Elefunk. It’s Not What You Think.

By Paul Munn | July 17, 2008

Elefunk isn’t what I think of when merging the words elephant and funk, anyway. Elefunk is a new puzzler coming to the PlayStation Store today in which you build bridges and then have your pachyderm pals march up and down and across it, lemmings style, to get to the proverbial other side.

I’m not one for puzzle games, unfortunately, but even I’m impressed with its low $4.99 price tag, and it will come with a free demo as well. Not everything on the PSN gets a demo, and I’m rather shocked that a game this inexpensive is getting one.

“This game uses real world physics – you must carefully select the proper materials to build a solid structure that is able to hold crossing elephants over these outrageous terrains and precarious situations. Play in three game modes, including Puzzle, where you must build with a limited amount of materials;Time Attack, where you race against the clock; and Multiplayer ‘Deconstruction’ mode, where you have to carefully remove pieces without causing the structure to fall.”

Another way it’s not what I expect? No trophy support.
