My Companion Bomb
byshookie_monster
[1 PLAYER RECOMMENDED---DIFFICULTY: HARD] The Bomb Factory is now hiring! It's the job people are dying to get. Congratulations potential employee. You have made it to the final selection process! If you want the job then all you need to do is carry a bomb all the way through the Bomb Factory. Sounds easy enough, right?
It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of playing a level over and over and over again, until at long last, I reached the scoreboard. I know I played this level at least fifty times and each time was a pure blast..er..pardon the pun. Trying to get this bomb to the finish line is no simple task. The path is riddled with contraptions and delicate platforming. One misstep, one awkward bounce or even just blinking at the wrong time, will guarantee you being blown to smithereens. The level is challenging no doubt, but it fun as all get out and I cannot wait to go give it another go, especially seeing how someone as knocked me down a peg on the leaderboard!
Think before you jump. Should be Think before you die while jumping. This enjoyable level will make you jump for anticipation in this every so exciting bomb carrying factory. You are greeted by a worker whom will want to have a few helpful words of advice before destroying your only needs of surviving. THE ONLY CHECKPOINT! This makes the level a real challenge. Shookie has made this level a real treat for all whom plays this. So what are you waiting for get to your PS3 and play this explosively awesome level today.
It's hard enough for me to platform in this game already and now I am coupled with the task of traversing a Shookie masterpiece while holding an explosive package :P So be careful, cause just one ill timed jump or layer change will lead to KABLOOYEE!!! So if anyone is looking to turn even the most easiest of tasks into an enjoyful burden, then it's simple, just add a device that will go KABLAMO!! at the ever so soft touch of a feather. After many tries I have concluded, I once again will not come close to cracking the top ten in one of those levels you can't help, but to replay over and over again and not even realize, O wow I just played that level a heck of a lot of times, cause why, cause it's phenomenal. Kudos to you again Shookie
The cream and the clocktower
byzecros4
[SET BRIGHTNESS (GAMMA) TO 100%][1 PLAYER] As you enter this level you find some very strange happenings, grabinators, magnets, cosmetics and a BATH!? what have you got yourself into... ALSO! if you get separated from your block simply "pop" and it should be reset. Music by NK827. WARNING: may contain traces of puzzle platformer gameplay.Well sackboy is once again tasked with helping someone accomplish some sort of goal, this one is a wee bit...strange though. I enter the level and am greeted by some chap taking a bath. He asks if I will get his lotion for him. Let's see here. In my adventures, I have had to find glasses, cheese, shirts, pants, bombs, keys, animals of all sorts, bananas and a host of other things, but never have I had to get someone lotion. I was a bit afraid this was going to turn into a Silence of the Lambs and if this guy asked me to put the lotion in the basket, I was going to run right out of there! The level itself if very well designed with a great atmosphere and really clever gameplay. Trust me, you'll have fun running this awkward errand. Play it.
Well, that was unexpected! There you are, minding your own business (well, sort of) exploring this clock tower, when a strange man suddenly appears in his mobile bathroom of all things. Seemingly unembarrassed to be caught mid bath, he starts to chat amiably (!?!), apparently under the impression that what you’d really like to do right now is not get the heck out of there, but go and investigate some cream he claims has miracle properties. Riiiiiiiight, suuuuure! What’s more, it turns out that following him in his bathotron (sic) is not the easy ride you might think. It involves solving various brain teasing magnetic puzzles and then when you actually get to the cream, your situation only gets worse. To demonstrate its wonderful properties, you’re asked to pass some tricky tests involving brushes with lightning fast crushers and strategically placed spikes! Sounds tempting, huh? Well against the odds, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. It’s idiosyncratic, full of faintly lugubrious atmosphere and great puzzle based gameplay which will have you scratching your head as you attempt to get through unscathed. Play it now! Bathroom could do with a lick of paint though…
Hey random guy, who just happens to be taking a bath that moves throughout the tower to follow me around and give me advice and such so I can collect a trunk load of random items :P. I love the charm this level spews from every floor and dialogue sequences with the man in the scrub a dub dub tub. The platforming puzzles were well thought out and executed. So go use those trusty magnets to scoot you up and shoot some hoops. This is a fantastic level that I enjoyed playing very much and feel smarter for doing so. Kudos to you Zecros
Felizitas Summerhouse
byZ1091990
1-2 P L A Y E R ( 1 PLAYER recommended for the best experience) welcome to Felizitas Summerhouse she isn't at home but feel free to explore her gorgeous residence and enjoy it ..... song by breezy-the-pro - NebulaWhoever coined the phrase poetry in motion knew what they were about. Watching the various contraptions in Z1091990’s level whir, lift and slide into place with perfect timing, you can see the beauty of it all. It’s like a skilfully choreographed dance, with each platform, lever and piston moving in sync and contraptions folding and unfolding almost miraculously before your eyes. The setting is simple but beautiful too, with a lovely warm, sunlit feel to it. It’s not all about relaxing and admiring the mechanics though; there are hazards too in this gorgeous summerhouse and getting those prize bubbles without dying is not always easy. Z1091990 has created a wonderful melding of mechanics and gameplay in a setting all golden brown...golden brown texture like sun, never a frown with golden brown...Sorry, just seemed so fitting and now I can’t get that tune out of my head! Anyway, it’s an impressive feat of design from Z1091990 and a level for anyone with a love of mechanical marvels.
Whooo!! this level is contraptionally genius. The mechanics of moving parts was freaking amazing and caused me to die on purpose just so I could constantly replay it, just to watch the moving parts all work in sync with each other. From flipping platforms scooting across the room to pulling lever type sections to I don't even know how to describe the mechanics cause they seem to be above my head. Which is sad cause I am an engineer o.O So I guess naturally I am drawn to these sort of levels, but this one go's far and beyond and to anyone else who is drawn to reactionary elements of motion platforming, then this is definitely up your alley for sure. Flawless execution and design brought forth from ingenious mechanics awed me to disbelief that there is still amazing clockwork creations being created in LBP Kudos to you Z1091990
MINI STONE AGED (Mini game/Platformer)
byRtooDee2
A PLATFORMER with 3 MINI GAMES thrown in for fun! The Cavemen and Dinosaur have become extinct due to an unforgiving thermometer, so step up and travel through the land that time forgot! BIG POINT bonus'ess-es can be made here! Thanks to my testers who will be in my heart forever. Music by the fella himself Buddydestruction. This level was brought to you by FlinterStone Ind.
I love Prehistoric levels. I truly do and this one here has got to be one of the most fun, unique and clever levels I have seen of that genre. Rtoo has done an exquisite job of blending platformer and mini-game, or in this case, mini-games, as there are three cool games to play in order to rack up some mega points. The games consist of bashing points, catching eggs and a cool matching faces game. All three will test your reflexes so be prepared. The platforming sections are something almost straight out of the Flintstones, there's even a Flintstones car! An excellent level that is very deserving of that pink ribbon it just got. If you haven't yet, play it now.
Well, nice to know my reflexes are as shot as I thought, lol :S Still I had a blast in this pre-historic playground. It’s tempting to rush through, especially in the race section, but don’t miss all the wonderful details which give this level its appeal, from sarcastic signs to awesome bongo drum platforms. It’s colourful and full of quirky, cartoon style charm. The games themselves are addicting and fun, especially with friends, as you try to rack up those highscoring combos and they’re beautifully linked together by some great platforming segments. Levels like this put the joy back into LBP. Great job!
