The creator of the level is active on another forum that I'm also active on. He's surprised with the attention to say the least. I still can't get over it how he did it, but it took him about a week of constantly working on it. For now, he can't bear the sight of any sackboy anymore.

It means that VITAs with LBP preinstalled will be sold on ebay for 20.000
All I can say about LBP on the Vita is it's a mind buggeringly good game and you have to keep pinching yourself to remember it's on a handheld. Everything from the console game and its expansions is there in one form or another. About the only fault I can find with it is some of the touch levers are unresponsive.
Not sure I'd ever want to play Flappy Bird on it though.

What the heck...? Damn. Take a bow son, take a bow.
I don't understand the attention either. If he would've invested that time into real programming, he'd be better off. LBP is like these Guitar Hero games - fun on the first sight, but investing your time and money into the real thing is just way better. LBP was never a good game.

The attention grabber is that he was able to re-create a game to be near identical to the orignal by using a more limited toolset, and making a game inside a game. If he made this game in a pure programing lanugage instead, it would be a lot less impressive since it has already been done so many times before. Thats the difference.
I think you're misunderstanding what's impressive about this. I imagine the same misunderstanding is a large part of why you seem to dislike LBP.

Idk how this is possible in LBP. Must have taken a ton of work.
Got LBP with my Vita "Mega Pack" (which it cost me less than a base Vita plus memory card) and quickly deleted it because I hated the look of Sackboy and the intro.
Downloading again right now. I spent countless hours with Wario Ware DIY and the Bangai-O Spirits level editor, and I´ve been in the mood for some level creation stuff recently. Maybe I can make my own little shmup, which is something I´ve been toying with in my head for years!
Some people just enjoy exploring the limitations of a platform. They do it because it´s more challenging that way. It´s a fun excercise and not meant to be "the real thing".

Wow. I remember when someone did the first Zelda dungeon too. Amazing

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--like saying that Legos were never a good toy, and that anyone who plays with them is wasting their time because they're not sculpting.
It's play, dude. People are playing with a construction set. To think that's a tragedy or a lost opportunity woefully misunderstands humanity.

I agree with this. I really enjoyed the mini-game levels, but some of them were also pretty unresponsive. One of them which was like curling was very erratic.
Yeah, I don't think the series gets enough credit.
Well of course the customisation in Tearaway is very limited compared to LBP, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Nobody plays through the Tearaway tutorial an expects to be able to build their own levels and engineer devices like you can in LBP. They're trying to achieve completely different things.
Same here. I thought it was something that plays like Flappy Bird with some LBP aesthetics present. I never thought it look exactly like Flappy Bird.
Thank you for your answer! I assume you are part of the dev team of LBP? If so, good job!
When you say that the jump behavior is different now, is it only in the DC levels, or the whole LBP2? Thanks.
Well said
Thanks! Yes, I worked on LBPV and the DC pack amongst other things.
What I meant is that the jump behavior is different in LBPV compared to LBP2. It's a little less floaty in LBPV. Things haven't changed in LBP2 since launch with regards to that.

Maybe it's not an ideal topic to put this on but I don't think this game deserves another thread. A port just got released for... Commodore 64. It seems that 64kB is enough for a bird.

I don't understand, how is it possible to create that?
The design of the game is completely changed, how?
