Hi everyone. I’m delighted to be able to tell you that our first Vita game Hungry Giraffe is out now on the European Vita Store. Unfortunately, while it’s not in the ‘Latest’ section yet, you can find everyone’s favourite giraffe by searching for “Hungry Giraffe” on the Vita store or simply following this link.
This fantastic new version of Hungry Giraffe is packed with new features and can be picked up off the PSN Store for just £2.39 / €2.99.
Unfortunately the calorie packs for Hungry Giraffe are not yet available. We are currently working to rectify that and we are hoping that they will be available in the near future.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week but until then you can join us on our Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google+ pages where we will be posting all the news from Laughing Jackal.

Hi everyone. I’m delighted to be able to tell you that we will be releasing our first full Vita title in Europe this Wednesday when it will be available for just £2.39 / €2.99.
The latest version of Hungry Giraffe has some amazing new features, including:
Trophies – Show off your giraffe feeding skills with our shiny range of Trophies.
Online Leaderboards – Compare your Hungry Giraffe scores with the best players from around the world.
All-new Store menu – Earn calories in-game then spend them on upgrades and powerups in the Store.
Three new skins – Fed up with gobbling your way from the savannah to the skies as a giraffe? Then why not use our fabulous Reindeer, Emu and Snake skins?
Brand new Angel Feather powerup – If you find yourself falling to your certain doom why not buoy yourself back into the skies with the ever-useful Angel Feathers?
Amazing Upgrades – Use your calories in-Store to unlock later Stages, nerf the effects of poison, pills and weights, get more boost from low-calorie foods, store more Hard Hats, give Chillis a better kick and more!
Digital Manual – See our gameplay hints and tips and learn more about the content of the game.
Previous versions of Hungry Giraffe were a big hit, with it becoming the first ever mini to be given 10/10 by Official PlayStation Magazine UK, as they called it: “…as cute as a puppy with an inside-out ear and so addictive that it’s likely to make you miss your stop on the bus and not really care.”
Unfortunately we don’t yet have a North American release date but Vita owners in North America should stay tuned as we will be announcing a release date for them as soon as possible.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week but until then you can join us on our Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google+ pages where we will be posting all the news from Laughing Jackal.

Hi everyone. It’s been another busy week here at Laughing Jackal and we’ve got lots of news for you all. To start things off, those of you with access to PlayStation Mobile will be happy to know that the amazing OMG-Zombies is currently free on PSM as part of Sony’s Six Weeks of Free PlayStation Mobile Gaming offer. So why not head to the PSN Store and start exploding some zombies?
Talking about the Vita some of you may remember last week’s big announcement that Hungry Giraffe will be coming to the Vita. Since then we were interviewed by the team over at PushSquare about the Vita version of Hungry Giraffe. To read the full interview and get my thoughts on all things Hungry Giraffe (and find out just which food would tempt me to start growing my neck) please check out this link.
This week over on Vita Player they have been running a series of reviews on our games. So far they have looked at Duæl Invaders, Cubixx and OMG-Zombies and there is still more to come, including another Laughing Jackal Interview. So, keep an eye on this link for the rest of this week for more Laughing Jackal coverage.
We have also been hard at work on more dynamic themes, and our version of the American and Canadian flags will be coming to PSN shortly.
Finally those of you following the PS4 announcement may have spotted a certain name in the European section of this list of PlayStation 4 developers. Exciting isn’t it :).
That’s all for now. In next week’s blog we will be announcing a price and release date for Hungry Giraffe on Vita. Until then you can join us on our Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google+ pages, where we will be posting all the news from Laughing Jackal.
