I couldn't sleep last night, so I spent a few hours screwing with the level editor in Little Big Planet. This is my second attempt at creating a level, and I decided to do something a little more ambitious than just an obstacle course.
I took inspiration from the recent Shadow of Colossus levels that had you traveling through the enemy. Instead of a monster, or colossus for that matter, I made an ENORMOUS Destructoid robot. You start by entering at foot level, and make your way to the helmet.
This level is decently long, and its pretty hard (so expect to die quite a bit). I have managed to beat the level 2 times already without dying though.
The name of the level is "Hey, Mr. Destructoid!".
Media Molecule has already hinted at leaving the existing beta levels intact upon release, so leave me some feedback. I'll try to improve upon it after the full game releases.
Also, check out my original level "Conor's House" if you get a chance.
Thanks!

When does the beta end officially? I'd like to try your level out, but won't be able to until my kids go to bed tonight. I hope that shit doesn't end today.
It doesn't end until Sunday evening I think.. so you'll be good. Expect a lot of freaking people on tonight though, so download times may not be amicable.
Dammit! I wish I got into that damn beta. Even when there was those 15,000 beta keys I still missed it. This level sounds awesome. I wish you had pics though....
yeah my name is CountingConflict on PSN.. you can just search for the title of the level, which is "Hey, Mr. Destructoid!"
I'm glad that you guys are enjoying it. If anyone has the means to capture video of the level, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd like to share with the rest of the site who don't have ps3s (I'm looking at you Nihon!)

I'll be honest, I didn't relise this came out.
Nice level! I had a tricky time on the part with the ice floor and those little electric poles, I kept sliding into them accidently lol.

I really, really need a PS3. And by need one, I mean need to win one because I don't have $500.
