Best Platformer level of LBP2!

Archive: 30 posts

I have been searching for simple and nice base jumper levels to play in LBP2, but they are really hard to find. So I decided to keep a contest. I want you to create a base jumper level using LBP2 tools. The contest'll end 6th of June, leaving you total of THREE WEEKS to create a platformer level. This is not only a great chance to win a big bunch of XP, but to also get a good review of your skills. Here are the rules:
-It must be a base jumper level
-It must be easily recognized as LBP2 creation
-It can have Controlinators in it, if they are for platforming sections.
-You CAN mix a few other genres with it, but it still must clearly be a platformer.
Simple rules enough. Here are the things I review the levels by:
-Length. A good length gives level replayability and makes it more fun.
-Difficulty. Not too hard, not too easy.
-Use of gadgets. Grapple Hooks, Grabinators, Creatinators, Controlinators, and Bounce Pads will give level a way higher score.
-Theme. It can be themed simply, but if theme is original it'll get a higher score.
-Visuals. The better the visuals the higher the score.
-Audio. The music choice/music created and sound objects will effect the overall.
I'll explain you the score thing here. The max score of level is 100, and there are several things that'll effect to it. Here is the list of the things that effect level's overall score:
Difficulty: 20 Score
Length: 15 Score
Visuals: 15 Score
Audio: 10 Score
Theme: 10 Score
Contents of level: 30 Score

The level with highest score wins! The price? Here's the thing:
1st place- 3000xp
2nd place- 1500xp
3rd place- 500xp

That's it. Now go on and make a nice level! Post the level in this thread, and if any chance, also link the LBP.me page.

THE CONTEST ENDS 16TH OF JUNE!
I'll return from holiday 14th day, so the winner will be decided that weekend.		2011-05-16 15:35:00

I love this idea man! I've always been looking for great base jump levels as well but I have yet to find one like you've said. I'll gladly enter this contest, but I was wondering if controllinators through use of sackbots is allowed because I have a pretty cool idea if that's not prohibited. Great idea for a contest I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! 2011-05-19 01:11:00

That's a level based around Jump Pads, among other things. I've never heard bounce pad levels called Base Jumpers, so I'm just trying to clarify. If my level fits the criteria, then I'll enter it . 		2011-05-19 14:18:00

I don't see how that's a synonym for platformer...I was thinking like the other guys that it's like jumping off buildings and going from one to the other with like adrenaline-pumping action. That's what I'm doing anyways. 		2011-05-20 21:22:00

Ok, in that case I'll edit this a little bit. For no more confusions, I mean.		2011-05-21 08:16:00

Oh... Darn. No controllinators?
Could you make an exeption if it is a Sackbot that you are controling?		2011-05-21 15:43:00

Yeah. I think the use of Controlled Sackbots could make this better and all you to give your character more uses for each button. I have an idea that relies on being able to use a Sackbot, but if it's not allowed, that's fine too.		2011-05-21 19:50:00

Ok, I made a few changes now:
-Controlinators are OK, as long as they are for platforming.
-Mixing up a few other level genres is OK, but it must still be a platformer.		2011-05-23 05:37:00

hey don't know if this is still running but i'd love to submit my level i'm Karlthemessiah or search The Asylum Platformer

Took 3 people 24 hours in create mode to make, its hard but not impossible.
We have unique bosses, fun platforming sections

Some of our friends who play no games have tried it and not wanted to give over the controller for help even on the harder areas, and they all manage it with a sense of accomplishment in the end .

Please come and check it out we'd love to try to win this it's our first creation but we havn't slacked a bit.
still working on making videos for it but we think the platforming stands out on it's own. Enjoy it!		2011-06-04 21:53:00

Oh, misses that controllinators can be used now. I think my level will fit. It's called, Jumper. The LBP.me link is in my Sig.

If for some reason the controllinator disqualifies my level, that is fine. Just le me know. Thanks. 		2011-06-05 15:56:00

@se-mi92
It doesn't really matter did you originally build it for this contest or not, as well as it's published the time this has been up. If you published that level in February (for example), it's not accepted.		2011-06-06 08:36:00

Hey, I will try to enter the level that I am thinking about entering... So does this end the 16th of June, or 6th of June? oh, and what is a platformer? It probably sounds dum of me to ask that question... but I really don't know what it means. If it is still going until the 16th, I'll see if I can still enter it. It depends if I can get online by then.2011-06-06 13:27:00

I'll enter my level 'Up - A Platformer' (http://lbp.me/v/0nn4d1). It's been published like a few weeks, I'm sure if that's allowed, but heck, may as well play it, right?

EDIT: Silly me, it's already gone the 16th of June. What an idiot! How embarrassing.... :blush:		2011-06-24 18:11:00
