Media Molecule boss "annoyed" by LBP controls

Speaking to Eurogamer, Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey has said that LittleBigPlanet's current controls "annoy" him, butthey may be altered after the game ships.

"The Z [axis] movement is an incredibly hard thing for us to get right," he said. "There's times when it annoys me actually, but we can work on that if we want, and refine it.

"But on the whole, we got to a good place with it I think, because we wanted to cater for my mother and someone that's a hardcore player, so it was hard to get the balance there."

The exec expanded on the matter.

"There's definitely room for improvement and we've got the channel to be able to do that as well," he said. "I'd really love to be able to do backflips and all kinds of things with my Sackboy, and there's no reason why we can't add that and refine that."
