March Madness Trophy Contest Video!!!

Hello LittleBIGPlaneteers!

Here, we have for you this month’s (March Madness) trophy contest video. It took us a while to create and record. Gocubsgo2 uploaded it a short while ago.  We would like to personally thank our friends Samalot and  BARBED-WIRE. They appear in the video. Zzbobber appeared in last month’s video (Friendly February) and we would like to give a big thank you to him as well. The video embodies our One Year Anniversary as we demonstrate some of the key facts and ingredients that helped inspire and create our wonderful trophies. For the rules and to enter click here.

Some of the things we had in mind were:

1. Players saying that they finished the game.
2. Players had attained all them LBP trophies.
3. Players who desired to acquire recognition for their hard work.

Our ingredients:

1. The idea (Light bulb)
2. The dedication (Heart)
3. The knowledge of how to make the trophies (Brain)
4. The discipline (The crown)
5. The tools (Metal)
6. Finally , the spark that helped ignite it all. The LittleBIGReviewers (The Missile)

Winning team of the 6th LBR Trophy Competition!

Teams… this was war!

We had teams of two and three members participating. The themes and concepts varied broadly between them all. They ranged from Artic and Egyptian themed puzzlers and platformers to light saber battles, sticker galleries  and a western. The main question is everyone’s mind right now is, which team combination packed the greater punch?

**Drum Roll**

Now, after much fun and excitement, the winning team of the LittleBIGReviewers’ February Level competition (‘Friendly February’) is:

“A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP” by KodeRiter722, ekelrock & mrgenji CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Each of you has won a  LBR Platinum Trophy.

A Tale of the Sea to Win A PSP #1

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #2

This friendly trio really brought all their skills and artillery. Just as the level opened up, we knew were about to embark on a marvelous journey. The introduction is one of the best best we have ever witnessed.  The way the pirate ship made its entrance while it towed the level’s title into the screen emitted a nice vibe. It was then followed by some neatly designed characters. One of them was an avid PS3 gamer  who shifted his arms up and down as he held the controller. The other character present was an elderly man, who without a doubt, seemed to know much about life at sea with his white bushy beard, yellow raincoat, big black boots and walking cane. He stood up from his rocking chair and carefully stepped towards the boy. The movements given to them were eerily realistic and mesmerizing. The elder told of his adventures at the high seas; which served as a smooth transition to the core gameplay of the level.

 

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP#3

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP#4

We found ourselves in the boiler room of a ship. As we made our way through some machinery derived obstacles, we saw how huge and majestic it was. Metal food carts rolled back and forward in the hallways trying to block our path  Water suddenly started to rise from below and we quickly found an exit through a flight of stairs and took a plunge into the cold waters.

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #5

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #6

After climbing into a rescue boat, we got swallowed by a giant sea creature and made our way onto an island. After an encounter with a cute and mischievous coconut throwing chimp, we passed by a fiery volcano.

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #7

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #8

Thinking that this level could not get any more epic, we then swim with mermaids and other sea critters and reach Atlantis. The structures and the scenery were incredibly constructed. The way in which the building, leaves and column stickers were placed and implemented was nothing short of outstanding. The water mill looked great too.

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #11

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP#12

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP #13

A Tale of the Sea to Win a PSP#14

At the end, credit was properly given to all of those involved in this inspiring piece of work. You might be asking yourself, what is the level’s name referring to? Well, to put it simply, the people from LittleBIGNetwork.com are currently running a contest where you can win a PSP (PlayStation Portable). In order to win it, you must conjure up a level that embraces a tale of the sea. We asked ourselves, will any of their entries match the caliber that they have set themselves? Time will tell and we encourage you to try.  Good luck to all of you who enter it.
