LBP 2 Level Review - A Patchwork World

I'm back again with yet another LittleBigPlanet 2 creation and this time I'd like to look at A Patchwork World. It's created by a someone who guess by the ID of 'Malhat06', who's .me prfile you can see via this link. If you're looking something that's maybe a little bit different to a lot of other levels out there, I'd remcommend looking at his (I always presume it's a 'he') stuff.


A Patchwork World, is as Malhat06 describes, "a soft and cuddly adverture through a patchwork world." As you can see from the picture above, this is exactly what the level actually is. The level is made up of various random different soft materials, which are mostly spongy and can be grabbed.
As for the aim of the level, it consists of a mix of different puzzles, the one which is pictured I found the most challenging. Some of the different parts of the Patchworld World include going through a 'jump tunnel' and spinning on wheels.

I suspect this level may have been created using the first LBP, although I don't know this for a fact, but I didn't notice any of the new mechanics in place. But the mechanics I did see used, were used incredibly well. And also, the general feel of the level was something I loved. It's soft, it's squidgy and kind of cuddly. I know, this all probably makes me sound like a seven year old, so that would mean that the game would be directed at my age group, but I'm one to honestly believe that LBP is a "platform for games", just as the game's tagline suggests. I think that with a little bit of imagination and a load of patients, anyone can create interesting levels.

I'd also personally like to thank Malhat06 for actually creating this level, as this is exactly the kind of thing I've been expecting and wanted for LBP since the first one. Even if it is silly and stupid, it proves that Media Molecule have been able to create a game that can grab the attention of every age group and people from all walks of life. Whole groups of people and families could be sitting on the sofa together or even join each other from the other side of the world and become part of an amazing community, where the best part is they make it what they want it be. Literally.

Anyway, I think I drifted off slightly in the last part of that paragraph. And here is also .me link to A Patchwork World.

As with every post, I've been randomthings, this has been just another part of my weird and wonderful virtual word, thank you very much for reading and I'll post again soon.
