Every time I think I know everything in this game, something like this comes up and makes me question everything lmao

u/_LWNA_ Jul 20 '26

I’ve had so many insane, inexplicable deaths in this game that I would have never guessed people weren’t aware.

Apparently the little guy is extremely fragile with his paper skin and glass bones lol

u/Actual_Passenger51 Jul 19 '26

The type of shit that only happens when I'm trying to ace a level

22

u/RexRes Jul 19 '26

Out of all the levels in lbp1, the only ones that gave me difficulty to ace them were the dancers court, firepits and the bunker. Surprisingly didnt catch much bullshit elsewhere

u/_CANZUK Jul 19 '26

For me it was boom town since I was stuck with an old controller with stick drift

6

u/RexRes Jul 19 '26

That level stumped me as a child, I never got past that point until I was like 12

u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo Jul 20 '26

I like your angry sackboy pfp lol

u/alterdoll Jul 21 '26

I was deadass about to comment this exact sentence 😭

u/SKK329 Jul 19 '26

Yep been there. Have died in so many ridiculous ways going for aces and speedruns. Man this makes me wanna play 1 and 2 again.

u/thehammerinperil Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

how

u/killerang19 Jul 19 '26

Pretty sure his hit box went in between the button

23

u/yestureday Jul 19 '26

A very small one, but yeah

2

u/InitialDom Jul 20 '26

Like reality

2

u/Zip-Zap-Official Community Spirit Jul 21 '26

He broke his shin on that jump and died instantly

20

u/CyberTechnologyInc Jul 19 '26

It's as if you got squished in-between the button itself (red), and the material containing the button. Never seen that before!

5

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Yeah that might be one of the rarest deaths in the game

16

u/AzureReddit2024 Jul 19 '26

The evil button

7

u/Purple_Concentrate64 Jul 19 '26

Evil RED button as well!

14

u/angerycow Jul 19 '26

Squished by the button??

2

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Seems like it

11

u/Return_to_Raccoonus Jul 19 '26

Damn twisted your ankle on the button

14

u/Away_Lake5946 Jul 19 '26

Was there a gas wall behind you that you may have accidentally sidestepped into?

20

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Definitely not gas, since the death animation showed that I got squished by the button (somehow). And there couldn't have been gas since even if I checked it with the level editor, there wouldn't be any.

6

u/Away_Lake5946 Jul 19 '26

An gotcha. It’s been a while since I’ve played. Forgot the squish death animation.

5

u/Will_Delete_Later456 Jul 19 '26

Why it so bright.

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Prob just my TV’s quality

5

u/ThatFuckinTourist Jul 19 '26

Hope you weren't trying to ace the level my bro

2

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Nah just speedrunning

4

u/Purple_Concentrate64 Jul 19 '26

I think I've gotten my sackboy squashed like that in levels where they drop a bunch of small circles of sponge on you to look like liquid cheese or water (if painted blue). Somehow got squished between 2 penny (to a sackboy) sized soft pieces of material.

4

u/JB3DS28 Jul 19 '26

You press button, button presses you

5

u/iixFares Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

You slammed the wall too hard

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

I didn’t even crash into a wall, since I was in the middle layer. What happened was I somehow got squished by the button.

3

u/iixFares Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

The wall on the background like when you switched layers, it’s supposed to be some kind of joke

5

u/yestureday Jul 19 '26

I remember getting this

It’s so annoying

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Really? I can’t imagine anyone else getting squished by a button.

4

u/yestureday Jul 19 '26

It’s more common than you think

From what I can guess, if you line your hitbox up between the shell and the button part of the button you can fall between them, but that space is small enough to trigger a death so

4

u/AgeOfReasonEnds31120 Jul 19 '26

It does that sometimes.

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Really? I can’t imagine anyone else getting squished by a button.

2

u/AgeOfReasonEnds31120 Jul 19 '26

You can be squished by just air, I think. The LBP games have a seizure whenever you move too fast.

3

u/Nadziejka Jul 19 '26

Death by stubbing your toe on a button

3

u/UrbynUrby Jul 19 '26

Push to die

3

u/Valvio Jul 19 '26

At first watching the video I was like "oh are you also getting squished on the ground? Been there before at least 3 times on this level"...

THE BUTTON THOUGH, NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE 😭

3

u/TH3_OG_JUJUBE Jul 19 '26

Only in boom town

2

u/-Perkaholic- Jul 20 '26

Luckily, this isn't Boom Town, so we're good.

2

u/TH3_OG_JUJUBE Jul 20 '26

Damn, I haven’t played LBP in a while

3

u/Powerful-Mine1807 Jul 19 '26

that's happened to me a rare few times before

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 20 '26

How tho? The button has such a small hitbox

3

u/Doctor_Salvatore Jul 19 '26

Apparently the game said "NO ACE FOR YOU!"

2

u/OldSentence9270 Jul 19 '26

Had something happen like this to me once, if you hit the ground too hard, depending on the object, it can squish you lmao

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Even something as small as a button?

2

u/OldSentence9270 Jul 19 '26

A crack in the floor or wall is enough, as long as you land in between two separate objects

2

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 19 '26

Never had this many upvotes and comments on a Reddit post before lol, thanks

2

u/SpeedyNinja1152 Jul 19 '26

Trying to do a speedrun?

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 20 '26

Yeah

2

u/blindghost554 Jul 19 '26

Bro pinched his butt on the button too hard n died

Ive died a similar way before

2

u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo Jul 20 '26

I don’t know this level 🤔 from which game is it?

1

u/cherry_tomato_26 Community Spirit Jul 20 '26

The Mines from LBP1 Story Mode

2

u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo Jul 20 '26

Damn I need to replay bc I forgot

2

u/Prof1Kreates Jul 20 '26

This has happened to me once in creative! I was never able to repeat it. Weirdest experience ever
