Jeff Minter’s Llamasoft is so very pleased with PC Gamer UK’s 92% review of the PC version of Space Giraffe that they’ve spilled the beans on the release date for their next title, Gridrunner+++.
Old-old-old school developer (and hooved animal enthusiast) Jeff Minter put some screenies up on his Live Journal of Gridrunner+++, the Xbox Live Arcade port of Gridrunner ++. It looks like an acid trip. There’s a sheep in the upper right of this screen, in case you were wondering. The other two are on the jump.

Fan of all things hairy, bearded and woolen, Jeff Minter, dropped word on his LiveJournal today on the follow up to the loved/hated Space Giraffe for Xbox Live Arcade. Llamasoft’s Gridrunner++ is currently in the redesign process for XBLA which will undergo a 3D transformation and will be “a much more involved game than the PC-only predecessor”.
For those unfamiliar with Gridrunner++, demos for the PC and Mac are currently available at Llamasoft. For those who can’t be bothered with the half-dozen clicks required to run it, the game is a “twitch gaming shoot ‘em up” featuring “glorious, retina scorching, psychedelic themed parallax scrolling levels.” It sounds like Robotron. It’s fun. Go play it.
