Sack in a BoxMalhat06
Find your way out of a box and enjoy the card contraptions
Hello.

This is my latest and last level on LBP1 (bar two mini games based on this level). Im gonna wait until LBP2 to do any more full levels.

Anyway, Sack in a Box. This is just continuing my love of the basic materials that LBP has to offer. Iv'e tried to incorporate lots of different contraptions and platforming aspects, some borrowed and some new and have just mashed them all together to create what I hope is a fun level.

Anyone who is precious about their outfits, be warned, there is a ton of paint in this level (had a few complaints already, but in the name of fun, I am keeping the paint in. Just be warned )

Also, community object collection needs to be turned on as there is a scissors sticker to collect and use.

Have fun and enjoy,

Malhat06

Amazing level, it's a perfect platformer and has exceptional visuals, i loved the platforms that threw yellow paint. Good job!

I stumbled across this level the other night and had a blast playing it. I couldn't believe how long it felt (in a good way, lol!) and it's so jam-packed with interesting ideas and contraptions. Really cool and very fun to play. Like Ferrrch I enjoyed the paint splatterings- made me laugh! You manage to make the cardboard look great too - with all the cutouts and shapes it never got dull as a look. I thought the cutout words giving hints on what to do were a great touch.

Just pure platforming greatness which comes packaged in a very stylish cardboard box!

Malhat06.... what should I say??? I stumbled over your level yesterday on the cool level pages and I liked your level badge instantly... as I took a closer look I thougth: hmm, i could try this one.... And your level hit me like a brick.

The style is simple but very clean and unique - The sense of houmor is very cool - The obstacles are brilliant - and the whole stuff plays just "oooooh" - you have a wonderful level here and I can't remember the last level with such a great plattforming.

For me, this one is a masterpiece and has to be played!!!! This level is so "lbp" ... awesome!

:star::star::star::star::star: and <3 for both, author and level. I will defenitely play this baby again! I love it.		2010-09-06 20:33:00

Glad you enjoyed it I really love the basic materials and the simplicity of the Mm game levels was what I loved most about the game when I first picked it up and have always thought that I'd like to make something that feels basic and simple like that. I like my levels to feel like they are LBP levels, not a level from another game recreated.

Thank you for your feedback and stars

Cheers for your feedback The cut outs where one of the first considerations for the level. I spent a few nights trying to work out if I could make the cardboard theme work and what, if any, stickers and decorations may fit with the level. I was really happy with how it turned out.

My wife and I really love the paint, everytime we tested it we laughed at the paint following us (well.. maybe not after the 30th time of testing haha)

Thanks both for your feedback 		2010-09-06 22:27:00

I was very surprised to come home from work to find that 383 people where currently playing my level... quite overwhelming! I had been watching it slowly get the plays over a few days and I suppose today was the tipping point.		2010-09-06 22:29:00

Ah, so it was a level from someone on here. Just had a go on this this afternoon, found it on the cool/busiest/latest (one of them) lists in LBP.
Thought your level design was superb, plain cardboard looking so effortlessly cool (yet well thought out) and particularly liked your excellent and creative use of paint & custom sticker switches.

Keep up the good work 		2010-09-06 23:39:00

If im honest, with the state the 'cool pages' is in, I wasnt expecting much when I clicked it But I was Very, Very wrong!

I love the style of the entire level! and there are some amazing gameplay elements

Ah, here's the creator of that level. I just want to say I loved that level...apart from being attacked be paint lol. This is a good example of a platforming level made right. Well done.2010-09-09 16:29:00

OK, this was one of the types of levels that I enjoy most in LBP. Its original and creative platforming-exclusive entertainment. The level feels entirely fresh and no part of this level will bore you. Everything is both fast paced and fun. Top this off with being extremely polished and its a winning formula for a great level.

The only thing I didn't really like about it was the random paintball attacks.....lol...that felt kinda rude to me for some reason...like Malhat was making fun of me and pestering me while I played his level.

Other than that 5 stars plus hearted! Great addition to the LBP library.		2010-09-09 21:09:00

Hello Malhat!!

Amazing level. I really dig your style. I have become a big fan of yours over the last couple months, and I always check out anything you do.

This level was great fun, and looked super. Not an easy feat with the materials used. I loved the platforming segments and the paint attacks were a nice change of pace, I didn't mind cleaning my costume after it happened. Hahaha, you even warn players in your description, nice touch.

You are very creative. This was so innovative to me. I don't play as much lbp on ps3 as I should but after a level like this it makes me want to keep the disc in a little longer.

I can't wait to see what you do with lbp 2.

Another heart!! <3

really liked this level. one of those fun gems that come along once in awhile... lots of jackofcourse polish and gadder friendly play here, and the really nice trajectory catwalk landings from granite gardens but really felt original with creator personality in it... cardboard material's potential for awesome was tapped out here - this really shows imo that gameplay is the be all end all, and that design, solidarity and structure trumps material sets and a sloppy chaos of stickers when it comes to looks. architecture beats out a coat of paint any day, and makes for better gameplay overall. if only there was a level this good every day.

easily 5. nice to see this kind of stuff do so well instead of the usual.		2010-09-10 04:14:00

Thanks for the review Credit to Lockstitch wth the platforms, I tried to give a little nod to him in the level as it was his granite gardens level that made me want to make another level

I was getting a lot of messages about the paint early on, so thought that I better warn the costume lovers who played! Some players really didn't like that I had ruined their costumes.. I was quite surprised about how much people cared about their costumes haha		2010-09-10 19:06:00

I absolutely loved this level, the platforming was pretty innovative and I really enjoyed the basic cardboard style. Wasn't a huge fan of the visuals in the ending where you pop out of the box, but that's pretty much my only criticism. It was really fun, loved the scissors stickering and how the word describing what you were doing is etched out somewhere in every challenge. The yellow paint was really funny too!

Keep up the good work and congrats on the spotlight!! I gave this level :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3		2010-09-28 00:10:00

I remember playing this a while ago, best level I've played on LBP!

I don't play a lot of levels but that's still saying something 5 starred and Hearted x2 if I remember correctly. 		2010-09-28 06:45:00

Hello all! I've finally got round to competing a little mini maze race based on this level. Simply move down through the maze using sliding boxes and all three layers!

Please be careful, just like a cardboard box, your sack boy or girl is fragile. Try and stay still in the boxes until they stop or it could be fatal!

Oh, and if you go wrong, beware the dreaded yellow paint

Have fun and enjoy!		2011-01-15 12:30:00
