Yep, it's Little Dead Space. It's the Monday after Superbowl... my brain is not working.

I tried this level the other day. I think your close but it needs to be tweeked a little. A number of times the pancake would only flip half way leaving me stuck on the edgep and then falling into the fire.

You should be able to grab one side and ride it down. If it's straight up and down, you can even push it one way or the other. It's an acquired skill, no doubt, but my high score on it is completely legit. You can also predict whether it will flip completely based on where it is in the pan...the further to the right, the more likely it is to flip.

While tweaking, I discovered that if I give it enough force/distance to flip every time, it gets too unpredictable and doesn't reliably stay in the pan. The bolt is set at a mere 2 degrees right now, and if I increase it to 3, it becomes unplayable.

I may have to rethink the mechanics entirely at some point.

I reworked the mechanics for a more reliable flip (longer slower swing), but it's reliable to the point of being too easy now. Still, I posted it as a separate level called: Pancake Panic (easy version)

I have to admit, it does look a lot prettier when the pancake flips almost every time. Give it a shot if you have time. Let me know if you like it better.

Anyone have a list of all the free dlc for this game or that was previously free.

The Bus

Is it possible to import images yet?

Also, Uncle Gramps... I played your Domnio Rally / History of the PS3 level but it must be incomplete, right?

UncleGramps

I believe that it's coming soon in an upcoming patch.

Yeah, I threw it together for a PlayStation contest which had an entry period of about two weeks. It's more a proof of concept than anything. I want to revisit the "Rube Goldberg machine" idea again in more depth when I have more time, but then again I still have a Christmas level to finish and it's the middle of February.

I haven't touched the game since late December, because I'm going back through my Pile of Shame and finishing a bunch of them.

Hey...somebody bumped the LBP thread!

I'm still fully obsessed with this game and could easily have been the "Shagrath" of the LBP thread.

If anybody hasn't tried Little Lost, give it a go sometime...and if you haven't played it in a while, you'd only recognize about half of it.

And if you like it...and ONLY if you like it, please heart me as a creator. I'm only 3 hearts away from the trophy, and I want to get it legitimately.

For the OP: My current published levels are:

Little Lost
Pancake Panic: A Survival Challenge
Sackboy Jones
The Shocker

Off the top of my head:

Free with preorder: either Kratos or Heavenly Sword costume
TV head and remote costume
Astronaut costume
Japanese design contest costume
Jack o Lantern costume (Halloween)
Turkey head costume (Thanksgiving)
Santa costume (Christmas)
Chinese new year costumes
Groundhog costume (Groundhog day)

Not sure who's still interested, but I played some fairly amazing community levels this weekend...all as good or better than anything Media Molecule made in terms of depth and polish.

H.A.T.E. & H.A.T.E. 2: Sort of a Portal tribute...has some brilliant puzzles
Jack McSetback and the Buccaneers' Booty: Sequel to The Spikey Stone of Doom
Left Behind & Left Behind 2
The Bearer 1-3: Lord of the Rings Tribute with some seriously amazing lighting/smoke effects

Give these a try if you haven't. You'll be impressed.

...and also play Little LOST

I haven't played this game in forever. I never saw any Groundhog Day outfit

Decker

Thanks chess, I'll check those out.

The Bearer 1-3 sounds awesome!

chess

It is truly beautiful...just be aware that english is a second language for the creator, so the grammer is a bit off here and there.

chess

...also, if you can't find those levels with the craptacular search function in LBP, they should be hearted in my profile, so just search for frizby.

A new version of LBP was just announced for the PSP.

Sweet - the PSP's actually a much better platform for it, as it's a simple game meant to be played in short bursts.

Here's a cool thing I saw on Joystiq last night:

If you want to search for a level by word search, you can put a $ in front of the word, and as best I can tell, it does a very good job finding levels with that word in the title...and it even seems to sort them by rating/hearts, so you get the best levels.

I tried $lost as a test to find my Little LOST, and all the levels I got were 4 star levels. Mine was even on the first page, which was pretty cool, and I played some other LOST themed levels.

This fixes the search problem, at least for me. I just wish a generic search worked this way, just so folks could find good levels in a more intuitive way.

Anyway, I hope that helps...practically fixes the game for me.

That's cool, very helpful to know!

I gave up on this game. I think I played it a total of 30 minutes altogether. Just not as interesting as I thought it'd be.

I might pick it up again when it's $20 or so.

That's really outstanding.

I was very underwhelmed by The Bearers 1-3. Maybe I need to try it another time, but I had high hopes

chess

Sorry to hear that.

The gameplay is just so-so, but I thought he did some really interesting stuff.

The other levels I posted a bit back are far superior.
