Hi again everyone. Last week we announced that our 100K unit-selling PSN Mini Hungry Giraffe was going to be coming to iPhone and - as promised - we’ve got a whole raft of new features and improvements to make Hungry Giraffe on iPhone even better. Not only are we taking advantage of some of the great features of the iPhone, but we’ve got some more clever little twists to the concept which we’re sure all you Hungry Giraffe fans will love.
New Features:
Hungry Giraffe is now Free-to-play: Treat your favourite giraffe to an all-you-can-eat buffet, for no money down!
Online leaderboards: All New Openfeint score boards let you test your skills against other Hungry Giraffe players worldwide.
Achievements: Now you can track your achievements online via Openfeint.
Worldwide Calorie Counter: Hungry Giraffe now keeps track of all the calories eaten by every single player. After launch we’ll be setting milestones for players to speed up game updates, so get eating! ^_^
All-new Store menu: Eat calories in-game then spend them on upgrades and powerups in the Store.
Brand new Angel Feather powerup!: Each download of Hungry Giraffe comes with 5 free Angel Feathers, saving you from certain death. Once you’re out you can buy more feathers in the Store.
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 more kick and more!
Earn calories for FREE!: Be nice to us by following us on social networks and earn FREE calories to give your giraffe a head start in his new life on iPhone.
In-App Purchases: Getting stuck? Why not give your giraffe a boost by purchasing one of our mega-value calorie packs?
Help menu: Accessible everywhere in the game, you can see our gameplay tips and learn about the content of the game here.
More updates planned: We’ve got even more Store upgrades, skins and other fun stuff planned for future updates. Keep playing Hungry Giraffe after launch to get your updates for free!
Sounds awesome doesn’t it? And while I may be a bit biased :) I think it plays awesomely as well.
Before I go I’d like to give a big thank you to our group of external testers who’ve been helping us ensure that the game works perfectly on all the iPhone and iPad models.
That’s all for today but we’ve got more to say about the iPhone version of Hungry Giraffe so come back next week for some more exciting updates from Laughing Jackal.
Until then, why not on join us on our Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google+ pages?

Interesting transition from PSN minis to iOS release. Are any of these updates under consideration (aside from the in-app purchases and being free) for the minis release?
@EdEN Afraid not. Most of them either can't be done on a Mini or have been added to make it a better fit on iPhone.
