The LittleBigPlanet Central Spotlight crew have been at it again, this time directing their level loving eyes towards the PSP, and one of the stars of that Community; Jeffcu28.
Whilst a lot of us might have eyes firmly focused on LittleBigPlanet 2, The LittleBigPlanet PSP community has been hard at work building some really interesting and fun looking levels, and generally having a lot of fun.
Kindred is a highly teased community project from a big gang of excellent PSP Creators, who used LittleBigPlanet Central as a staging ground for their ARG-like teasers. Working with QR codes, secret messages, beautifully crafted artwork, and various puzzles, the team behind this level pack confused and excited the PSP community for several weeks before finally revealing more about the project.
Here’s something special for all you creators who like making magical, mystical, fantastical levels: a background that’s not quite of this world, with majestic white mountains and a huge serene lake. Put it to good use, it’s gorgeous.
Look out for this background on the PlayStation®Store. It’s free, gratis, without charge, complimentary, a big fat gift from us to you.
We like Motorstorm, and we like the crashes in Motorstorm in particular. The way the poor bike riders fly through the air like rag dolls is brilliant. So who better to be a motoring rag doll than Sackboy himself? Download the Motorstorm Hessian Stitch Costume and Level Pack and make Sackboy your very own crash test dummy, heading to the store next week!

Daga daga daga! If we’re perfectly honest, the jump jet caused us rather more problems than we would have liked. It’s such a cool vehicle though we struggled through, since we couldn’t bear to let it fall by the wayside. The plane itself again follows the military style from the last two levels, so you can now expand your domination of land and sea by taking control of the Little Big skies too!

The final level. No pressure, then! To be honest this level was a bit of a headache. And not just a normal headache, but a big, fat headache, one of those ones that the ibuprofen doesn’t even take the edge off.
The main reason for this was that, like Jon’s submarine, the jump jet is effectively ‘floating’, and so can be really difficult to control. Now, Jon’s luckier than me because the sub’s supposed to be underwater, so moving really slowly is a good thing. Not for a jump jet though, eh? Oh no, something like that’s got to be moving pretty quickly. And we want it to have controls for four directions, not three (the sub is naturally buoyant). Four controls for one cockpit. Grrreat.
