Elefunk is the latest puzzle title to hit PlayStation Store. Its concept is a bizarre twist on the genre; it takes Elephants and dumps them in a jungle full of flimsy bridges - and without your help the bridges will collapse if they so much as step foot on it. Read more
The goal of each level is simple: Get an elephant (or two) from its starting platform to the end of the level by building a network of ropes and bridges using a finite pool of construction pieces. If you don't know what a truss is or possess little understanding of weight distribution, you'll have a rough start; the tutorial doesn't help a whit, and the game doesn't exactly ease you into things. For all but the most architecturally inclined, it's a lot of trial and error... Read more
However, when you finally watch your pachyderm dancing, safe at his destination, the sense of satisfaction is almost obscene: and this is what’ll keep you coming back for more.

You really do get to fly elephants evel knievel style... Read more
$5 - yes, its only $5 for this PSN Store game with enough to warrent a BUY. BTW, this is more India themed than African. My GF loves this game even though her love for India and Elephants makes her very sad when she see the scared lil elephents shaking in fear. I on the other don't feel like retrying a level over and over just to end in failure. Its also a great drinking game in multiplayer, take a shot or huge drink everytime the collapses. Read more
