Luckett's Picks - japanese gems

Archive: 6 posts


Hi there! I used to co-run a big LBP User Level thread on GAF as 'Wurm' before, but I got banned and have been craving to share my 'pick' of levels ever since! I wasn't sure what the policy was on here about showing other peoples levels, but to hell with it!

As we all know, LBP's search is rubbish and great levels rot in its depths. Most western levels get pimped across many forum threads and news sites, but other than the ground-breaking RRR30000's twisting of LBP's engine, very few japanese levels get the limelight due to how hard they are to find!

This is a big mistake, because the japanese community time and time again shows us all up (I remember the insane stuff they created in Graffiti Kingdom for instance!!). So here are a few of my top picks from obscure japanese levels!!

Luckett's Japanese Gems
A pro tip for most japanese levels is endure the difficulty! Most are really tricky and complex, but thats why I like them and hope many of you do! All these levels can be found in my Hearted list (Luckett_X) if you can't find them through search!

After a tricky initial swinging vine segment, this level settles into some great physics puzzles and is an all round solid experience in a solid looking crypt/ancient ruin area! Theres a great puzzle with sliding doors and exploding treasure chests at the end!

What a great visually appealling level! A motif of cats and fish is prevailant throughout, with some tricky platforming involved. A glass slope segment might frustrate you to no end, but persevere! The level just looks great with simplistic yet colourful custom cat and fish objects!

Really atmospheric and interesting level. Great lighting tricks and ambient sound make this a unique experience. This japanese levels "RAAAAHHHHHH" frustration segment involves a moving block platforming puzzle. Solve this and you'll be treated to some of the most amazing lighting effects in a LBP User Level to date, which this animated gif depicts:

I'll be sure to add more japanese levels to this thread when I find them, but remember people! Check interesting/great creators Hearted lists as theres a good chance they have good taste in levels too!

I came across that first one before. Phenomenal level. It's refreshing to see a level about clever puzzles instead of swinging over fire pits. :3

Why do the Japanese always show us up? T__T

Playing AQUA unlocks right at the start a linear showcase level made with just the fancy lighting effects, just in case the level proves too tough. They've made another level and its ace, so I'll post pics and info here in a bit.. not many people visit this forum/reply it seems!
