone the silly surrealist cunt.

If you and grapefruit can't get by on Surrealism, then I've only got one thing to say to you guys.

2. Windows Media Player/Winamp visualizations look like ass

Grapefruit Juice's Destructoid Blog
