The winners of the 8th LBR Trophy Competition ("April Tales") (http://www.littlebigreviewers.com/?p=746) have been announced, after a short delay due to technical difficulties with their level submission process. TOWERS_85_87 put in a long weekend to get the results compiled and posted. Posted by TOWERS_85_87 on May 2, 2010 The ?April Tales? contest sure has a story to tell!!! First of all, stories tend to be the driving force of most games in all of gaming history. LittleBIGPlanet is no exception. We all loved and enjoyed playing. I assure you that we did. I have actually passed it a couple of time myself since I loved it so much. After most of us in the community finished it, we were left craving for more. Since Online Create was introduced, dedicated players developed remarkable ones. Deducing from our review list, story levels is one of the types most created. Some, even continuing the LBP storyline. Here, in the LittleBIGReviewers, we acknowledge that and thought that it was only logical to pay tribute to such a compelling concept that drives both games, movies and life alike. Since this month?s contest video was posted, it was covered by Sackcast, LBPMedia and even Media Molecule. It has gotten over 1000 views in around just the 2 weeks it has been on. To make things a bit different, we decided that those that submitted a costume that matched their story would receive an additional point to their overall score. Technical difficulties occurred, but as they say in show business: ?The show MUST go on?. We knew there were some great story tellers out there and must admit that these entries exceeded even our wildest expectations. Some had perilous platforming and prodigious puzzles while others had bewildering boss battles. They just keep getting better as these contests roll on. We feel honored by having the privilege of playing these levels that were made by such talented authors. As month?s pass, less and less trophies are left. Don?t give up though. We have had players enter numerous competitions before and eventually win because they perfected their craft. Seeing that this contest has been prolonged long enough, here are the results. The winner of the LittleBIGReviewers? April trophy competition (?April Tales?) is: ?Ship Wreck?d? by PacJonno CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You won a LBR Platinum Trophy With a nice opening, this level literally took us from coast to coast as we set sail into the sea where we battled a giant serpent. The story is simple, but it good enough to drive the level with ease. The ships and the docking bay looked great as details were applied to everything. Even the sails were curved to indicate wind. The serpent felt like it had real life as it toppled our little escape ship. Having defeated the slithering snake a huge tidal wave washed us into shore. The wave looked tremendous and huge. The author applied the 3D glitch and he did so marvelously. A hint of humor was added to the mix by a comment made by the captain. There is a very fun mini game once you are on land where you must help Conga(the monkey), gather some coconuts. The obstacles that followed felt rather new with the pleasing surroundings. It is a level were you must be light at your feet and really really fun. The level has a great balance of the story with all the other aspects we take into consideration. The author further cemented his position by submitting the costume. ???????????????????????????????????????????- Honorable mention is given to the following members for their great creations. Notes: * These authors have been/will be hearted shortly. * In order from 2nd place 5th place * Those who submitted a costume reached a higher rank or already could not go any higher because they reached the highest rank. Best of the Best List 2nd ?Whispers in the Dark? by Shindol, ?Revenge of the Bubble? by EnochRoot and ?Sack Scout Camp? by Nanluin 3nd ?Sackalot of the Royal Guard? by Suzie_Q , ?The Flow? by Draden6436 and ?The Heart of the Forest? by Taupipop 4rd ?Spacestation Invasion? by brichmark22 5th ?Chronicles of Van Helsack: Sea of Evil? by arklon22 ???????????????????????????????????????????- Special thanks goes to all to everyone who entered the competition. Thanks, Towers! Take care, and happy gadding! -- Nanluin

Mmm I didn't know about the technical difficulties. Makes me wonder if my level submission was actually received now as I never saw mention of it anywhere at all.

It would be nice if their system included the sending of a confirmation email upon receipt of your entry submission. As buggy as internet form submissions can be, that little verification in your mailbox is reassuring to receive, and it this case, it would have saved much confusion. -- Nanluin

Hey guys! @Nanluin Thank you for posting this, I was just going to do it myself @mistervista Yeah, sorry about that. We did not receive any more entries besides the ones we posted on the site (LittleBIGReviewers.com). Perhaps it was due to the added image option bar that was placed for the costume bonus point. This error never occurred before we placed that. We told Dan from Sackcast to remove it as soon as he could. He is rather busy as well so I understand if it takes him a while.
