A few months after the release of LittleBigPlanet Vita, we check out some of its best user-created levels and minigames.
2D/3D
Tapping the left shoulder button in this ingenious platformer switches the camera between 2D and 3D views of the action. Red objects are interactive in the foreground from one perspective but are relegated to the background from the other, which makes for some neat puzzles.
Real Big Planet
This all-too brief level puts LBP Vita's invisible crafting material to great use, transforming everyday items in photos into solid objects that you can jump between. There's very little that's challenging between the start and finish lines, but details like an interactive radio and working AR cards make this one a joy to play.
[JPN] Wooden Crown
There aren't many LBP levels that cram this much craftsmanship and creativity into such a small space. Built almost entirely from wood, Wooden Crown is an intricate art piece that you get to run around and solve puzzles in. Nigh impossible to finish without feeling like you missed something, expect to play it more than once.
The Blank Zone
Color has been stolen from the world and it's down to you to restore it in this great-looking level. The front touch-screen gets a lot of use in some tricky spots early on, but make it past that occasionally awkward stuff and the latter part of the level feels like an entirely different game.
They Came From My Nightmares
This horror-themed level seems harmless enough at first blush; there's nothing especially scary about a picture falling from a wall, after all. It squeezes some surprisingly effective scares into the short time that it takes to play, though, and has good sound design to boot.
Honey Village (platformer)
This delightful platformer wouldn't look at all out of place as a level in the LBP Vita campaign. Not only is the presentation top notch, but the gameplay is varied and makes smart, sparing use of the touch-screen.
Minecraft Adventure
There are a lot of user levels loosely based on popular games, but unlike many of them, this one is rather good. It incorporates gameplay elements that fans of Minecraft will appreciate and, when it ends, definitely leaves you wanting more.
Tower Of Whoop
for Vita
You might remember Tower of Whoop as a great, fast-paced level from Da Vinci's Hideout in LittleBigPlanet 2. It's a race to the top of a tower using grappling hooks and bounce pads that's too fun to only play once. This remake is great.
The level that plays itself (1P)
Does exactly what you think it does. Get in position, let go of the controls, and watch as you're thrown through the air, collect points bubbles aplenty, and wind up back at the start with the option of doing it all again.
Digital Ninja Survivor[Demo Ver.]
Creating an LBP Vita game in which you play as a ninja sprite armed with shurikens and a sword is no mean feat, especially when that game is fun to play. If you enjoy this brief demo, be sure to check out the "Skanda Heaven" levels from the same creator.
Found (or created) a great LittleBigPlanet Vita level that you think should be included in this feature? Let us know in the comments below and, if we like it, we'll include it in an update.
Justin's youth was largely misspent playing Commodore 64 and Amiga games. He left the UK's Official PlayStation Magazine to join GameSpot in 2000, believes that he's one of the best Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe players in the world, and puts HP Sauce on everything.
The levels done by the people all over the world are just mind blowing. I love that this game just gets bigger and better. The PS Vita was made for this game. On another point...I have a Retro Twin Stick Shooter just been improved with only a couple of plays. I hope some of you will give it a go and like it. Cheers. http://vita.lbp.me/v/-bxr6
totenhaus zombies, unlike most zombie survivals this one is way better because it's very detailed and highly interactive
That list is meh After playing hundreds of levels on LBP Vita I can say without a doubt there are much better levels than those.

@AbrahamZX1 I already included five of those, but I'll be sure to check out the others you mentioned when I have some time to update this feature. Thanks :)
Finally getting my copy of Little Big Planet 2 for PS3. What can I say, I'm a sucker for infinitely generating content from the user community. When I get a Vita, this will definetly be on my list.
1 Like All I needed was LBP and the MG Collection. I'll be playing them for a loonnngg time.
Get a Vita. You won't regret it.
@BenderUnit22 Cool, I hope you like it :) If you didn't pick it up already (and assuming you're even remotely interested in card battling games) I recommend downloading Uncharted: Fight for Fortune. I've spent hours with it, and I believe it's only $4.99.
I've played all these levels and they are all fantastic. I've made a level on the vita called Luna Navigator that has save features if anyone would like to give it a try. Thanks :)
2 Like It's amazing how creative people are in little big planet, all these levels are great.
Thanks for sharing gspot.
LOL, for a minute I thought it was promoting LBP as Vita's BEST GAME, as in the best ever...Not quite!
And why shouldn't it be? It's one of the most creative and original games that have come out in a long time. Besides, why are you making a comment like that when the device hasn't been released that long?
3 Like @tgwolf And what would you say is Vita's best game? Because if LBP isn't it, it's damn close.
1 Like @tgwolf I couldn't agree more with u. I was expecting just another lbp game, but this one really surprised me. It is almost an endless expericence which desperately need to go online. I've played all these levels indicated in thi article and there are many many more as fun, you jut have to look 4 them
1 Like @TheEveryMan That's not what I meant. The online feature, in my opinion, is one of the triumphs of the game, which greatly expands it and shouldn't be missed by the players. Of course, the story mode is great, the characters are still funny, weird and make lbp vita's story one of the best so far... I love the game
What are you saying? You literally showered the game with praise in this comment and then go on to say you're only gripe with it is the fact it doesn't have online. Do all games need online to be great? LBP can benefit from it, but they've chosen not to, and that isn't a crime.
Amazing, I don't think I have the patience, or time, to make something that intricate. Nicely done, people.
All the creations were beautiful and well created..I liked They Came From My Nightmares the most.
2 Like I've been looking for someone to play this game with online. My PSN ID is "FourSwordFusion" for anyone up to play. I'm gonna go check these levels out now.
1 Like I added both of you! :)
My ID is SlapHappy1996 (I know, it's an awful name but I can't change it now). :P
1 Like @DiverseGamer @3SidedSquare lol I think that's a great name! It made me giggle. :]
2 Like Thank you for posting all of these really cool user-created levels. It's nice that you guys are pretty much offering to promote Gamespotters' LBPV levels here on the site. I may have to check some of these out once I finally get the game!
4 Like User creations are the best part of the"LBP franchise!!
There's always amazing levels to discover.
