A creamy white cheese with a sweet and somewhat nutty flavour that becomes more pronounced with age.
Changes:
- Play, Create, Share scores have been removed - we thought these scores were a good idea but they never worked in the way we wanted them to. They may return one day. Maybe.
- Checkpoints can now be activated using switches.
- Sticker switches have been made more noticeable and give better feedback to the player when attempting to place stickers on them.
- Previously sticker switches did not flicker and did not change red or green in color to indicate if the current sticker matched the switch.
- If you collect a key whilst playing a community level, you will now see the level unlocking for you once the level you are playing has been completed. You can also search for linked levels in the search menu.
Updates:

- Simply invite others to join you whilst in Create Mode.
- Networking fixes & location-based matchmaking- We’ve rewritten both the way the game handles networking code and the way it finds people for you to play with

- Profile Backup - The save game backup options can be found in the Profile Settings page of the Start Menu:
- Level Backup - You can now backup individual levels! On your moon, select a level and press the Square Button to bring up the options. There will be a new option under the publish menu:
- Increased profile space - On top of the extra space you get from the save game re-write, we’ve also doubled the number of photos and costumes that you can save to Popit.
General:
- If you play a level but do not complete it, a silver Sackboy medal will be displayed on the badge, to get a gold medal you must complete the level.
- We made the LittleBigStore a bit easier to navigate and also to download things after purchase.
- There is now an option to 'Auto-Reject' invitations from other players. The option is in 'Profile Settings'. If you have this set to ‘On, no one will be able to join you unless you choose to 'Play Online'. This setting is not saved to your profile and needs to be set every time you play.
- Race Gates can be made thin again!
