LittleBigPlanet Level - Jungle Drums (Survival Challenge)

Jungle Drums is - like one could already guess by looking at the level name - a so-called survival challenge. Your goal is to survive as long as possible. If you die, the game is over and scores are set. The probably most special thing about this level is that it is built up randomly each time you play it. This means that you'll basically get another challenge with each playthrough.


As soon as all players have moved on to the starting area, a countdown begins and the level starts. It's a horizontal stage. large "blocks" containing certain jump'n'run-passages or little puzzles will move in from the left side and slowly move to the right side. The playing area is encased by toxic gas; move too far to either the right or left side of the screen and the game will be over. As already mentioned, the segments move from left to right. The movement speed increases every few seconds. The player has to overcome all obstacles as fast as possible, trying not to fall too far behind, which would result in getting killed by the toxic gas frame. At the moment, there are 28 different level segments included which will appear randomly. That means: every time you play the level, it will be a completely different challenge to you. 6 specifically designed point bubbles are placed in each segment, but the lion's share of points can be collected at a special "points pool" where you will be spawned after dying. The longer you manage to survive, the more points you'll get.


The graphical style is mostly jungle-like, with a few steam-punk inspired segments in it. I have tried to find a balance between graphics and gameplay aspects, and I think it turned out to look pretty good.


Well, you might give it a try if you want. It has got around 800 plays yet, and I hope there are some more highscore-obsessed guys out there who want to get on top of the rankings.

My PSN-ID is "Treas". If you desire to add me, include a quick note like "Youtube Video". That will be fine.

I am the guy with the green colored skin. The guy dressed in black is a good PSN-friend and excellent level-creator called Jack_Hera. Search for his levels (or for vids of his levels on my youtube-acc) - you sure won't regret it.

[Noshire]

Thank you very much! I'm in kind of a creative downtime at the moment. Too many other projects and games and only little spare time. I will, someday, come back to LBP however.

im making my own version of this kind of survival and i wanna know wat u used to randomize this

[Noshire]

Nice to hear that! I'm working on a sequel to Jungle Drums as well, let's see which turns out to be the best amongst our side-scrolling havoc SCs :)

I used a special, self-invented randomizing system; you'll get a youtube-PM including some details, as I don't want to unveal it to all readers.
