The LittleBigPlanet Sack App is an augmented reality minigame created by Zappar in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment to promote the launch of LittleBigPlanet PS Vita. It is accessed by using the Zappar app and pointing the device's camera at a boxed copy of LittleBigPlanet PS Vita (or an image of the game's box art). Once it loads, a cardboard window containing the game is projected onto the physical game's case, and will dynamically move with the box in real time, pinning itself to the centre of the screen if the device's camera loses sight of it.
The game itself is a very rudimentary endless runner in which the player taps Sackboy to make him jump over various obstacles as he runs on top of Craftworld. The game ends when Sackboy trips on an object and falls off the planet. As the player earns higher scores, they can unlock different skins for Sackboy. In addition to the main game, the player can also use the camera to take photos of Sackboy in real-world environments; the user can reposition, scale and rotate Sackboy, and apply any skins they've unlocked from the main game.
The Sack App was used as part of Twitter contest that was held between October 12 and October 14 2012, where users could send photos taken within the app to @LittleBigPlanet with the tag #whereissackboy for a chance to win one of five LittleBigPlanet Caps.[1]
