Back in action after a 2 month break (forced due to my save data corrupting for the 2nd time) here is my newest level. So give me a pity play

Moe the Mechanic has fixed your car up and now it's time to race out of town and escape the cops!

It's not a long one, so please do give it a try when your next on.

Also 11 optional hidden collectables

Errh, yeah. Chers

Just got done playing this - you know, I generally am not a big fan of racing levels, but THIS one is really cool.

You managed to capture the feeling of racing other cars down the road, which is something I've never seen in LittleBigPlanet before. Another thing you did which was unique is to make the race require more strategy than just simply holding down a button - part of it you have to slow down onto the top of a platform and time yourself to drive off the other end. Also, you have to get out of the truck and onto the steps, climb, and ride down to the finish line.

These additional gameplay elements make this level more than the run-of-the-mill racer, and I also enjoyed the graphics.

Great job - 5 stars and hearted from me. As well, I played it several times to get a higher score. Nice job!

No pity required for this level!

I share CCubbages apathy towards racing levels for the most part but I gotta say - this one is really cool. Your level is nicely built and I didn't see any problems at all with materials or even any rough edges. The car design is very cool and it runs well. I was able to get it stuck on the exit ramp and I managed to flip it a few times but I think I'm just a bad "virtual" driver.

I love that you have other cars to "race" against and that the cops swarm in. Nice idea with the panel van too. I also agree with CCubbage - the strategy element bumps the level up in terms of quality in my opinion.

My only negative and it isn't really a negative is the little sponge blobs on the scoreboard. It's a total personal preference thing but swimming in a "ball crawl" on the scoreboard isn't my thing.

Overall an excellent level - I gave it 5 stars and hearted it. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks guys

I'm annoyed that I couldn't make it longer, but due to level size constraints that was the maximum horizontal length I could make it. I was tempted to do a jump off a ramp into a helicopter which would then fly upwards and come down on a floating 'ground' layer in the sky, then drive left for a bit, but I wasn't sure how much of the thermo I'd need left to make it look perty

I've still got about 1-2/5ths of it left mind, I could add something..

You guys not got anything you want me to play?

anything you like - I don't strictly adhere/participate in F4F (but I do it anyway - just don't want the extra pressure - lol) so if you want to play one or all - go for it! 2009-04-21 21:26:00

I wonder how that infinite level technology concept would work in a racing level...2009-04-22 11:26:00

Hmm, a racing level that doesn't feature mario, motorstorm or rocket powered cheetahs?
I will play this for sure!!







Also 11 optional hidden collectables


I love that word, optional, not being forced to pick up unavoidable collectables is a sign of a smart creator to me.

I played the level last night and have to agree with above posters. Its rare, in fact your level is completely unique I think, that race levels have any form of strategy and look as good as this. Its well designed and looks the part, I loved the other racers, the police stopping them, and then driving into the back of the truck at the end. I have to agree with Morgana though about the end and the scoreboard section, its the only bad part of an otherwise brilliant level.

I had a few play throughs to try and get a better score, it must have been beginners luck because I never beat my first.

Overall an excellent level, 5*, vehicles, and hearted

I'll tweak the ending to make it better.

Also Zwollie, I also hate being made to pick stuff up to finish a level and I'm sure we're not alone on that

So yeah, brb

Alright guys, I changed and added to my level. I tweaked some lighting, changed the ending section entirely, added more scenery throughout the level and tweaked some annoyances I had from the first room.

Also, Moe now has a full set of hair

Checks it out and tell me what you think!

Okay, this was heaps of fun...what more can I say?

I gave it 5 stars and a well deserved heart.
Perhaps a little on the short side but on a level like this, it really doesn't matter.

Well done, Asbestos101!!

Like Cubbage and Morgana, I'm not that into the race type levels, but you did a lot here to keep me interested. The other racers really added to the atmosphere, as did the cops and the crashes. I had a lot of fun with this, good job!2009-04-22 21:07:00

There are plans for another level featuring the same car, maybe a slight tweak too it to make it fit. It's going to be a survival level and so there will be no worries about it getting too short 2009-04-22 23:28:00

I liked this.

- The car doesn't get stuck/backflip every other bump in the road.
- It wasn`t just holding R1 the whole time.
- The 'scripted' parts of the race were excellent.
- It`s cool!

5 stars and hearted.

Cheers guys, it's the feedback that makes levels worth making in the first place

I'm sure everyone else already knows that though, that's why your hanging out here!
