I feel a little guilty about quitting this level without completing it, or even coming close. I never do that. I&#8217;ll stick with a wretched movie to the bitter end, usually staying through the end credits. I can think of only three books I was too annoyed to complete. I like to complete things. One of the great things about these community levels is they&#8217;re bite-sized. Even if a level is annoying, it probably won&#8217;t take long to complete. Even if its tricky, it won&#8217;t require too much of a time investment to work it out.<\/p>\n<p>A quick look at my profile page on the Little Big Planet website reveals that I played this level twenty times. I&#8217;m shocked to see that, no pun intended, because I can&#8217;t imagine I played the thing for longer than five minutes in total. The level is made up of huge chunks of electrified metal falling from the sky. As far as I know, that&#8217;s all there is to the level. I never got more than three jumps in without dying. Here&#8217;s the thing. When my little sackbot dies by electrocution, ugh, the sound is horrible. And horrifying. Please note that I&#8217;m not using words like &#8220;irritating&#8221; or &#8220;annoying&#8221; or &#8220;irksome&#8221;. I chose those words deliberately. I&#8217;ve come to like my little sack dude. A lot. It&#8217;s hard not to. The little guy is adorable. His electrocution screams get under my skin. In a level where this happens intermittently this is bad enough. On this level it was constant. I&#8217;m befuddled by the life limit on these community levels. I usually wonder, in frustration, why an amateur designer would do that. Here, at last, I became grateful for it.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, I&#8217;m usually driven to complete these things. This time I just felt that life&#8217;s too short to hear that awful screaming of my sackbot any longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1654,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
