After entering the magic hourglass Mr. Time leads you to a mysterious place, called the Planetarium. The place where the whole time of the universe is controlled by rusty wheels and cogs.

Don't get distracted by the beauty of the ancient planetarium because this place is dangerous! Every step may be your last in this electrified level.

Search for the old elevator which lifts you up in the sky and takes you closer to the paintinator of time. But even the elevator is trapped and only the bravest will survive.

Once you are closer to the universe the ground you stand on gets rare and you got to swing your way to the end.

Can you make it?

k enough epicness...

enjoy the latest level of the sack of persia saga which has nearly nothing to do with prince of persia , this time there are more infinite life checkpoints, therefore it is a lot harder. C'mon people, on LBP1's last days I think you need challenging levels .
Open your eyes and concentrate while you play and you might find 5 diamonds which are hidden along the way.

Finding all rewards you with a survival challenge! OMG

Dodge all the electrified Balls and collect points in this crazy survival challenge. It's like the elevator in the full level with some twists.

I hope you enjoy these 2 levels. And those who make it to the end may post a lot feedback here!

I couldn't finish because it just got too dark to see . I don't know if it was supposed to do that but after the fourth diamond it got dark and stayed that way so I couldn't tell what I had to do2010-08-05 18:37:00

ToBs you did it again! Amazing level. The obstacles were very unique and challenging. I love levels like this. Something that makes you think before you move. This level gave me the same feeling when I Comphermcs Roller Inc. Had my hands sweaty . This level gave me a black eye the first time through but the second time was no problem. I still couldnt beat the race though. The elevator ride was crazy . I cought on after the first 2 deaths. Couldnt play the survival yet because I have the key glitch now. Ill have a friend get it later. My only suggestion would be to put light under the platforms of the diamond area that gets dark Its hard to see them. Ofcoarse this gets 5 stars and a <3

Oh yea love the rainbow effect below on the electrified floor when your hanging from the emitted roller

Beautiful level. Immediately played it a second time, to get all the prizes and diamonds.

Nice how the lighting changes in the secret chamber... you almost forget to dodge those electrified balls...

woah - and here we go again - I'm looking forward playing this one - I have no reason to believe that this one will be not a 5star level. The first level has been a blockbuster and the second part will surely be from the same kind.... I will play this asap..... can't wait to do it....2010-08-06 17:20:00

So, here is my feedback of my play a few hours ago:

First of all: congrats to this nice level-introduction in this thread - it's very funny, specially the line "which is me, thank you very much TOBSn, you are great" HAHA... nice and unexpected.

Well, but I'm here to give some feedback due to this level. What else can I say than just "WOW"... to be honest, Tobs, you scare me... really.... I mean, do you have a pipeline of neverending gameplay/plattforming sources in your head?????? The speed of your creating is amazing and after only a couple of weeks there comes a new level out of your mind-factory. That deserves a specially due to the quality of your creations...

ok, the level: I think that this level is easier than the first part but it's probably your best level so far. The gameflow is brilliant, the atmosphere is (again) great, the hidden diamonds are also a great element in this series (even that I missed one on my first run... d a m n ^^), the depth of detail and the 3-layer-usage is top notch and playing this level is very entertaining. My personal favorite in this level is 1) the rail/track-area: to flip these tracks by 90? to elevate you and your grab-it-vehicle is a stroke of genius, and 2) the cog wheel with the reverse spinning element in the center looks very cool. What I really loved in here is the lighting - it pushes the atmosphere a lot.

Well, I had a chance to beta-test the very first part of it (maybe the first 20% of the final product) - but I never expected it would turn out that great. The only "cons" that I stumbled over: some steps after the start there is a guy with a speach: he isn't in the field of view when the speach-bubble is out. maybe you can lift the camera-angle a bit. And at the end, where you can check out the amount of collected diamonds, there is a visible mag-key-switch .... don't know why, but I think that you had your reasons for leaving it visible, right?

Congrats to an awesome level concept and a great level series. As I mentioned above: this is probably your best level so far. KUDOS to you, Tobs!!! Amazing work. Can't wait to play the third part (... just open your mind-pipeline and let it flow^^)

I'll take a look at this as soon as possible because it looks SO good and your levels never, ever disappoint. More people need to look at your levels!2010-08-07 16:08:00

I couldn't finish because it just got too dark to see . I don't know if it was supposed to do that but after the fourth diamond it got dark and stayed that way so I couldn't tell what I had to do

I've really tried to avoid this. I thought I've added a global lighting switch to every chckpoint you supposed to get spawned within that area. I will definitely fiy that "bug"! thanks for noticing


Me and you should work together sometime

If I wouldnt be that busy, yeah sometime


This level gave me the same feeling when I Comphermcs Roller Inc. Had my hands sweaty

Love!


My only suggestion would be to put light under the platforms of the diamond area that gets dark Its hard to see them.

will do!

Absolutely loved this level visually.2010-08-08 18:10:00

I played this level and here's what I thought.

Just like the first, the visuals were great, I loved the theme. The level was challenging, but not frustrating, at least not for me except for the part where you grab onto the thing on the rail for the second time, there were times when it shot me in the air like it was supposed to but then the top hit me and I got electrified. I loved the secrets and also I liked it how you didn't make them too hard to find since I found them and I'm an okay secret hunter, not nearly as good as ApeCheese. Anyway, you didn't really put much of a story in this one as the other since you only talked to the sands of time one time. Overall though, it was a lot of fun and quite the challenge and sure there were some hard parts and it didn't focus too much on story, I still think it deserves :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3. Also, a creator heart, I don't know why I didn't give you that earlier.

Sometimes I find I never gave a heart to a level that I thought I did - it could quite easily be due to the bug that displays a heart on levels you find through other people's hearted list.

I dont know....it might not have been posted in time so it might qualify for the next one. If not then this level should have definately been spotlighted.

yay, i wanted it to be challenging but still playable, that's why this time there are more infinite life checkpoionts, though I hate them
lack of story... I'm not good in storytelling. But that will change in LBP2 I promise


Also I'd like to thank you for playing and commenting on my level. I appreciate that very much. Keep up the good work and am definitely excited to see what you'll have blooming in LBP2.

Commenting your level *aaah right the temple one". you are welcome. thanks for commenting here on mine
I'm also excited but I know what is coming *harharhar*

thx and <3

Loved this. It's gorgeous, but I enjoyed the platforming even more, fun and challenging, with some really cool ideas. Great level Tob!2010-08-28 17:50:00

I played this also. What a great, TOBS experience! Always unique, always fun, and always gorgeous! This level did pull a few cheap tricks on me with all of its electric blocks and spinning wheels, but it was all in good fun. I didn't finish the level because I failed it, but oh well.... Still great!

pretty amazing level. i love the look, the challenge and the physical platforming... the design really gave it a feeling of acrobatic momentum. i'd actually probably like a hard version with no infinites at all.

it looked gorgeous and everything was rock solid with the structure and scale. gonna have to play your other stuff now.

also the elevator section's design was pure genius. really, really awesome level.
