Welcome to last ever Contraption Challenge...... in LittleBigPlanet 1. Don't worry, they'll be back with LBP2 .

For this challenge you need to make a contraption that has one simple goal - exterminate all Sackpeople! Lets face it, being slapped all day gets annoying. They need teaching a lesson!

Your contraption could be anything from a machine that chases Sackboy, destroying everything in its path, to an evil spaghetti-monster with multiple attack phases. Think of it as being a boss or an enemy but without the need for you to fight back. The crazier and more original your idea, the better!

EDIT: How could I forget to mention??? The winner of this challenge will not only recieve a Crown, but also a 46" Bravia TV!!!!

For all the rules, details and other important stuff, make sure you read the thread at the Official PlayStation forums (http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/LittleBigPlanet-PS3-General/LittleBigPlanet-Contraption-Challenge-12/m-p/11815897#U11815897).


Good luck, and have fun!

Would the infinite lives tutorial level that came in the Creator pack 1 by Media Molecule be a good example? That made dying fun! 2010-11-10 19:32:00

I have two ideas that I can't wait to do! The first is under construction - I've been working on it for a couple of hours and it's not far off coming out of the concept stage!

Unfortunately that isn't a contraption, more of a booby trapped level

Oh wow what great news for Irish creators.
I know a few that will undoubtedly get through the top ten, including Oneeyedbanshee.
My creation skills arent up to par with someone like him so I dont think there is any point in entering...
But... the chance to meet MM, thats something entirely different XD might as well give it a shot.

I am going to try this. and i think i have a small chance. cause, if there is one think i know how to do, it's kill a sackboy. mine is going to be crazy. i wish i could share my idea with you, but then, i'd have to kill LOTS of people, so it wouldn't get leaked. so, you'll just have to wait an see.... ( for, about.... a week and two days, ( weekend after this one. ) Finally they came up with another one of these things. i have been waiting for it. cause i really wanted to enter, but about the time i got online with lbp, the contests stopped...

EDIT* I just realized.... it says the contest is only for those who live in europe ( and that area ) i live in the US, which means.... T.T DARNIT! i really wanted to try this. stupid geographical exemptions, keeping me from being a part of a cool contest for a game that was released WORLDWIDE!
if i can't enter, i may just do the same as this guy did.... http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/8/23/7669d8af-d349-455c-aa51-08d222b25ae8.gif ( jk )

Anyone can enter, only thsoe from EU can become finalists and win the prize. But we'll still be doign a More We Liked video to show other entries we liked, so your level could still end up on that!

@>er - you can make it into a survival if you want but we only judge the contraption, not the gameplay.

@Doopz - yes, but instead of the level killing you it'd be a contraption.

there should be an american prize. this upsets me. everything Mm and PSN have done for LBP and LBP2 has made me very happy, until this. Giving Americans a contest to enter, and then saying * No. The Prize is only for Europeans. So, Enter Anyways, and hope you get yours in a video.* Figures the one time I catch an OFFICIAL contest, it is for europeans only.... ( as far as prizes... ) http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/5/3/129174015735897346.gif They practically hit me in the face from the other side of the world! I really wanted that crown!

The simple fact is this is a SCEE event. Because prizes are involved, the rules have to be that it's only open to Europe. If there was a way to include US and everywhere else, we certainly would do. We aren't 'giving Americans a contest to enter', we're giving Europeans a contest to enter but still allowing everyone else to at least take part and join in the fun.

If you want to enter an official contest for America, then you'll have to wait until SCEA decide to do something I'm afraid.

You guys forgot that Media Mokecule gives out crowns to people who have made "outstanding levels", so winning a crown is always available to everyone. And in theory, If you make an outstanding Contraption Challenge level, you can win a crown for that.2010-11-12 02:37:00

oh wow another Contraption Challenge lol I will probably enter it depends if im not that busy with the LBP2 beta lol

Also Nuclerfish I have a proposal for you.
We all know that there are many incredible contest like your Contraption Challenges, my Pod Design Contest, The Caption Contest, ect. We all have incredible contest that we should be proud of so I was wondering if we can do a A4A (Advertisement for Advertisement). Is very simple I edit my contest info and put a link talking about your contest and why should you enter and I will do the same.

Come on what do you say

YAY! A challenge! Wait- I have to be 18 years old...... Well, my "dad: will enter for me. Can I do that?

I put about 3 or 4 hours into a level today. It's coming along nicely. I doubt it's a contest winner, due to it being... Not particularly out of the box, but I'm more interested in just talking to other entrants and whatnot for shiggles, anyways.

As for this being EU only, come on, Americans! You guys get everything! It's actually kind of annoying to see comments about how America gets left out, when this simply isn't the case for the vast majority of events, releases and special features.
If you want to swap SCE devisions, I'm certain all the Europeans would gladly agree.

If you happen to live with another entrant that you're working on the contraption with then i'd assume so.

I suppose you could take 23"s of the screen each, but that'd hardly be worth entering for

In other news, i've finally decided what I want to build xD

I have two entries. They both took about 3 (separate) 3 hour nights nights... I hope you like them, I don't think the second is that up to scratch, or if I'll have enough time to make it any good!

Please take a look and let me know what you think!

CC12 - General Grievous Sackily Harm

CC12 - Whomping Willow

Wish me luck, and good luck to everyone else!!

Oh poop, my TV doesn't work anymore and I was getting so close to finishing off the boss T-T
Well good luck to anyone and everyone that enters the competition.

I am still ticked about my TV not working and having no other TV in the house that works with my PS3 Dx
I also couldn't be a finalist either since I have to be 18 or over (is 17).

I didn't have high hopes anyway since there is loads of great Irish creators out there, I so I didn't really stand a chance anyway XD

Haha, I did think of you when I was making concepts

OKINGO suggested I made it chase you, so I had to rebuild my original design... I think it kind of works, but having rushed it towards the end to finish for the deadline!

I actually read that there was a new CC, got overexcited, came up with 2 ideas, then forgot about it... now I'm way to late...
I was going to make a Pig Death Robot (For the Pigs to take revenge on the Angry Birds).
Maybe I'll make it anyway... What do you guys think?
Anyways, good luck to the people that did enter in time!
