Elefunk - Play & Help

Anyone bought this yet? Wondering what the general consensus is.

Its only £4.99 so it may be worth a chance. I liked PJ Monsters and this seems a similar thing (puzzle game)

Comments ?

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

I'm enjoying it so far but finding it very hard, it took me about 2 hours to complete about 12 levels.

Its worth the £4.99 IMO

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

Elefunk is really good fun, definately worth 4.99. Took me ages to get past the first level! (oops!)

reminds me of this really addicitve and simple Bridge Builder game on the PC (free downloadable game) where you have to build bridges for trains to go over.

Good purchase, appeals more to me than superstardust etc

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

My elephant needs to go on a diet...

Yeah fun but hard.

I felt a slight annoyance this morning when i saw the yanks get both a demo on their PSN store, and the full game only costs them us$4.99 (ie: £2.49) - must be the higher cost of storing the boxes and using more expensive European fuel to deliver the electrons to your PS3

I've been stuck on it now for about 45mins

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

Bought it this morning, while waiting for a delivery to arrive. I used to love Lemmings on the PC, and this is proving to be just as much a challenge.

Loving it so far, though only completed first 4 or 5 so levels. Rather scarey how fast the japanese seem to be completing the levels, and with about 1/2 the amount of materials i'm using.

For some reason my scores do not seem to be saving, but that does not matter to me at moment. Don't think i'm ever going to be the faster on the leaderboards. Just happy to finish a level.

Well worth the 499

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

Yeah scores are weird. I have a few good ones, i think my best is 20th but others dont show up? Also Friends scores never show - anything at all - has this worked for anyone else?

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

i got the demo from the us store, and i never got to the game....all those warnings at the start i assumed it must be the scariest / most dangerous game to play!

it's quite good, if you like "bridge builder" (for pc) you'll like it.

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

for some reason my game does not list my scores when you select the play game. it lists all these amazing player around the world who do it in 0.000001 sec using 1/2 a rope or something, but i don't seem to have my scores remembered locally.

is there something up with my setup? or is this common with others.

re: Elefunk - Play & Help

Hmmm, OK solved this myself.

It appears that it still stores my top score, however depending what it is and if I am logged in at the time it shows different detail.

Logged into PSN
If score is below the top 999, nothing listed
If score is above the top 999, then my position and score listed

Not Logged into PSN
My score only is listed

Shame as it would be nice to be listed even if I do have a rubbish score.

Hmmm alot of work to do on some levels, it appears I am grossly over using bars etc. compared to the top scores.
Also it would seem that some people can press about 1000 buttons in 2sec to get the top scores. It takes me 12-15 sec to do the same thing :/
