After appearances on both PlayStation Minis and PlayStation Mobile, Laughing Jackal’s excellent endless runner Hungry Giraffe is heading to the PlayStation Vita for thirds. The upgraded re-release will boast a bevy of new features, including full Trophy support and online leaderboards. It’ll also implement a handful of new skins, allowing you to scoff your way to the stars as an emu, reindeer, or snake.
Greedy gamers will be able to spend calories in a new in-game storefront, unlocking ace upgrades designed to give you an advantage in your eating endeavours. One new power-up in particular, the ‘Angel Feather’, will give a new lease of life when you’re falling to your doom.
We were quite fond of Hungry Giraffe when we reviewed the Minis version last year, awarding the digital download a favourable 7/10. If you’re unfamiliar with the gameplay, check out the trailer for the PlayStation Mobile version in the space below. Look out for our full interview with Laughing Jackal later in the week.

I am excited for this. I really enjoyed Hungry Giraffe.
adding trophies and leaderboards is always a significant upgrade for me.
@Squiggle55 Agreed! The lack of leaderboards was one of my main gripes with the original. You may as well add a point to the original score now!
Worst. Game. Ever.
I might have to stop visiting this website now.
It's not that I don't like time wasters - JetPack Joyride or it's ilk are fine - there are tons of PSN Minis which are practically full games - Fieldrunners for one - but this game just SUCKED. It doesn't even work like a giraffe, it looks like an ostrich or flamingo.
Sammy, how can you diss Angry Birds so much for years but actually like this garbage? I just don't get it. Angry Birds Star Wars is practically Uncharted 2 compared to this. ugh
@rjejr What didn't you like about it?
I thought this game was OK. I played the PS Mobile version and I liked it but I don't think I need to buy it again. It got old after a couple of hours which is fine for the price I paid for it. They need to build in some Jetpack Joyride hooks of unlocks to keep people going.
