Well I’m simply gobsmacked. Last week I set you the challenge to play the mini-game ‘Tower of Whoop’ in the newly released Little Big Planet 2 and get the highest score you possibly could. By Sackthing, they were high scores!
Almost everyone completely outshone my own best attempt. I personally couldn’t quite string together a consistent enough route and would always narrowly float past a bubble fractionally too slow and lose my multiplier… My top score, then, was a measly 137,993 points.
Most of you that entered comfortably breezed past my score. The top 5 even bested 250,000. Second place had a whopping 359,116 (improved further, but not sent in, to 445,820).
In first place, though, was Aquastyle. If anybody out there fancies checking his score. There’s no need to befriend him. Just call up Tower of Whoop’s leader board and look down till you find the entry for 9th place. That’s where you’ll see Aquastyle with a completely ridiculous 828,073! I’m utterly astonished at how anyone has managed to get a score like that. He is truly a master of LBP’s floaty physics and he deservedly has won himself the Sackbot figure.
Top of the Tower*
The full set of entries follows:
| Aquastyle | 828,073 |
| Voganlight | 359,116 |
| Topgearsam | 286,253 |
| Oskwish | 284,956 |
| Person678 | 262,396 |
| Baconsarnie59 | 198,830 |
| Samiro05 | 183,846 |
| Darth_Newdar | 175,152 |
| Manorhowze | 171,800 |
| Rocket_345 | 159,426 |
| Teflon | 137,993 |
| Freezebug | 103,090 |
| BrendanCalls | 72,226 |
So congratulations once again to Aquastyle, on a fantastic top score, as well as to Voganlight and Topgearsam for coming in 2nd and 3rd place.
That wraps up our first LBP2 competition. Don’t fret though, we have more LBP2 action in store for the coming weeks, so keep your eye out. In the meantime, the GT5 picture quiz reveal is also up today, and we’ve got some more GT5 community news coming tomorrow.
Don’t forget to make good use of the Community, Competitions and Meets sections of the site, as well as following @thesixthaxis and @TSACom on twitter for even more TSA. There’s also that swanky new “Pinned Posts” feature, so you should never forget about a competition ever again!
*In order to preserve my sanity, I only actively verified the top 3 results, as they were receiving prizes or TSA points. Everyone else on that list, was just on my friends list already.

Humhum, I won alright! Probably spent atleast 5 hours doing this over and over until I got that score, managed to accumulate a multiplier all the way from the very first to the last bubble. Phew, totally worth it considering the awesome Sackbot-prize! Thanks Tef!
Looking forward to more LBP2 comps.. :)

Congratulations, that’s a truly incredible score. To get all the way to the top in a single score multiplier is quite an achievement.

Don’t thank me, I just come up with the prizes then ask Cb and he sighs and says “alright then…”
Just to get this out in the open, I dislike you intensely now. You and everyone else that scored higher than me! :P

What happened to you “crafting your own sackthings”, etc? All smoke and mirrors?! Ok, so I’ll redirect my thanks towards Cb then, thanks!
And you know what they say Tef; don’t hate the player, instead cut yourself you miserable tool!!!1! That’s how it goes, right? :D

I spent about 2 hours doing the level before getting a decentish score. I looked at the leader board and saw your score.

Wow, that’s an incredible score!! I just somehow made it past the 100.000 and then even forgot to send in the result…
Congratulations Aquastyle :)

No email, no entry… You still made it into the results photo, mind.
Nevertheless, I “tsk tsk” in your general direction (East)

I’d love to see a replay Aquastyle playing that level. I’m amazed anybody’s even got a higher score than that!
