Minter’s Gridrunner+++ Added To XBLA In April

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+++.

Gridrunner+++ for XBLA Screens

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.

Minter Working On Gridrunner++ For XBLA

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.
