Quantcast



One of the first thoughts to come to my mind upon booting up Limbo was "how long until someone turns this into a LittleBigPlanet level?" Not long at all, it turns out.

A user by the name of bra2008 (fantastic name, by the way) has a map that is, essentially, Limbo in LittleBigPlanet. Not only in grayscale aesthetics, but also in subject matter -- some of the puzzles are ripped straight out of the source material.

Part two is supposedly on the way. I hope bra2008 is able to incorporate brainslugs somehow.

Thanks, Sackboy! Now I don't have to pay $15 for Limbo!

Neat, but I still like the LBP levels best when they're not mock-ups of actual games.

So when LittleBigPlanet 2 comes out, will there be a reason to buy any other game ever?

how long before the lawsuit, especially as Limbo is currently a 360 exclusive? Such a shame as it looks wonderful!

Oh wow, someone created a crappier version of an already existing stage from another game, didn't see that coming!

Shame to see fanboy trolls downplay Limbo die to a crappy mock-up of the real thing.

Obviously this person is not profiting off of Limbo IP. Therefore, no copyright infringement.

Yes, people have to be fanboy trolls to mock an hour-long flash game that costs 15 bucks.

Great effort, except the puzzles were quite easy compared to Limbo's.

I signed up for that lbp water beta, never heard anything. Is there water in LPB for everyone?

Where is the guy who criticized my suggestion that Limbo could have been done on LBP

This is pretty incredible. If my copy of LBP weren't packed away in a box right now, I'd probably download this.

@brainderailment you have to buy the pirates of the caribbean level pack for LBP to get water. you're actually just paying for the level which comes with the water.

The music is amazing in this level, but it certainly isn't as complex as anything Limbo has. I also hate that stupid multi-layer crap that LBP has. I hate jumping only for Sackboy to latch to the front of the screen.

@Kage,
Maybe to use water in your own level..I don't know...but you can play any community level for free, so the water update was basically free.

I hope your joking.

There's actually a half dozen of these levels, and one named Limbo played a little closer to the actual game.

nice job, although anyone who has actually played limbo will know that there MUCH more going visually that just shilouette.

This is pretty incredible. If my copy of LBP wasn't sitting all the way on the shelf right now, I'd probably download this.
