LittleBigPlanet is a 2D sidescroller series, developed exclusively by Media Molecule for the PlayStation, with a heavy emphasis on user created content.
Series description[]
The game is all about making your own levels and playing the levels of others. The player takes control of the highly customizable Sackboy as they jump, shoot, pull, climb, and do a bevy of other things, as they accomplish their goals throughout each level.
