Hi everyone. I’m back again a bit sooner than expected with some Hungry Giraffe news for you. Having spoken to Sony today they told us they liked Hungry Giraffe so much they couldn’t wait until the 8th of February to release it.
So, SCEE have decided to move Hungry Giraffe’s release date forward a week, meaning it will now be released on the 1st of February exclusive to PlayStation + before going on general release on the 15th February.
Personally I can’t wait until next Wednesday and neither can our giraffe. In fact, our giraffe was so excited he created a brand new trailer to keep you occupied for a few more days until the release of Hungry Giraffe.
You can also check out our Hungry Giraffe page for some exciting preview screenshots. Enjoy!
Hi everyone. Things are starting to get busier here at Laughing Jackal. Work is continuing apace on “Mystery Game X” (someone is going to have to think of a catchier working title!) and we’ve now got to the point where we’re happy with the character’s movement and controls. It’s still at a very early stage at the moment, but rest assured we’ll be sharing more information on it as soon as we’ve got some stuff to show off.
We’re also still hard at work porting some of our PSN minis to the iPhone. This is something a lot of you seemed quite interested in us doing and we’re certainly looking forward to bringing the Laughing Jackal experience to a whole new audience. Our first game is going to be one of our most recent minis.
Now’s probably a good time to reassure our fans on PSN that we’ve not forgotten you and we’re delighted to reveal that Hungry Giraffe will be released on the European PSN Store on the 8th February as an exclusive to PlayStation Plus users for the price of absolutely nothing! After two weeks Hungry Giraffe will go on general release for just £2.49 (€3.49).
Moving on, as we revealed in last Friday’s blogpost, the 15/02 PSN Store update should be a good one for those of you who have yet to try some of our older games, as we’re going to be releasing three fantastic bundles at amazingly low prices.
Finally, we have a bit of a rare treat for you as our producer, Al, escaped his handlers to talk to PlayStation Crowd for a massive 2 and a half hours (O_o) on their latest CrowdCast. Fortunately, Al was safely recaptured soon afterwards, but not before revealing Laughing Jackal’s deepest darkest secrets (well, not quite! )
That’s all for now, but if there’s anything else you’d like to ask us we’re always available on our Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages. Or you could ask us in the comments here.
Well the experiments were indeed foul and unholy. They were also a lot faster than I expected. So in addition to this week’s range of price cuts I can now reveal more details of the bundles which will shortly be making their way onto the PlayStation Store.
Our first bundle is for all the fans of space shooters out there, as we’re combining the side-scrolling thrills of Ace Armstrong vs. the Alien Scumbagswith the puzzle shooting of Stellar Attack. Our Ace Armstrong / Stellar Attackbundle will cost you just £3.99 (€4.99).
Our second bundle combines two of our most popular puzzle games: the mini that started it all, Cubixx, and our take on the rhythm game genre, Vibes. Again, the Cubixx / Vibesbundle will cost just £3.99 (€4.99).
Finally we’ve got a treat for those of you who just want to experience the classic RPG fun of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone’s Fighting Fantasy series on your PSP or PS3 as we’re going to be combining both our Fighting Fantasy adaptations Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death and Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain into one bargain package with our Fighting Fantasy: Talisman and Warlock bundle priced at only £4.99 (€5.99).
All of these great deals will be available on PSN from Wednesday the 15th of February with North American releases coming soon. So between this and our recently announced price cuts there’s never been a better time to try out our back catalogue.
