Ze Bomb Survival Challenge!TheLBP Well, Ze Bomb Survival Challenge... is obviously a Survival Challenge. Its ment to be challenging... with the Bombs falling it is literally a mine field! But just a well as Normal bombs falling, also Timed Bombs! Which really does boost up the diffaculty! Its not ment to be easy... so there is points... as a reward aswell! all Hints: The bombs don't shoot at mainly random directions... manily at the sides... so if you stay in the middle, you have a 75% chance of survival! Also, some blocks are Cardboard, and some blocks are polystyrene... yes it easier to blow up, but if you hold on it makes a safe hole! Also, there is survival stations while going down... like small places where you can stand to try and survive!

Well, Ze Bomb Survival Challenge... is obviously a Survival Challenge. Its ment to be challenging... with the Bombs falling it is literally a mine field! Firstly, not that your idea for a level isn't good or anything, and I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but bomb survival levels have sort of been done before. Quite a lot, actually. Few people here are going to even bother playing one, because 99% of them offer nothing new. Also, not to be picky or anything, but bombs don't usually fall in minefileds. They're kind of already there. But just a well as Normal bombs falling, also Timed Bombs! Wow. Timed bombs. Never seen those used before....... Its not ment to be easy... so there is points... as a reward aswell! I should hope so. No point playing a survival challenge if you don't get points for surviving. Hints: The bombs don't shoot at mainly random directions... manily at the sides... so if you stay in the middle, you have a 75% chance of survival! That's another thing to put me off playing it. A survival challenge is a bit rubbish if you can just stand still somewhere and probably survive. Also, some blocks are Cardboard, and some blocks are polystyrene... yes it easier to blow up, but if you hold on it makes a safe hole! Not sure what you mean here... but it might be worth pointing out that cardboard and polysteryene blow up in exctly the same way. If you want to make a good level, my advice is not to make bomb survivals. Do something more original and creative, and take a look at some of the best levels by people from around here to get some inspiration. Make something you can be really proud of. Note - I haven't actually played your level (as you can probably tell), so all of the above post was based on assumption alone.

But still... if nobody likes bomb survivals... then can a mod/admin lock this topic plz? Thnx for your honesty though!

Great spirit from this guy, but i don't think you should lock it. Just as long as you know that there are thousands of bomb survival levels, doing the same thing, you may as well make something else.

Yep, that kind of is what I was saying, but the fact that you're alright with that and that you only seem to want to improve is awesome. I think alot of people actually do like bomb survivals, otherwise they would never get so many plays, but people here generally don't like them. Most of us are all about pushing this game to the limits and we want to make and see incredible things, so when someone comes along and posts about yet another bomb level you can probably understand that we won't be too enthusiastic. I'm not saying though that everyone has to make something completely different that has never been done before. Probably one of the best things to do is to play a load of levels and look for ideas people have used. If you see something that looks cool, have a think about how you could take that idea further. But it seems that bomb survivals have been done so much that there isn't really anything more that can be done with them that hasn't been done hundreds of times before.

I think quite a few players like bomb drop levels, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with making them. It's important to note who your audience generally is in LittleBigPlanet... normally young kids. So, many members on this website simply aren't the target audience for this type of level and like to see original gameplay. Also, it's important to keep in mind that the reason bomb survival levels pop to the top of cool levels so quickly is because of individuals restarting constantly - which drives it up the pages quickly even though less people play them. I will give this a shot, however - I don't leave comments on a thead without giving proper feedback. Will return with my thoughts. EDIT: Ok, I played it. This level definately needs some work to be at the quality of the more popular bomb survival levels. The visible mechanics, which basically have really fast material attached to pistons flying back and forth and emitting bombs and points... cause just about all the bombs to trigger to the left or the right side of the level. I actually stood in the middle of the screen for roughly 15 minuts without doing anything... but if I were to jump into a crevace to collect points it would have meant certain death since all the bombs were falling in the same holes. Also, the visuals needed work - they were simply squares of smooth material.

Cub, thanks for offering this guy some feedback. Good gracious, everyone, cut this guy some slack, please! Fair do's, bomb survival's aren't too popular around here, but come on, use a bit of diplomacy.

Thanks for the honesty everybody... but i'm not gonna stop making them, I love them (Sorta)! Well anyway, I thought about making a Survival Challenge... i've asked my friends what they of it so far... they said it would be a 4 Star with how new I am and with how much I have worked on it! It has Earthquake box so far... swinging stuff... and sorry about this... I just couldn't resist, I added a mini-bombsurvival stage, just ignore that bit... but I hope you will like it!

There are some really quality ones out there. Nuclear Fallout by Tactical_Gunner is a great example. I think Steve_Big_Guns made one too....

To say that not many people enjoy playing Bomb Survivals... this thread has got a lot of posts and views, i'm confused...

Let me help unconfused you. There are SO many bomb survivals that end up on cool pages based on a minority of people playing them over and over again, that many other players get tired of seeing TOO MANY bomb survival levels constantly. So, even if they are fun they get a cookie-cutter stigma of there being "TOO MANY" with very little creativity going into the gameplay. Kind of like "Disco" in the 70's.... So, just mentioning a bomb survival will stir up a bit of controversy because there are so many constantly being churned out. Many creators think of it as a quick way to get attention. So, unfortunately bomb survival level threads tend to turn into "I like them" "I don't like them" arguments instead of having proper level feedback - which I disagree with.

Great alternative to Bomb levels: Leave it on your moon and play with your friends. I always get a good laugh when my friend get's killed by a bomb! If you want other people to play it, let your friends invite their friends so everybody get's a piece of the fun! Now everyone's happy.

i just dont see why you just dont play it, nothing makes you play them (BUT quick play) and the reason peple create is to have fun, be creative, and as long as you had fun making it, that is good for me, i will play it!

But it's not fun when identical levels invade the cool levels page sealing the chance to gain popularity. I like Bomb Survival Challenges, really I do, but THERE'S JUST TOO MANY! O.o
