Okay, so your skills ain't teh suxxor, Jeff. - Image 1

That’s it. Jeff Minter‘s blog says it. Space Giraffe is done. Well, barring a bit of polish here and there, but it’s done. What’s left is Microsoft certification and this will be in Marketplace for, according to Eurogamer, the “paltry” sum of 400 Microsoft points.

One of the features Jeff’s plugging into this game is the Game Over screen. Besides telling you that, simply, your skills teh suxxor if you can’t complete all 100 levels of the game, it will demonstrate how your skills are teh suxxor with a convenient and equally psychedelic graph. As he says, the green line is your best level scores to date, the yellow line is what the game considers to be “good” scores through those same levels, and the orange section represents recently-played progress through the game. Simply put, given any point on the graph,

IF Green < Yellow

THEN You = Teh Suxxor for that level/s.
