i watched the video and i honestly had no idea what was going on it was very colourful and the sound was all explosions and animals being raped :P
First, how the hell can a topic have more posts than views? Second, Jeff, do you go looking for these crazy ass obscure games, or do they just materialize for you?
I wish people hadn't dismissed this as rubbish. I understand that it might not be to some people's tastes, but it was a well crafted game that really rewarded those that gave it some play time. There's something magical about the music, sound effects and even those controversial graphics. Plus the bonus levels are awesome and the most chilled out thing in computer games.
I bought it since I wanted to support Mr Minter, but I seriously can't wrap my head around it.
I've played it several times and have yet to get an achievement in it or fully understand what is happening.
I'm considering dropping some Ambien before playing it, but I'm afraid it just might leave me a gibbering wreck.
I have spent a lot of time playing this game trying to beat it. Out of 99 levels, I think I got to 94. I have not played it in probably 6 months.
I think as the levels get up there, the wrong things are done to make them harder, the worst of which is making the damn grid harder to see.
It was an awesome game that few people gave a chance to, simply because it was visually busy (to put it mildly).
The graphics didn't bother me much, but - like Jeff - I'm colourblind and over the years I've gotten very good at distinguishing patterns and shapes from one another since I cannot tell colours apart like most other people can. Maybe Space Giraffe is the ultimate game for the colourblind.
$20 is madness, though. $5 was just right.
