Challenge TSA: Gravity Crash: Results [19]
Challenge TSA: Gravity Crash [22]
Challenge TSA #11: Zombie Apocalypse [37]
As today is the first day of the month, it seems as good as a time as any to bring you another of TSA’s new community features, yesterday was the announcement of PlayThru and today it’s the turn of our new ‘Challenge TSA’ feature. Basically every week we shall set you the challenge of beating our high score/progress through a game.
TSA Points will be awarded to the top 3 individuals who can beat the best that TSA has to offer. 100 for 1st place, 75 for 2nd, 50 for 3rd and 10pts to everyone who sends me a valid entry (and as you might have heard, TSA Points are about to become very exciting).
The Challenge.
This week your challenge is to beat TSA’s high score at the the LittleBigPlanet ‘Tie Skipping’ Level, you must keep jumping over the king’s tie collecting score bubbles and survive as long as possible to rack up a high score.
The Rules.
You need to email a photo to me (chris@thesixthaxis.com) of your high score before midday Thursday 7th May, winner will be announced Friday 8th, and a new challenge will go live. All entrants must be registered members of TheSixthAxis, and the photo must clearly show your high score, illegible entries may be void.
Update.
Since last Friday, TheSixthAxis team has been jumping away to Zorba The Greek and the scores are now in, and have been counted, and our leaderboard looks like this:
1st – Liam – ??? (it’s a secret)
2nd – Nick – 1,757
3rd – Davs – 969
4th – Greg – 731
5th – Chris – 674
6th – Pete – 673 (thinks it was in the 600’s, but I couldn’t have him beating me, could I?)
7th – Alex – about 400 (stupid game)
A bit of a mixed bag from the team this week, and just a reminder the deadline for challengers is midday Thursday if you’ve still not got your entry in. Results will be announced on Friday, shortly before the next challenge goes live. (clue: it will involve cars, fast ones.)

Hopefully I’ll LBP soon and may try this but is this level available from the start?

Yep, that why I picked it, it is in the first area of the game, and is the first challenge level, which is easily unlocked.

Nice and I missed out some words in my comment. I think I’ll get it tomorrow hopefully as Bioshock arrived today.

Whenever I started this level the flowery thing that your supposed to stand on the whole time keeps falling in the water right at the start.

Cool, Ill give this a shot tonight.. BTW, is there a way of screen-grabbing from the PS3? or is a photo of the screen the only way? A screengrab function would be good for a firmware update if it doesnt exist already…

As far as i know it does exist but the game designers have to incorporate it into their games and no one has yet. (I think)

I think you can screen screengrab from noby noby boy. I think it’s the only game to support it though.

Yup. Noby Noby Boy is the only game that supports in-game screen capture and video-capture.

I usually get around 400 or 500, maybe I can beat the score. Not very good at those survival challenges though…

Booted up LBP and got a “…your profile is corrupt.” message. It gives you an option to boot from backup and strangley I haven’t lost anything. Hmm.

im guessing it will be one seen as it is you that is entering not both of you unless you shared the points that you win if you did
