http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/games/space-giraffeSpace Giraffe is simple-looking game with a
surprisingly steep learning curve, but the payoff for mastery is one of
the most fun and challenging arcade shooters in years. 5/5

Tempest is a "shoot the bad guys before they get you” game, but
Space Giraffe is a “manage chaos and cultivate beneficial situations”
game. They feel totally different.

If you are the one who is still thinking that Space Giraffe is “oh dear, it’s Tempest where you can’t see what’s going on,” it's at least worth reading the
walkthrough and replaying demo levels several times. If you are unsure of taking the leap to the full version, examine
full gameplay elements and
enemies. If you are the one who is stuck around level 30, learning more about the
enemies would help you.
Soundtrack download is also available for everyone.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. The game needs a bit of time to get the "click," but I think it's totally worth it.
