Thats a relief! I was concerned that it was only affecting me as I haven't read about it anywhere. I figured that it was just one other issue that I was having with my PS3, lol.

My main gripe with the trophy levels is that once you have the trophies, most of them are completely pointless to play (particularly the ones where you do nothing, and it automatically gets you the trophies).

That and the fact that there are a few thousand of them, clogging up all the pages. I'll check yours out later though.

I tried to make mine a little more entertaining at least... I just knew it was easy plays and hearts...

The left of the 3 planets has it. Go there, click on Me, and it should show 3 circles along the top, each with a 0 in it.

Does it show which levels I have aced?

For the levels you have aced, the actual level on the middle planet will have a gold 'spade' on it.

I see some people saying the re-publish again and again - not sure I understand why, or how this affects your hearts, etc.

I have 15 hearts (7 from people I know) out of 27 plays with a few comments from buddies and strangers. I'd like to re-publish without losing all those.

Thanks dgator - can anyone confirm this is the way it works?

Anyone have a chance to play my level yet? "The Dark Sack" by Jubei29?

Yes, that's how it works.

I know in the beta, it was a bit trickier, and it seemed to reset the plays and hearts each time I edited my level and republished it. Because of that, I originally thought that if you add anything that changes the scoring of your level (like more point bubbles) that it would erase the high scores/plays/hearts, to be fair.

So soon after the retail game was released, I decided to go back and add some more points to my Connect Four level (and change the name), and just risk losing the 5-10 plays that it had at that point (since the game had just been released).

Since then, I've republished both of my levels (Presidential Race and Connect Four) numerous times (probably 20 times) and everything is still intact.

One thing I do wonder though, and won't bother trying, is if you overwrite a different level, what happens.

Say, for example, I have these two boards:

Presidential Race - 10 plays
Connect Four - 4 plays

If I overwrite Presidential Race with a 2nd copy of Connect Four, will that new Connect Four have 4 plays, or will it be at 0? There's really no reason to do this, but sometimes I fear accidentally overwriting the wrong level, and wonder what that would cause to happen.

I think I did ( a week ago?) - that's the good news - bad news is, I don't remember it specifically - after I went on to play a whole bunch of Star Wars themed rooms that were around it from my search.

So, I wanted to let you know - I did go try it out, just can't comment on it. Sorry.

By the way, (at no one in particular) - I think people need to start being a little more creative with creating vehicles etc.

I keep finding levels where I use the same vehicles over and over again. Probably the biggest one used is the Monster Truck.

Even though we won all those contraptions playing through story mode, I'm hesitant to use any of them. It's no fun using other people's creations in your own level. I try to use them as little as possible.

Problem is, unlike the guys who created this game - this isn't my job. I wish I had more time to create and test things out. Right now, I'm trying to create a few characters but it is coming along horribly. The editing tools for creating people are quite poor. I really need a "drawing tool". Using stickers for color etc. is very frustrating.

I'm having fun creating; however, as much as the game provides, I'm finding I need more tools for some minor, yet significant touches.

I think the worst is when things are used the same way they are used in the story mode.

Two examples of the many I've seen:

A racing level where you use the dog+sled on some glass ("ice"). That was done in one of Mm's levels (though, ok, it wasn't a "race").

Another is the spinning/sliding wheels, where you have to hang on one, and jump to another. That's fine as a regular part of a level, but when it's the ENTIRE level, I wonder why someone bothered to make it. There are 3 mini-levels in the story mode that are entirely just the spinning wheels, and they get progressively harder.

Im taking care of that for you. Im making a 2 car drag race. One car is slower but easier to drive, the other is faster, but has a rocket on the front the pushes the noze in the air. I have it tweaked quite well. From a dead stop, the rocket car will roll up pretty quickly and stop forward motion, but once its moving its a slower process. When the car gets close to full speed, it will level out, until it hits a jump

Im going to work on the actual track tonight and hopefully get it published too. I might have to tweek the cars though. the contol part of the car is too far back to and wont activate a state gate until the sacy jumps out and stands on the front of the car.
