That&#8217;s because Maniacolus built it with limited lives.  When I lose those, the level ends and I have to restart from the very beginning.  So I have the option of replaying over and over on the way back to that jump, or I can go play another lovely level with infinite lives, like Lockstitch&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/lbp.me\/v\/tj4740\">Vile Anchorage<\/a>.  I do the latter.  My Sack Girl still dies a lot, but she&#8217;s happier for never going farther backwards than the last check point.<\/p>\n<p>As a guy who&#8217;s so bad at platformers that I break out in a cold sweat when I get to a part where I have to jump, I don&#8217;t understand why someone would make a level with limited lives.  If you want people like me to see your work, don&#8217;t punish us by putting us back at the beginning.  But that&#8217;s just the bad platform gamer in me talking.  Part of the appeal of Little Big Planet is that there are so many different kinds of levels.  If I wanted to play a punishing platformer, and I didn&#8217;t already have a copy of Donkey Kong Country Returns, I might enjoy banging my head against The gnome cave to work my way up the leaderboards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
