Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
The LittleBigPlanet USER LEVELS thread.
- Thread starter Ranger X
- Start date
I cannot believe there isn't more complaining about how bad the search and filters are for playing good levels. I tried to go back and play it this morning, but it's nigh impossible to find fun levels to play. They need to do a rankings list or something instead of this cute but impractical world idea.
My level created in the Beta and updated using beta-only stickers & materials:
name: MR STAMP!
PSN: snowflakecat
Location: Below Greenland
Info: Since this is a beta level, it has platforming ideas that were once fresh but now overused. The level is moderately difficult with emphasis on the player knowing about LBP jump, plane-shifting, and material mechanics. A player who masters LBP platforming mechanics should have little to no problem finishing the level!
*I know about the typo. I fixed it in the latest update!
Features:
* 1P and 2P paths!
* Basic 2P puzzles!
* Platforming mayhem!
* Plenty of checkpoints to help the average player
* Hidden Areas!
* Rockets!
* Boss!
*subtle GAF references!
Enjoy and please leave me some feedback in this thread, on PSN, or in the comments. Thanks!

Well I just noticed something. Not sure if anyone else knew this but the search function also uses text in a levels description box. Which would explain why I always get the weirdest levels when I search. I typed in Portal because I was looking for this great portal inspired level from the beta. I was greeted by a level called The Orange Box which piqued my curiosity and sure enough the only word in the description was portal. I think tonight I will update all my level descriptions to include the level title and other commonly searched for words.

Good find! I will update my level too.
Thanks for putting my level in the OP!
I started the game today and saw that my hearts and plays nearly doubled, the I come here and find out why!:lol
Hopefully my next level will be done soon. I've almost finished the game play part of it, then I just need to add some polish. It should be ready before next week.

Yeah, I hear you. I guess it's just the fact that I FINALLY got it out there (even though it's not the greatest it took a while to get it to work... I can't emphasize that enough
) and a buddy of mine who puts together random materials with some rope swings gets double the hits and hearts. Mind boggling lol. I will definitely be doing another but I'm focusing on 100 percenting the actual game first. Just have the bunker to ace and a X2 in the dojo and I'm done.

I'll be sure to edit and re-publish that very soon. And yeah, the way you are supposed to get on the rose lift is by jumping on Rosemeo's arm, lol. :lol

Oh man, we're gonna have a meta-tag contest with people pimping their descriptions with search tags :/
I'm kind of stuck at the moment. I have a couple of ideas but nothing developed really far. Maybe you could help me decide.
Either a graphically simple puzzle-heavy level made entirely from grabbable plush cushions, or a story level somewhat similar to the original ninja levels? For the second idea, I had plans for some really intricate animated puppets but it turned out they didn't work... which gave me the idea for the story of the level.

Wurm sent me something
Amazing work as usual.

I've enjoyed making a level at a leisurely pace so far. I know people are eager to play the next installment, but it's quite early on and I havent gotten too far yet as I was refining some concepts. But after the madcap rush to finish the 1st before the end of the Beta (I lost my entire almost finished 1st level to the save corruption plague!) and then blast out the 2nd early on after the retail releases its been nice to go at my own pace. Anyway, heres some pics of the characters from the 3rd episode:
Of course BestMan is back!
This level is all about the gophers! Level starts off in a mountain range, but you'll soon learn a new interesting digging mechanic I've created to take the level underground...
r Ivor.E won't be the main villain in this episode, but his lackeys the Tusk Force will be! Gonna have fun with them in several boss encounters hopefully!
Look forward to Sackhouette 3, currently under construction!
Amazing work as usual.

- My first published level. I think it turned out really nice. I had a blast making it with my two boys (ages 6 and 8).
- North America; Near Florida.

Sorry for the lack of audio and crappy video, it's my first go at recording video for posting to the interweb.
If you get a moment, check it out and provide feedback. It took us a pretty long time to make (somewhere around 24 hours according to my wife). I really love playing through most all of the creations posted in this thread so far so I hope you like mine!
Thanks for this thread!

There's an easy way to do that part! You're supposed to "lay low" and go to the pink spots. If you stay near the pink spots at the bottom of the pillars you won't be crushed! The hint Mr. Stamp gives is "After a fight, it's best to lay low." Also I think by that part you know that pink colored areas have a special significance. In the beginning, Mr. Stamp says "Follow the pink!" To be honest, I don't know how to make it any clearer. If you want to know the trick to completing the level with ease you can add me on PSN and we can go through the level together. I'd like to know which parts you think need work.
LBC1 - <ERADISACK> updated! (check page 8 for game details)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st major update:
Notes: Intended to lengthen game. First turn no longer has a major advantage. Game more balanced.
*Angle RESETS after firing
*Light Cannon has a front shield (weakness: rear)
*Heavy Cannon has a rear shield (weakness: front)
*Heavy Cannon firing range expanded
*~50 second shared timer. Your timer will eventually run out (will not reset time per turn). This is similar to a SRPG, where a greater speed attribute (the faster you make your turn) will result in a quicker pass condition for your opponent (given that your opponent is slower than you in taking his turn).
*Score Bubble for the winner!
*Tutorial updated to reflect these changes
Enjoy!

I made some changes to my early build, if anyone wants to give it a try. I would recommend wearing a glow in the dark skin on your sackboy since the level is very dark. I did try to lighten it up a bit. Leave a comment if you have opinion on it. Also mention your level and Ill give it a run.

I really think its impossible for me to make an easy level. I thought this one was too easy but I have yet to have somone complete it. Stay away from the dark areas if you want a quick run.

Was Azure Palace taken down again? I can't find it anywhere
I just published my second level.
It's 2 player mini-game. You dig in order to find bubbles and get the best score. You can activate "traps" to slow down the other player and also generate bubbles in a bonus room near the end where both players can enter.
It's called Dig It!, my PSN ID is RangerZero.
I will put some screens tomorrow.

My new 2 levels:
- Motocross Fest - Day 1
- Motocross Fest - Day 2
(location: near Portugal/ England)
The Bike (SAKA TTR 700) have realistic front and rear suspension. The levels are detailed, fast with some stunts, and work like a roller-coaster experience. Just give it full throttle and enjoy the ride. (More fun in multiplayer, when things can go wrong).
Reach the end and you keep the bike.
The screen is from Day 1, its in the desert. The day 2 is in the jungle and the bike have another colour.
Day 3 (maybe the last) already running in my mind, maybe one more week until its finished.
Hope you guys enjoy it.

Ranger and I just play tested Dig It. The only thing we found was that if you get squished and die, you cannot spawn until the end and you are effectively out of first. If any creators can make a few run through maybe you all can suggest a way to keep the players on their sides while still making it competitive if a sack is squished.
Great mini-game everyone should heart it, be sure to have a friend though.
Edit: Ranger, maybe have a door near the spawn blocking the bonus area until both sacks are on a button, this should give them equal momentum at the end. Just a thought.
DeadGzuz said:
Yes it is indeed the solution.
You know, the possible squashing is intended. Sure it would be ideal to respawn before the end but there is a need for a possibility of dying/losing other than just the points. I want it to help the stress and speed of the game, just like the player that will speed up his digging when he's getting offscreen because of the other player digging too fast.
- I will redesign the bonus room and make a dissolvable door with a "timer". It will give the couple of seconds needed for the respawning player to be able to reach it.
- I'm also glancing at changing the shape of the room so the players can enter the bonus room by 2 different entrances. This will create a little gamble situation about how will collect the most out of the bonus room.
- Lastly i'm going to add a spawn gate in the beginning right after the start pole so if both players are dying they will be back in the game faster.

Whoa at the cycle.
Nothing here...but im using trend micro so...
Also I really want to try to recreate the initial launch sequence of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW-wNgDoaKM for my final Black Army Saga stage.
Really need to finish my second stage...been getting sidetracked. Dunno if there is enough vertical room in the stages though. Really wish the rockets could have timed directions set to them as well. Trying to make some airplane enemies, but I might have to make them non-destructible obstacle droppers or something like that.

Aenima nice bike.
I have a quick play through of my level. I didn't hit any of the puzzles or secrets. This is just a straight line to the exit. I did show the entrances to a couple other areas
