Sack of Persia 2 - The Planetarium by TOBSn08/TOBSn08

Search for the Paintinator of Time in the Planetarium.

If you've played the first Sack of Persia, you'll know what's in store in this spectacular sequel - awesome and very unique visuals, ingenious, challenging platforming and great secrets! One of the best temple-esque levels I've ever seen, you will love the challenge of dodging electrified obstacles and finding every last concealed diamond.

Holguin86

For the hardcore and those who thrive on challenge. Multiple moving circles and platforms will challenge even the best players in this fantastically complex level. Electric and spike hazards are everywhere and timing is critical if you hope to see the scoreboard. Another brilliant and beautiful level that really brings the challenge too.

Morgana25

The first level in the Sack of Persia series was an absolute gem, so there were high expectations for its direct sequel. Thankfully, Sack of Persia 2 delivers even more beautiful environments and fantastic platforming than the first! More hidden secrets unlock a fantastic minigame that you won't want to miss either, so get searching! SoP 2 - The Planetarium is an inspired and ingenious level that you've simply got to play.

Duffluc

Just as ever TOBSn08 has presented us with a masterfully crafted, tricky gad, with the soft and serene blues and greys being juxtaposed with dastardly platforming. Expect great and original set pieces and some clever twists on old favourites.

The Wise Owl by bonner123/bonner123

Sackboy travels to the Sky Mountain Temple in the hopes of meeting the Wise Owl. This level is the second in my music pack level series. There are a bunch of secrets and easter eggs to find in this level, unlke my other levels. Gameplay isn't the most innovative, but hopefully it will still be fun. Special thanks to killzonequinn07 for making the owl because i'm quite rubbish at character design.

Built in classic bonner style, this fiendishly designed level will have you dodging swinging spike blades, talking to giant birds and enjoying the scenery. Another tightly polished level from bonner123 that shouldn't be missed.

Holguin86

With a bunch of solid puzzles and platforming, all lovingly bundled with an expertly executed theme and a handful of internet meme's, The Wise Owl may not be a super whizz-bang flashy level, but If I had to think of some words to describe it (and I do, remember? ^^) , i'd call it 'Solid', 'Satisfying' and 'Sssssss-Good fun'

Asbestos101

Eclectic as always, bonner123 brings more platforming goodness to your ps3. Every kind of platforming imaginable is in this level and the fun doesn't stop! Lots of R1 action, swinging, jumping, and every combination of the above make for a varied and complex experience too. All the usual randomness you'd expect from bonner123 is here too in the form of mudkips and portal references. Lighthearted and wild, it's another classic bonner123 level.

Morgana25

Bonner continues his hot streak of great levels with The Wise Owl, a fun and entertaining romp through a towering temple. Great level design and polished visuals along with some quirky humor and of course, mudkipz, keep this level fresh and fun throughout.

Rebuilding Imagination by Tehgamebuilder/Tehgamebuilder

A very detailed post apocalyptic level that is candy to the eye. A real shocker to anyone who wants to see what earth would look like after a worm has eaten half of it!

It's always nice when people capture the ever-charming apocalypse scenario so succinctly and with such panache (Ok, i'll stop using fruity words now) but the the scenery in bang on the money. Not that eye candy is all you sign up for when you play this level, prepare to pick your way through very tricky terrain as everything collapses around you!

Asbestos101

The apocalypse depicted with stylized rubble and some lovely if drab lighting effects make this a beautifully melancholy level to play. The premise is a little wacky given the serious atmosphere of the level and keeps things from getting too serious. If climbing over ruined buildings and winding your way though debris is your thing, load this one up.

Morgana25

Navigate your way through the aftermath of a giant space-worm attack on the planet in this detailed and immersive apocalyptic level. The setting is absolutely dripping with subtle touches that make this a treat to explore.

Danger in The Subway (Remake) parts 1 and 2 by xQziCyFlaMeZxQz/xQziCyFlaMeZxQz

You are lost in an abandoned subway station. There are two parts to play here.

There's a great atmosphere in this level, induced by the subtle lighting, detailed visuals and some clever use of sound. Everything is stickered to perfection, right down to the little rust stickers on the boxes you will be using to solve puzzles, and the custom-made brick stickers on the walls. Dark, gloomy and awesome to look at, these levels will be 10 minutes well spent.

Holguin86

Travel underground for our next level, into a dark and dingy world created by the masterful xQziCyFlaMeZxQz. Two parts of a fantastic series are showcased here, and will have you begging for more superb gameplay and top-notch visuals. Are you ready to take this ride?

Coxy224

I never played the original levels to this series, but I don't think they're needed to enjoy this great remake. Great stickering and lighting keep the level looking nice and spooky, while the challenging platforming really grabs your attention. Don't miss these two awesome levels!

Duffluc

A Shroomey Place to Dance! by Keith-Midnight/Keith-Midnight

A very colourful cartoon styled level with insane frogs and swearing mushroomz!

Once you get into the groove of this level you'll find it hard to not dance along with alarmingly hyperactive denizens of Keith-Midnight's trippy little world. Everything bobs up and down charmingly and the character design is pretty crazy too, all delivered with a very disarmingly quirky sense of humor :P

Asbestos101

Very unique palette of colors make this a cheerful and cartoony level. Cute and charming characters and mushrooms give it a whimsical feeling while the gameplay is kept to a minimum through most of the level. One for the casual player and those who appreciate stylized visuals.

Morgana25

This funky little level is bursting at the seams with charm and character. The blindingly bright colour palette coupled with the wavy and wonderful shapes and shrooms really keep you enthralled in this wacky world. A great boss at the end that's as unique as the rest of the level really tops it all off!

Mining Mishaps by standby250/standby250

You are Sackboy, and once again you find yourself in a troublesome situation. For one reason or another, you have decided that it would be a good idea to lower yourself into an abandoned mine. Obviously, because you are made solely of stuffing, it turns out that your idea wasn't such a clever one after all, and you must then struggle to find your way to safety, using different objects in the mine to aid your journey - such as leftover explosives, and movable mining carts. So why not join our hero on yet another quest?

This level just proves that theres still mileage in those tried and true themes such as the Mines! A very claustrophobic level with a very tight and well selected material and lighting set, mine carts and perilous leaps acros gaps of certain death await you in this little underground gad.

Asbestos101

Never have I seen a mine that needed a safety audit as much as this one. This frantic mine themed level will have you fight for survival against diverse and unique hazards in an excellent looking and well designed environment. See if you can avoid mishap in these mines!

Survival Line by jwwphotos/jwwPhotos

Welcome to Survival Line - A co-op survival challenge where the cooperation of your team can help keep you alive.. but for how long? One player plays as the gunner clearing the large objects out of the way as well as sending down a much needed paint gun for the others running the line. The runners are in charge of well... staying alive for as long as possible!! Quite fun and addictive, but could be considered hard! For 2 - 4 players with cooperation as well as quite a bit of strategy.

How much can you trust your friends? Really? That much? I wouldn't be so sure, why not task them to take point as the gunner in Jww's new co-operative survival challenge and see how much your "friendship" pays off! This level definatly puts an interesting spin on the old conveyor belt survival, and we all know things are more interesting when genuinely tricky co-op is involved. If you can nab a friend (or an enemy) you should give this one a whirl!

Asbestos101

Grab a few friends and take on this nail biter of a survival challenge from jwwphotos. Speed and strategy are required if your a runner and keeping an eye on your pals so they don't shoot you into fiery debris with their paintinators doesn't hurt either. Not up for running? Take on the role of the gunner and protect your pals on the line by dispatching the big debris. Challenging, fun and very unique. Check this level out to see what attention to detail, craftsmanship and a commitment to having fun can do to make a unique experience.

Morgana25

Good co-operative survival levels are few and far between, which is exactly what makes this great challenge a real treat. As one person tries to clear the way, the others will do their best to survive as long as possible. Amazingly fun to play with friends, and looks just as good too!

Death Swamp by RangerZero/RangerZero

This is the last day of training for Sackboy. If he succeeds this last test/exam, he might be accepted in the AJS (Army Of The Jumping Sacks). But it will not be an easy test that's for sure because it's a course held in the famous "Death Swamp". Yes, the place where many Sackboys died for real...

You will be replaying and replaying this cracker of a level in a vain attempt to reach the hiscore, squashing a few frogs along the way. A great level to compete with your friends to see who's the better LBPer. Put simply, it's green, gloopy ... and addicting!

Holguin86

Here's one for you die-hard racers, Death Swamp is the very essence of a truly grueling obstacle course sets it in some of the most beautifully unforgiving territory known to man!
Well, it's not quite THAT hard, but it's definatly hard enough to separate the Pro's from us lowly mortals. As you lie face down in a slimy puddle 400 yards back, bubbling to yourself, they'll be masterfully swinging from reed to reed to frog to reed to turtle to bridge... and securing their rightful place about 1,500 places above yours!

Asbestos101

Addictive platforming with massive score potential await you in this fantastic level from RangerZero. The genius of this level is that it plays on several levels. Casual players will enjoy the jumps and cattail swinging amidst a lush green swamp and the hardcore bubble chasers will adore the combos, secrets and hard to reach areas. Something for everyone in this cool level!

Morgana25

The Death Swamp is rightly named. It is a swamp, and you will most likely die. But don't let that discourage you from giving this brilliant level a go! Plenty of hidden secrets, bubble combos and some excellent scenery make this one place you won't mind dying in, oddly enough!

Duffluc

Black and White Planet 3 by jump_button/jump_button

This is my third black and white level, wanted to try a new take on the style. Some box puzzles nothing too hard and some other things. Wanted to take the style and really go for it - I hope it pays off.

If jump keeps knocking it up so many notches at a time, we'll be needing an entirely new scale to work from soon! At any rate, this level is a blissfully gourgeous addition to Jump's elegantly underspoken Black & White series. There have been many imitators but none have come close to the pure, visceral style and substance found in the originals. There's not much I can put here really, we all know what the deal is and if you aren't reading this with a understanding look in your eyes, then get on this one ASAP!

Asbestos101

High contrast graphical punch defines the Black and White series from Jump Button and in this latest in the series the visuals are even more intense than before. Lush grassy areas that look amazing in the silhouette style of the level are a nice organic contrast to the architecture of the platforming. The plant enemies are particularly neat.

Morgana25

As if the first two Black and White Planet levels weren’t beautiful enough, jump_button has blessed us all with another stunning visual onslaught. If you’ve played the other two, then you’ll know to expect platforming complimented by some of the most outstanding visuals in a while.

Coxy224

Jump-Button is back with more of his signature black and white artistry. This new installment looks even better than its predecessors, squeezing out every ounce of potential the unique silhouette effect has to offer. This level simply further defines Jump_Button as one of the best artists and creators LBP has to offer.

Duffluc

A Journey through a Mind... by Keith-Midnight/Keith-Midnight

Cartoon styled level inspired by tim burtons works. a funny and random level based on its style!

Ooh, a double spotlight? As a relative newcomer to the LBPC fold, Keith-Midnight is certainly making a splash with his pair of debut levels! His 2nd level shows his advancement as a creator as it's full to the brim with wondefully twisted character design and a very consistant neo/cartoon style. This is someone to keep an eye on

Asbestos101

A Journey Through a Mind more than successfully captures the Tim Burnton style it was inspired by. It is a fascinating and gorgeous level that delivers some great gameplay and artistic, enigmatic visuals that will enthrall you. The mind of this creator must be a beautiful and interesting place indeed.

DRAGON SLAYER - 6 LEVELS by Jaeyden and CENTURION24/Jaeyden and CENTURION24

6 level Epic dragon hunting collaboration.

Many people have created many series's of levels since the birth of LBP in novemenber '08 ,but not many have been created so whole-heartedly with a massive sense of scale as the Dragon Slayer series by Centurion24/Jaeydon. This six part series has to be some of the finest and highest level craftsmanship possible in LBP1, with the metaphorical bar being raised in so many ways. Starting with a very cleverly designed prologue, through the physical platforming of the keep and concluding with some massive boss fights, this series really is a cut above. If you've got a tidy little half hour to spend on littlebigplanet tonight, make sure it's this one; You won't be dissapointed.

Asbestos101

Every once and awhile a level series is made that changes the face of LBP forever. This is one of them. Prepare to rethink how a level's scale can be made, how objects and decorations can be used and the power of custom stickers. Amazing visuals transport players into a world that is so big it takes 6 levels to tell the tale. Excellent storytelling and innovative gameplay truly make this feel like a game outside of LBP. You owe yourself the opportunity to experience this masterpiece made by two legendary creators that never cease to amaze with their talent for innovation and style.

Morgana25

These collective levels must make up one of the most ambitious and well realized projects ever undertaken in the LBP universe. It is a series like no other. Everything in these levels seems absolutely perfect, from the grand castles to the terrifying dragons. Yet trying to sum up this tremendous level series in but a few sentences is almost a sin in itself, so I'll simply tell you what you should already be doing: Go and play them. Now.

FIRESTARTER by ladylyn1/Ladylyn1

A futuristic virtual reality game show with a super fast pace. The founder, champion and record holder known as FIRE-START needs to be challenged; will anyone beat his score?

If fast paced platforming gets your motor running load up this hot little level where time is not on your side. Oranges, yellows and reds in bright flat colors make the platforms an attractive backdrop for the climbing, swinging, jumping and sliding challenges provided. Best played as a solo level.

Morgana25

I tend to hold grudges against levels like these. Mainly, because they steal hours and hours of my life away. This frenzied platformer is great in its own right, but the real killer is the addition of the "Ghost mode". Racing against the image of Firestarter himself is challenging, invigorating and an absolute blast. Just don't be surprised if you happen to look up at the clock after a couple of runs, and find yourself two hours late for work.

Duffluc

A real trailblazer of a level here, lightning fast obstacles with a long timer give you plenty of sneaky ways to shave precious seconds off the clock and the nice, gameshow-ey colours help you to see whats coming up. The Ghost 'replay' mode of a top scoring player is a particularly clever little addition, but if your anything like me it'll be gone in mere moments, ready and waiting for you past the finish line. Best as a solo experience.

Loch'd Up! Part 1 by Bombw87/Bombw87

Sackboy has travelled to Scotland in search of the Loch Ness Monster. The adventure begins in a village next to the loch.

This level is gorgeous, there's no other word for it. One moment you're skipping happily along through a beautiful Gardens-esque area with awesome houses - then you take the boat-ride from hell and land yourself in the creepiest loch you could ever imagine. Beautiful and yet full of intriguing gameplay, this level will make you WANT to find the Loch Ness Monster - and that's saying something.

Holguin86

Cute, cartooney and very imaginative this is a fun level! Awesomely lit underwater areas and a cleverly told story make this level really stand out from the crowd.

Morgana25

Prepare yourself for the Loch Ness monster like you've never seen it before! This sublime level has you encounter the legendary creature, explore the depths of its lake and gad through a bright and cheery town. The great visuals and premise make this a good one.

Duffluc

A monster of a level this one is. A very conservative yet elegantly underspoken art style has paid off for bombw87 as he's created such a very long yet constantly entertaining level, with goofey characters including (but not limited to) a crazy scotsman and a robo-loch ness monster! Personally, I can't wait to see where part 2 is gonna' lead us.

Asbestos101

Children of the Echo (1 Player) by drei/angiefaramarzi

Due to the thermometer this level wasn't very long linear wise but the story will be told and finished in the upcoming sequels. (one player only)

Lush, green and full of places to explore, this level was made for those who like to wander and take in visuals. You'll spend most of your time looking for the next torch to light and taking in all the lights and details. A short but lovely level for those who prefer eye candy to platforming.

Morgana25

This magical and mysterious forest is so well realized you could almost forget it's LBP you're playing. The lush, vivid visuals are absolutely perfect, and exploring this level is something you will really take your time doing, if only to try and take it all in. Great exploration and fantastic visuals make for one of the most beautiful levels I've ever seen.

Optimal Gemini .01 by NinjaMicWz/NinjaMicWz

A semi-short re-imagining of the original Seminal Gemini project, which featured the then-new 2x flying paintinator. This one is an expanded dose of the 1st half, souped up, built from scratch, and loaded with new takes on the old and a much more polished and balanced gameplay flow.(watch video)

A classic re-imagined. With a fresh coat of stickers and all the new materials that a year of dlc can provide, NinjaMicWz makes his return to LBP in style with his 2x co-op level. You and a buddy are treated to furious paintinator action while zipping around using a jetpack. Platform puzzles that will make you think all in a glorious red, silver and black abstract setting. What a great way to welcome a great creator back to the community than his inclusion in this spotlight!

Morgana25

Tall Temple Trials by Bakscratch/Bakscratch

Take a trip to the tall temple, and work your way to the top,
Its filled with lots of cool platform bits.

Precise cut materials make some splendid architecture in this temple themed level. Warm pops of orange light contrast nicely with the cool moonlit blues of the stone. Platforming ranges from from easy jumps to diabolical spike sections. A serene location for some hot platforming.

Morgana25

The latest Bakscratch level that has some epic proportions, and gameplay to match. With a gorgeous visual style and a variety of platforming, you’ll enjoy every minute of this beautiful level.

Coxy224

This great temple level from bakscratch does everything right. It has fun and enjoyable platforming, clean and well lit visuals and some great, unique obstacles. It's an absolute blast to to play through and should not be missed!

Duffluc

With pure, unadulterated gameplay being the crux of this level, an eager (yet clumsy) player may meet their downfall at the hands of precision platforming. Did I mention Bakscratch doesn't believe in infinite life spawns? For me, that really speaks worlds about his philosphy of gameplay mechanics, and if you give this level a whirl, you'll see what I mean

The Beauty of Grey by kaiju_kid/Kaiju_kid

A surreal adventure in a monochrome world... (watch video)

Stunning, abstract, stark, shocking, bizarre... These are all words that can be used to describe Kaiju_kid's latest, but somehow none of them do this level justice. The one-of-a-kind visuals are complemented perfectly with some truly fantastic gameplay, and when this one's done I promise you'll be going straight for that 'replay' button.

Taffey

kaiju_kid comes over to the psp side and delivers the goods yet again. Absorb the mind blowing scenery, attempt perilous platforming, and discover hidden secrets. Like a bizarre hybrid of Timothy Leary and Andy Warhol, this is a level you have to experience.

VelcroJonze

A beautiful art style comes to PSP with kaiju_kid’s latest level. Play your way through this piece of art by swinging jumping and platforming, and enjoy yourself the whole way. Definitely not one to miss due to its unique look and renowned creator.

Coxy224

Surrealism, cubism, pop art, and mime? This level effortlessly mixes these traditional styles to achieve a unique artistic flare that will have you pantomiming to pick your jaw off the floor. As if exquisite visuals weren’t enough, kaiju_kid paints another layer of awesomeness with fun, challenging, and fast-paced gameplay that beautifully compliments the stylish background. A PSP level? This should be hung in a museum!

A Bubbly Garden by valmassoi/valmassoi

Join Sackboy in the greatest search of bubbles in Little Big Planet History. Featuring 3 garden areas of combo-filled bubbles and secrets, high scores will be an achievement! Part 1 of 4. (watch video)

Ok, got a good chain going... 8x... doing well through this section... 11x... almost got it... *poof* DANG IT. Ok, restart. Sorry, no time to write comments for this one, too busy finding secrets and perfecting my extreme bubble chains. Ok, going through the first section again.. *poof* AGH!!! Somehow though, I love the abuse. Restart.

Taffey

I love the smell of bubble chains in the morning! There are enough bubble combos in this level for the morning, afternoon, evening, and all of next week. Whet your appetite for things that go pop in a lovely little jaunt through the garden, and see just how long you can continue your chain..... before your multiplier goes pop.

VelcroJonze

No level will have you cursing and shouting just to come back for more as much as this one. The trick to this is to keep a combo going throughout each of three well designed sections, but this simple premise quickly gives way to finding secrets, quick ways around the courses and keeping up a huge chain of bubbles. We await the next in the series with baited breath.

Coxy224

Ah…the B. ubblefloris, a rare bulbous plant endemic to the valmassoi grasslands. Harvest the plant’s potency to keep your Sack happy with high-scoring combos in this bubbalicious botanical paradise, and be sure to find all the secret spots if you want to unlock a trove at the end. Like eating Pringles on a lazy summer afternoon, you’ll find yourself saying, “Okay, one last time!” over and over again.

Forgotten Factory by Coxy224/Coxy224

When a factory mysteriously loses all power, Sackboy is sent to investigate. But can he restore power in a variety of puzzling challenges and find out who is behind the lockdowns? (watch video)

Batteries are the new Companion Cubes, thanks to yet another genius action puzzler from Coxy224. Bring your positively charged pal along with you to help run machinery, but when he runs low on juice be sure to bring him to the nearest recharging station. It's cooperative gameplay with the cutest little electrical storage device you've ever seen. Zap!

Taffey

Who knew charging batteries could be so fun? Coxy's latest concoction will have you powering up machines to progress you to the scoreboard, as you move your Sackboy(girl) and battery to different locations. Excellent gameplay, and a race that will have you on the edge of your seat. This is one not to be missed.

VelcroJonze

A surge of bliss awaits you in this new masterpiece by Coxy224. You’ll be shocked with a thousand volts beholding ingenious gameplay that requires the player to manipulate a battery in order to pass mechanical-themed obstacles and adorable robodoggies. Don’t leave this forgotten! With this factory, the fun keeps going and going and going…

Jack McHan and Etlentos - Part 3 by HonzaM25/HonzaM25

Jack McHan finally arrived to the planet Lantea and now is he looking for Etlentos. (watch video)

Part 3 in my favorite new sci-fi series is out! Teleport back to HonzaM25's awesome little universe and embark on a whole new series of adventures, including an incredible and scenic "underwater" section. Hmm, that intro screen looks familiar somehow... No, it must just be me.

Taffey

Honza finishes his Jack McHan series in style with a visit to the uncharted planet Lantea. Explore the landscape, search for hidden areas, platform over deadly obstacles, and even ride on the back of a couple jellyfish in an underwater sequence that will leave you wondering if Cambridge added real water to the toolset, and only informed Honza.

VelcroJonze

Jack McHan returns and is straight into the spotlight because of some fantastic visual scenes and fun gameplay. The concluding chapter of a gripping tale is finally here, and you’d be crazy to miss it.

Coxy224

Breathtaking visuals grace the finale of the Jack McHan trilogy by HonzaM25. Scene after scene, you’ll be mesmerized with vibrant and well-designed landscapes, and it gets even better when a wall of rock unexpectedly peels away to reward you its treasures. With multiple endings to boot, you definitely need to play it again to fully enjoy the finale of this wonderful journey to another world.

Tree's, Bee's, and Fee's by austimerr/austimerr

A fun level with nice visuals where you travel to and through the bug's world to solve the mystery of why the bugs are so hungry! (watch video)

Now look. I don't mean to bug you about this, but you simply must come out from that rock you're living under and play this level. austimerr has created an absolutely charming insect-sized world that's sweet as honey, and there's plenty of clever dialog created on the wing to go with it. So crawl over to your PSP, download this level, and see what the buzz is all about.

Taffey

Have you ever wondered what insects talk about when no people are around? Wonder no more. Clever level designs and top notch gameplay, combined with a funny story and some of the best stickerwork this happy gadder has ever seen, makes this a level I keep coming back to.

VelcroJonze

This is one of the cutest levels you’ll play all year, and has an epic tale to boot. Simple gameplay mixed with some of the best bug visuals make this a unique but excellent formula for success. Download this one now for a great romp through a well designed level.

Coxy224

So what exactly do these trees, bees, and fees possess? A lot of charm and personality, that’s what! This level is swarming with fun, classic gameplay tailored to a quirky forest inhabited by lovable insects. Make sure you’re alone when playing this - unless you want others to hear you snorting till the very end.

Really means quite a lot to hear such nice and wonderful things about a level you have poured so much love and attention to these past several months. To be honest, there is another creator name that should be listed up there on the spotlight for Survival Line and that is TheKillian. It was his original concept and those first days we spent working on this together are some of the most memorable, fun and incredible days I have ever had in LBP. I updated this one quite a bit since then, but never lost sight of those memories and how much fun we had accidently zapping unknowing testers coming in to visit our little corner of mayhem. Thanks Killian!! This one is for you!!

Thanks so much spotlight team!! You've made me very very happy. I don't get to put out levels as fast as I want these days due to my other duties here at LBPC and especially since I am horribly slow and meticulous. I will be sure and cherish the memories of the warm glow of your light pointed my way for quite awhile. ..well, at least until maybe my next level comes out?! lol

Thanks Morgy for helping us out in our time of toil this week (even though she was supposed to be having a break), what with messed up tables and PSN issues and server migration and all. It's been a bumpy ride. Well done creators also - lots of talent there to be proud of. We should have our reviewing system sorted for next episode, thanks to good old comphy. Great spotlight people!

PS: Thanks for touching up my notes Matt. Those few extra words really make a difference!

Aww... I thought my newest level "The Hero Chronicles LV6 Sky Metropolis" will make a spotlight after hearing from a lot of players that I surprised them with the visuals and gameplay but it didn't . Oh well at least that was one heck of the spotlighted levels of the episode and what matters the most is how much fun we had making them. Congrats to every spotlighted levels you deserve it. Great to see some of my major favorites like "The Dragon Slayer" level series, "Black and White Planet 3", and "Firestarter" making a spotlight. Gotta try all of the levels in this episode that I missed since they looked great. Awesome work LBPC crew.

I remember playing some of these levels. I especially remember Black&White Planet 3 and A Shroomey Place to Dance. I still gotta try out DragonSlayer and the rest of these wonderful levels. I mean who doesn't like dragons?
