Enter simplicity.

These would have been hard to miss if you were looking at the highest rated page on the right days. He's found an exploit in the renderer that lets him make everything look like line drawings and then concentrated on making some unique and interesting shaped platforms that deliver some great gameplay. His other level, Re-Color, adds paintinator action and a retrogaming feel with a cool introduction screen and a colorful boss.

???????? 1P-2P [Ver1.10] R1R1R1???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(/_;)

This level has a great puzzle/adventure feel to it. Basically, you are trying to get out of a factory by finding and activating switches which turn on lights, move things, etc. The factory itself has so much detail it really feels like a real factory. Set aside atleast 20 minutes for this one as you will get stuck, but it's well worth the perseverance.

just an alphabet of fancy capital initials I made, you can pick which ones you want...

Again for creators, a calligraphic 3D alphabet you can collect as individual letters. It's really great seeing creators helping each other like this. A little tip for the Creator, try also giving away cookie cutter shapes of the letter, then other creators can create their own letters and edit them.

The Do's and Don'ts of level making (meant as a guide line people not an insult) I'm adding stuff constantly if anyone has any ideas on what i'm missing leave me a comment thanks!

So so true. This level shows how to not build things in LittleBigPlanet. If you are serious about making great levels then play this. Great idea, hope to see more levels like this in the future.

Just a fun little to try my chops. Have fun and let me know what you think! Heart me so everyone can have fun at The Music Store!!

This is a realistic looking shop full of guitar stuff, so its close to my own heart. Scramble over guitars, amps and keyboards to collect bubbles and prizes. I found this via Candyjunky's hearted list.

you wake up on space station 42 only to find out things have gone horribly wrong...

Drifting through the dark void of space, Space Station 42 is falling apart. With the power generators on the fritz, be prepared for gravity based gameplay as you make your way for the escape pods. This is one of the most clever uses of physics to be seen thus far in LittleBigPlanet.

Make your way from the top of Mount Misery to the small town of Tender Buttes. The journey will be treacherous, and you will meet strangers along the way. Will you choose to help them? How will the townsfolk react? V1.0

Wonderfully cute level set in Bandit Town settings. Absolutley tonnes of gameplay and theres even replayability (try not being evil). Hearted to the max!

The small village has long laid silent at the foot of the abandoned factory. But lately smoke has risen from the old chimneys. Has the factory come alive?

Ole is back with another outstanding level. Set mostly in a factory this level has great ideas and a superb visual style. It also uses the Paintinator and the Paintinator Switches in really original ways. The only critism we could scrape together was that it needs better camera zones, apart from that, Brilliant!
