Play Gamer PlatformerMorgana25 A basic platformer made for Play Gamer magazine from the UK. I had 24 hours to make a level (in actuality 9 hours because of time zone issues) and this is what I was able to throw together. I based it on the magazine's logo and it's an abstract style platformer. Hope you guys like it. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/Morgana25_photos/ICON0.png So, I'm pretty sure the article has been published so I can unlock this level I made back in June for Play Gamer magazine. GrantosUK gave them my name as someone to talk to about LBP and the future of customization of games. xkappax (Sara) is in the article too. She's scanning the article and I'll try and post a link to it here when she's got it all set. Want to throw a HUGE thank you out to comphermc, who when I was 4 hours away from the deadline came riding in like a knight in shining armor and helped until 3am on a Sunday night! You rock comph - the second half of the level wouldn't have been made without you!

Hey, very good level, extremely polished and fun with addicting bubble collecting. Its amazing that this could've been cranked out in the time constraints you had. 5/5!

Hiya- I had a lot of fun playing this, there was a bunch of point chains and secret areas. This felt different than your other levels, but in a good way. Great work! I rated it :star::star::star::star::star:.

I can't wait to play this level tonight! Your levels are amazing! Nine hours to create? If I had that much time to make a level, it would have to rely heavily on rocket cheetahs.

Well since I only had 9 hours I had to keep some stuff pretty simple but I think it still turned out pretty good. There's lots of stars and metal and VR material. If I'd had a little more time I could have made it a little longer but deadline is a deadline. lol.

Wow... 9 hours or 24 hours? You mention both. Was it a contest that you found out about late or what? I remember you telling me about this, but obviously I was half asleep when you did!!

It was nine hours. She didn't realize that there was a deadline... Ha! And, Morgy - you're welcome. It's not everyday I get to wear my shining armor. (it gets heavy!)

Ooh! Sounds fun. I'll try playing it sometime this week and I'll tell you what I think.

lol - yea, I knew I had to make something for them but I didn't know what. So after about six emails to the guy from the magazine it dawned on me they wanted a level and at that point I had 9 hours before he needed the level for pictures and stuff. Grant made a survival challenge level for them that I'm sure he'll unlock when he gets back to his ps3.

Played this tonight Morgana and it was good! Sometimes you need a quick straight forward platformer. I am actually amazed at your creating speed. Looks like you're wayyyyy faster than me. I couldn't create this in 9 hours that's for sure!

Wow! The pictures look great! I'll be sure to add this one for my 'to-play' list, which I will hopefully be using today if I have the time *adds to list*

I liked the theme, it was fun plus it was a good bit for 9 hours. Plus, who can't love a ton of points plus extra points from the star sticker areas. Great job and I liked logo. :star::star::star::star::star:

How you managed to produce such a great level in nine hours is puzzling I look forward to the article! I remember gruntos tweeting about it some time ago....

Ok, third time lucky, keep freezing my computer whenever I try to post >_< Anyway..... FEEDBACK! Gameplay I really enjoyed the gameplay in this level, it was a simple 2D platformer and it was very enjoyable to return to the style of level that LBP was full of for the first year or so, now they are still around, but less frequent, and I always enjoy returning to platformers every once and a while to 'relax' and not have to think about what to do, or where to go too much Visuals It was very surprising to me to find a Morgana25 level, made out of metal, and all tech-looking! Usually we see you creating beautiful landscapes, ancient temples etc, and it was nice to see how versatile you are! Of course, it wouldn't be one of your levels without lighting, and true to form it was very subtle, but also effective. At one point, where you had to jump up on different platforms to get onto a higher ledge, the light from above the gap cast down on my sackboy, very gently, but really brought out the colours of my Sackboy's mane and clothes! It looked fantastic! Other notes I really don't think anyone else could make a level of this standard in only 9 hours! You remain one of my favourite creators, and this is an excellent addition to your already excellent line-up of levels. Rating I adored this level! :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3 !!

Great platforming level Morgana. The platforming visuals looked awesome and it's well decorated with stickers and decorations. 5 stars and a heart.

Amazing platformer. The fact that this was made in 9 hours makes you appreciate it even more. :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3

Awesome level, loved the clean, stylish look and the fast gameplay. Really like some of the original obstacles, like the rotating oval, where you need to jump down once it's vertical. Good stuff.

That specific obstacle is all comph's... neat isn't it

That was a really fun level The Incredible's shiny material was used very well in this! :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: and a <3 .

For 9 hours this was definitely a great level. I'm not sure if i would be that fast. You should become a "last minute print magazine level maker" For 9 hours great stuff but no heart for you cause it's more an average platformer but you mastered your challenge well

really neat and tidy level!!!! enjoyed it very much!!! the use of some brilliant obstacles helped me rate this :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3 for good measure!!! cant wait to see the magazine

What struck me about this was how polished the level was. I know I couldn't do anything close the quality of this in under 9 hours. It looked really good and was fun to blast through. I might challenge myself to create something under a time limit. But then again I would probably cheat due my obsessive creator disorder. Anyways congrats on this achievement. I bow down to your speed demon creator ways.

You know when I realized what kind of time I had to get this done in I decided two things immediately. 1. abstract was a must - no time for detailed characters or complex story. 2. grid - grid - grid - I'm not usually creating using grid since most of my stuff is organic but if you want stuff to line up and look uniform in a hurry, grid is your best friend. I'd given myself a two hour level build challenge before this in the water beta and that one wasn't bad but not the most fun either. I did discover that if you give yourself a tighter deadline you have to prioritize what is important in the level and where to put your time and what can simply be ok but not overdone. I highly recommend the exercise for creators out there who want to get better at organizing a level and how to manage your time when creating.

Well, I played this last night and I did enjoy it. Nothing spectacular, but it was fun and definitely unique! It was fun just jumping on all the squares and rectangles and stuff. Was also very nice on the visual side. It's amazing that you can make a level like that in 9 hours when I can't finish a level in 9 months... Great job! :star::star::star::star::star:

Just played it and it was really fun. Simple and fun. I was also running around and somehow I fell all the way down when I should have moved to the block in front of it. On my way down I found your name and comphermc. I was going to explore more but I died from some object.

Well I had a great time in this level. Amazing to think that it was created in 9 hours. 24 hours would have been hard to believe. I did get stuck in one spot, but I can't really call you out on that under the circumstances. It looks great, plays really well, and is a lot of fun. I'd love to see you apply this style to a full-fledged level - I've no doubt you'd find huge success in the community with it. :star::star::star::star::star: + <3 and tagged Fun and Great (yeah - I played it a few times )

Wow! Looks great! In only Nine hours? 0.o Wow.. You work fast! I could learn a few things about finishing levels that i create from you

Wonderful level Morgana!! I love platforms so it was perfect for me. 5 stars, one heart! I don't give those out readily. Can't believe you did that in 9 hours. I could see Comphermc's input in there.

Cool platformer, with unique style. Good job.
