Okay, Ladylyn heres your review run down of your series...

Whichever way the wind blows (Red)
I enjoyed this guy a lot simply because it reminded me of fallout 3's the pitt. Intro is neat with the balloon drifting through clouds. The factory is what reminded me of fallout (a good thing, very good thing). The backgrounds in both the factory and water were very good, felt like there was truly depth throughout the level. I Enjoyed the puzzle with the two directions (me being dumb decided to try and cross without hitting the button, thank god for the infinte respawn). The boss threw me off as i couldn't figure out how to get past it right away (i realized i had to outlast it about half into the fight), but it was a good boss overall. I had a little trouble getting trapped for a second in the rocks underwater, but nothing that made me upset in any way. The last part made me want to continue on with your levels as it ended with the same way it began. Loved this level, everyone should give this one a try, very high quality, good length, and most importantly...fun. Go play it!

Wichever way the Wind blows (Gold)
Temples and littlebigplanet mix pretty well in my opinion, and this one is no exception. I actually died entirely a few times throughout this level as it was pretty complicated...but that only made it better. This really felt like you explore ancient ruins and have to conquer traps to progress through them. The puzzles stand out, and that obvious because thats what this guy is all about. I wont spoil any of them, but i will tell you if your not quick, your going to be upset. Another thing was the boss. Highest praise for creating it, one of-if not the-most fun boss to beat in littlebigplanet that i have played so far. Again i loved the backgrounds here as well. Very detailed and feels like a professional did this level (which you are by the way, for making these). There is a reason this has a lot of plays and hearts...go add a few.

Whichever way the wind blows (Blue)
This one i had played before even signing up for this website. And i already really enjoyed it. I'll run it down anyways with what stood out the most, just cuz imma nice guy and stuff. Anyways, start out the same as the rest; continues to be good here still...Not as much detail in the backgrounds here, but understandable as your in the sky and stuff is blue up there. There is a pretty brutal pulley section in the level that requires some good thinking...and a puzzle that requires the same thinking. After and accident, your dropped into a nice forest area with very cool spider/bug thingys on trees and feels like a swampy/jungle place that i found pretty neat. Like the other two levels in the series, the boss here is more than a "jump here, kill brain" affair. This guy kicks butt, and will take you a minute to beat. Good stuff again. Oh, theres details in the end just like the other levels, yay. No guess here, another great level in a great series.

Overall
If you haven't played this series, do yourself a favor and do it...You'll only be hurting yourself by missing out on some very great and well made FUN LEVELS . Props to ladylyn1, great work.

thanks for letting me review, i really like doing this and look forward to more levels! I will do every one!

Kn0cked-0ut, your review...

Ghost of sparta - Chapter one
I'm a big fan of god of war (great game, check them out if you haven't in the compliation pack coming out soon). Before i went in i thought, oh this might just be another low effort level with a god of war tag to get plays. I was plesantly suprised to find out it wasn't. The level had the right textures and music to make it feel like it was god of war, and above all, the right puzzles. The puzzles sand out espically if you have played God of War because they felt similar to those in the game. For example, in the level, there is one puzzle that requires you to move pillars to get up to the next part. In LBP, that might not seem all that spectacular, but when i did this i remembered that one puzzle in the oracle's temple place where you had to move pillars to get to a higher spot and save the oracle (not really a spoiler if you haven't played it). Levels that do this in littlebigplanet make me smile. I do have on gripe however, and to be fair and honest, its not exactly a gripe. When killing the Cyclops near the begining, he drops a few score orbs on death. I think that it should be a little more to feel more God of War like because those guy dropped some major experience orbs in the game. Just a thought, and by the way, that looked really cool (the Cyclops). Boss fight at the end was good becuase it wasn't a 'hit-the-brains' boss like some are, which are in my opinion way more fun.

Overall
Good challenge here, good texture, and again FUN. Don't let this recreation fool you, it had time put into it. Go play and props to Kn0cked-0ut.

Thanks for letting me review your level, i have fun doing this and look forward to more!!

Could you check out my Klonoa levels? If you have time, it'd be cool if you could also look at my Jungle Horror series, but I'm not gonna ask for that much.

I'd really like my Klonoa levels looked at whenever you have time.

Found your levels Bonner, your review...

City in the sky
Intro. I like levels with these as you can tell that the creator was happy enough with their work to make one. Good sign of things to come. I do have just a few minor problems with it...but overall i enjoyed this level. So lets get into it. What i like the most is this feels like what the level title is, a city in the sky. Buildings are on floating islands and is exactly what i picture when i think of city in the sky. The platform ladder near the beginning was a little tricky for me to spot at first, but eventually i got it and thought it was nifty. Some jumps in this level are very challenging, which is always fun, although my girl had a bit of trouble with it (tag team review). I thought the little part with the orbs on platforms in the background was really cool, i don't know exactly why, i just liked it. Another thing that stands out to me was the four switch puzzle. It was fun to do rather than just pull one switch and continue. The first boss was definetly different, in kind of a good way. It took a little long to for him to die, i guess i was just expecting it to go a little faster, but whatever, its really not a big deal, just a thought. Second boss was fun as well and different in a good way (not kind of, just good this time). Fun to kill, and challenging at the same time. Also, one last thing (actually two), The text from the sacklady in a robe was commendale...not too much of a created story, but just enough for me to care and keep playing. I liked that. Final note, my girl said that your level background was boring (she's a little harsher than me). She thought maybe a cloud or two could do some good just for flavor. But overall, i liked this level and recommend playing it for a decent challenge and fun boss fights with cool platforming mixed in, nice job bonner!

Pale
"Welcome to pale, a land of relaxation and laid back platforming. Try for the high score!"

How inviting. I liked that little intro. Anyways, heres pale. First thing i noticed was the multiple colors mixed with that catch happy tune that i enjoy a lot. Good start. I was thrown off a little bit in the beginning as the first jump puzzle wasn't relaxing as much as i went in thinking. I guess from the description i got the idea this was gonna be really easy. No matter, it doesn't hurt my opinion of this cool level. Theres really not a lot to talk about here, Pale lives up to the description, its very 'laid back'. No boss, no puzzles that make you think for very long, and not a lot of spots where you can die. But thts not in any way whatsoever a bad thing. Pale isn't meant to be hectic or hard in any way, just straight up relaxing and enjoyable. Something i like when i first get up and play LBP. The one circle monkey bars thing did kick my butt for a minute, but in the end i thought it was creative. I was really mad at the end with the small race part because it took me about 25 seconds out of the 40 to make the first jump across. Bah, thats what i get for messing up here i guess. Unlike city in the sky, the background here fit much better. The solid blue mixed well with the platform colors. Good stuff. This one's the complete opposite of city in the sky. Play this if you just need a breather from the other challenging aspect of LBP, good relaxation level. I liked it. Oh also, this level is very long, which comes from the fact that not much is going on. I'm glad it wasn't short.

Overall

Two very fun levels here peoples. If you like a challenge with some different styled boss fights, play city in the sky, and for relaxation and just having simple fun, pale is the way to go. I recommend them both, check them out.

Noroibito, I got your review here...

SIREN [The Lost World] (episode 2- otherside)
The first SIREN episode seriously rocked me good, hard stuff here. Use the Walkthrough the level provides for you. Your not going to get this one without it (I sure couldn't). The fact that a level somebody created themselves merits a walkthrough is utterly fantastic. I love that to no end. That dedication at its finest. Anyways, before I even begin episode 2, please please please play these levels. 100% brilliance here.

Starts off with the same atmosphere and silence the first one did. Great, the atmosphere is a huge part of this series. Creepy as you can get in LBP. Plus, the textures Noroibito uses are perfect. Sets a horror mood better than anything. One thing I highly praise is the sound effects. Beating heart, blood drips (Horror level is horror), screams...fantastic. The description says inspired by silent hill and fatal frame, but I never played those, so I got reminded of resident evil 3 and 4 (specifically, not resident evil: africa) which I have played. I think I get the message just the same. I had a much easier time with this one (didnt use the guide until i had the tablet near the end). One thing I commend you on is scaring me real good in this one, seriously. I went to the restroom in the staff building one to many times and well, I don't want to spoil, but I jumped and panicked and ran my sack butt off. Good stuff. A thing I liked here more was checkpoints. Again like the first, this is entirely a confusing (without the guide) puzzle horror adventure that keeps you 100% interested in the level throughout the entire time. The only time I have ever been creeped out in LBP, ever. Sheer brilliance here. I loved every second of this level. One of my favorite levels Ive ever played in littlebigplanet. I didnt write so much here for the sole reason of no spoilers, but believe me this level is packed with great stuff and your going to be missing a great level in LBP if you don't check out SIREN. Cheers.

Overall
Play this. Just do it. Enough said. Without Noroibito's permission, I would like to post the website guide here in case this sways anybody to play it. I needed it

Thanks for letting me review, love playing all these great levels!

Trevor_fox, i got your stuff

Klonoa Costume Tutorial/Vision 1-1!
Hmm...never played Klonoa before. From the little I know about it, it was a platformer that was on sega something (Genesis/Saturn, can't remember right now). When that stuff was around, I was playing Crash bandicoot and banjo kazooie. Neve rgot inot Klonoa, although if this level is a faithful recreation (which no doubt it is) looks kind of psychadelic to an extent. Cool. Anyways, this is a costume tutorial/level which is pretty cool. Tutorials usually only have that, and this one had some fun in it with a level. Thats pretty nifty I think, good to see levels break away from the norm. I did the costume and found a picutre (really just your avatar) and compared them. Looked pretty good in my opinion. Always good when a costume turns out the way its supposed to look. Other than the tutorial, theres not much going on here, which is okay because this is mainly for the costume. I laughed at the goofy guy at the end where you get your picture taken (his mouth moves funny). Nice little level, cool costume. Just too bad i'm not familiar with the game :/ ... Contiuning on...

Klonoa: Vision 5-2
I have mixed feelings about this level...again I'm not a Klonoa guy so I'm not exactly sure about this level, but I again assume its a recreation of world 5-2 (from the title). Anyways I liked the little dialouge in the beginning, although I had zero idea about what it was about. I did not like the beginning parts of this level. I couldn't get past the first few springs without dying a couple of times and it made me frustrated. On the other hand, I did like the platforming in the middle-end parts of the level. That was a complete 180 from the beginning. Cool, non-frustrating platforming puzzles. But as soon as I started to like it, it was finished...meeh. Well, I personally wouldn't recommend this level, but I do like the fact that its detailed, a recreation, and shows that hard work was put it. really wish I was a fan of the source material. If you Like Klonoa, check this guy out, otherwise,try it and you might like it.

Klonoa: Vision 5-2: Boss Joker
Much better level. The platforming here was fun throughout. I did not like that spider-guy at the end though. Pretty much the same as above...I like your level design and I can tell a lot of work went into these. Your Jungle Horror stuff could be more appealing to me.

Overall
The costume looks great, looks like klonoa. Levels are nice, a little frustrating to me and didn't have the appeal to me as I didn't play Klonoa. But I'd say if your a fan or at least remember the game, check this out for sure.

Jungle Horror Part 1
Immediately I noticed the cool dark lighting and jungle atmosphere. The level lives up to its name. The sound effects in the first cave fit well (almost comical) and the baby head was extremely creepy and weird...not too sure about that...Anyways, the rest of the level is not too hard but at the same time, parts are very easy. The fire threw me off as I was confused on what exactly to do. The level is also fast paced which is a turn around for the levels I've reviewed so far. The chase parts are cool and I enjoyed doing them. So far, I like this series.

Jungle Horror Part 2
Again, good stuff here...the lighting stood out to me the most. Great job on doing this. The Skeleton dudes were cool and i like how at one point it seemed there was an army of them. I didn't have too much trouble playing through this level (I think I only died one time). But i have one major complaint. The elevator part where you see the light (very cool, looked realistic - the light) I jumped towards the light, unaware that I had to jump back. This resulted in me falling down the elevator shaft. I was not a happy, cheery guy when that happened. Let your player know or something to not go towards the light. That what I assumed to do and I'm sure I'm not alone. Otherwise a good level and I'm having fun playing this series. Another note, they way the levels end where the next begins is pretty cool. Good to keep the player interested and in a flow.

Jungle Horror Part 3
This is good. My absolute favorite Part was the guy on the wall and the eyeball. Those looked really cool and the seemed not put together in the creator mode, but animated. Great. That puzzle with the ball and the switches is really hard. And then that dinosaur randomly spawns...crazy. It took me a while to get it, but yea. Again I liked the details and texture although this time it wasn't as much jungle-y as the others, but thats okay. Good series, fun and challenging.

Overall
The jungle horror series is pretty darn good. Some parts will make you mad (like that elevator in part 2, ugh) but other parts will leave you satisfyied. Good, fun series, check it out if you feel inclined.

Thank you Trevor_fox for the fun levels, and if you have any you'd like me to look at, please post in here. And remember, I have a level as well posted on the level section of this website. If you can't find it, please add me on PSN (Unicorn-Squad4ev) and I will play/review your stuff! Thanks

LittlebigSackboy's Level Review...

Neon Sound
Right off the bat, your hit by about 12 or 17 different colors...well more like 3 but your get the idea. Neon Sound is a simple, quick level that suprisingly left me satisfyied. At first, I didn't like the fact that I couldn't see myself very well, but quickly I got used to it. There is a couple of quick, tricky jumps, and adding that your cant exactly see is difficult, but nothing level breaking. The visual style here is great. I felt like I was in a night club (lol, not really...) but there is techno! Metal Gear solid techno...but hey its got a beat.

Overall
Short, quick, visual-appealing level that is some good fun. Try it you like stuff thats a little different in littlebigplanet land. He asks for a heart for this level...I gave it one I don't give a heart for straight up demand off the bat, you gots to earn it.

Thanks for the level littlebigsackboy, keep them coming please!

Spider-Jew (lol) your level review...

Just a Day at Sackboy Beach
Wow, this was a fun level, and a plesant suprise. From the very beginning, The photo booth was really cool. It has a oh hey, we are a family at the beach, lets take a dumb picture of us! feel to it that you feel at a beach. I really liked the tide effect for the water, and the wave on the surf board. Oh, also, the sounds used fit nicely. Then the pirate ship (+rum). I thought the rum effect was simple and very effective (you totally score with babes when you drink, Beavis...ahem). Also, Pirates rock (take them over ninjas any day!) and they were neat dudes. This level is also a good example where barely any story (save for the pirate ship) can tell a story through progression. I liked that, and it felt pretty good and flowed good as well. For challenge, not so much, but I don't exactly think it was the main focus here. This level left me very happy and I hearted it. Good job spider-jew!

Just a Day at Snowtop Mountain

Before I played this level: 'I hope its kind of similar to sackboy beach!'
After: 'YAY it was!'

ANother really fun level, possibly just as much fun as the beach. A word though to readers, be sure to play the beach before this to get the little story with these guys. I liked the plug for metal gear solid 4, I chuckled. Also, I forgot to mention, spider-jew here is a little comedian of sorts (kind of like me, well almost, I suck at comedy T-T and I do it on stage!) as these levels are funny in LBP ways. Like for example, Kratos makes an appearence with a bit of humorous dialouge. Theres a paint gun boss and a puzzler mini boss of sorts in here which both wre fun to kill/solve. As people who read my stuff know I like details, and here was as much detail as any ice cave could have gotten. Level and bosses were pretty. Another great level spider-jew, Cheers!

Overall
As its plainly easy to see, I'm a big fan of these two levels, the are great fun, have a small bit of challenge (this one more over than the beach), and will make you giggle/chuckle (whatever you prefer). Check these guy out, a high recommednation from me. Good job.

Thanks Spider-jew for the fun levels, hopw to get more!! thanks for everyone submitting level so far. Hope your enjoying my reviews!

Thanks for the reviews! =) I'm glad you liked my stuff. Klonoa was actually on the PS1, but has recently been remade for the Wii. I never got to play the original version, either.

Vision 5-2, on the original game was a pain. One of my least favorite levels, but I thought it would be one of the coolest to remake, what with the whole day/night effect. This level kind of goes hand in hand with part 2: Boss Joker. So, I'd have to say, for anyone that plays the first part, you also have to play the second part to get the full experience. And I know what you mean by difficult. I actually added in some double life checkpoints to make the level less frustrating than it used to be, and I greatly toned down the difficulty in one area. I was able to fix some layer problems in part 2.

Jungle Horror part 1 was actually the very first level I've made. I'm glad that it can still hold it's own after so long. The elevator in part 2 is a big pain for me, because so many people have a problem with it. But, I think that you've given me an idea. I think that I know what I can do to fix it. I did add an "elevator call" button so you don't have to restart the level, but the elevator takes too long to get to the bottom, however; I should have a solution to that.

I'm glad you liked part 3. That was my first time doing bosses. The puzzle actually used to be more difficult than it already is. =P
Good thing I edited these levels! XD

Thanks for the reviews! They've given me some ideas on what I can do to make my levels better.

Oh, btw. I looked for your level but I couldn't find it. I'm going to try again later.

igotfancypants's level review

Escaping the doctor's cave
"hope you don't run into a man with a moustache!"

Wouldn't that just be absolutely intimadating to find in a cave? Espically a doctors cave? Yea, I wouldn't be happy running into freddie mercury in a a cave either.

Anyways, the level is at first glance, visually striking. This particular cave is not dark and filled with rocks n stuff. Its very floral and has a bunch of bright colors, not what I usually get from littlebigplanets' cave levels I see. Anyways, I am greeted with a mask using the always funny to me yogin voice (that and the beatbox always make me smile). He says this is his cave and you gots to get out. Cool, lets rock this cave.

One thing that really impressed me was the amount of detail that the level had compared to the length. It was much longer than I expected and the level of detail never goes down. Very good job on details here 9my favorite part of the level).

Most of the platforming and puzzle solving I figured out pretty quick, which was okay. I guess a doctors cave gives me the impression that puzzles would be tricky or something here. But its all good in the end. Solid platforming throughout.

I was a little confused at the ending as I think what happened was a glitch in the level. Before I killed the doctor, the level just finished halfway through the fight...A little weird, but I assume it doesn't happen too often. This is a hit the brains boss, but at least its not straight forward. I'm not a fan of these kinds of bosses, but here it works out okay. I like bosses where its a puzzle to figure out how to kill them.

Overall
I had fun playing the doctors' cave. The level is pretty, platforming is solid. I just wish the glitchy ending hadn't happened so I would beat the doctor. Ah well, still i had fun, and its a good level to find and play through. Just don't expect to ace it


Thanks igotfancypants for the level, good stuff.

And yes, I finally got into college. It been a tough choice for me, but I settled on a game design bachelor's of fine arts degree at a school called IADT (international academy of design tech.) and its pretty nice. The main focus was on game design so I went with that over my other two options I was thinking of (being cooking school and journalism).

One day...media molecule I will work for you! (I wish...lol)

Wow, thanks for the review! I understand the end is kinda... well bad although you didn't say that :/ I was in a rush to finish so its glitchy and such

And the name... came up with it in a matter of seconds so don't expect much lol.

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!

EDIT: BTW, I'm not going to be fixing the end as I like to keep it as it is, so I can look back and scream at myself.

Hey, i got some time to do reviews today, so I'm gonna start with Mopthefloo's levels and go in order

Mopthefloo's level reviews...

The beginning: part one
"see how little big planet all began."

Thats a cool little description. I really liked this level, fits the theme of a planet forming with the disjointed earth and stone columns all disorganized. The music was really pretty good, although I felt that the sounds effects the danger mushrooms made was a little out of place. I guess I just got tired of that effect played over and over as I died a lot.

I did, however, have one major,major problem with this level...I could not finish it.

Yup, I gave up because one part was waaay too hard and was making me frustrated. The race part after the also equally brutally challenging mushroom hills part was extremely hard, so hard infact, I just gave up. Those jumps are way to hard to make for the average player and even I couldn't do them. Just so I'm not alone, my girl was playing this level with me and she too could not do it and we play together since I bought this game. I tried until the race timer ran out, and then I tried again for about ten minutes after and still...couldn't get across those mushrooms. I got upset, and stopped.

I'm sorry mopthefloo, I couldn't finish your level. Way too hard for me. But do not take this as a bashing, as I'm sure some people could make that jump not named unicorn-squad4ev (or mitchell, my name is not unicorn). Otherwise I liked the theme of a planet forming (I'm into cosmology and the like) and the platforming. Sorry I couldn't finish.

Anyways, you have another level that I'm sure will go better for me

Sack the Sacks!
...OKay, this kind of went better, but I had the same problem as I had in the first level. I spent way too much time trying to figure out a puzzle and it just didn't keep me hooked enough to finish. What was I supposed to do with the core? I had absolutely no idea where to put it/what to do with it. I got stuck and I wasn't happy because I really was liking the story behind this (its like a half life chapter) and the dialouge. Also in praise, I liked how the majority of the level was well done and not overly difficult. Difficulty in LBP is always fun for a challenge, but you really need to make it not so impossible at first, give the player a sense that this is solvable so they won't be upset. These two levels are very difficult and I only wound up very frustrated. Please let the player know more about the part with the green core, I was clueless. Otherwise, a much better level than the first.

Overall
I'm really sorry, I did not enjoy these levels. Way too difficult to be a fun challenge for the player. Please change it up. I liked everything about these but the difficulty. I will maybe try these again later, as I understand a level takes time and these two surely did. I also don't like to bash levels as I find it rude. If I get through these anytime soon, I will change this review. But for now, I stand by my opinion and theres a list I have going so I must move on.

nightwing, your level review

Dead Ocean
"Investigate a sunken ocean liner'

Cool, investigating stuff never gets old, I guess. I went in this level wanting to play it.
What I got while playing it was that I had fun here, but I have seen a few ways the level could be improved to make this a good hit. The music fits, platforming was minimal but good hen it was there, and the zombie design was good. Also, the sponges look like things that would actually be on a ship with the right texture choice, good job there. Overall I had fun with this level (although it was just a little short) but I have two things to suggest to make this a great hit.

-Have you tried putting glass over the entire level? We are undersea here, and I didn't really feel like I was. Glass could help give the underwater effect and possibly give this level some much needed life.

-What happened to the story? I was thinking that I would get little blurbs about things on the ship that were scary/weird/informational. There was not one text bubble throughout the whole level save for the first one breifing you on the level. This level needs a story like that in order to be really interesting. Give it some thought.

Overall
What I see here is a fun level with limitless potential should you choose to explore it. Everything is set up so good and could really be GREAT. If you want, take advice from here and apply it, although I understand that its only one guy's opinion. But take it or leave it. Otherwise, the level is good, and I recommend playing through it.

okay, all done for today, I'm a little irriatable today, maybe thats why I was harsh a little, but w/e.

Keep sending levels my way, thanks!

If you would please play my saga called "The Last Day". The levels get better as they go on so if you could try to play each one I would be extremely thankful. If you have any level you want me to play and review just holler.

My levels are based highly on the story so if you try to follow it I think it's pretty rewarding. It's kind of a cross between Alice in Wonderland, a Zombie Movie and a War Movie. I really can't explain it you just need to see it.

Just search FertileDecline I spose.

Thanks
