Speaking to UK-based site Eurogamer, Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey stated that LittleBigPlanet’s current control scheme “annoys” him. Although development has already wrapped up on the retail product, he revealed that a patch could be on its way shortly after release.

The Z [axis] movement is an incredibly hard thing for us to get right. 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.

Have to agree. The controls in LBP are decent, but I found switching between the three planes of movement to be slightly tricky at times, which presumably is what Healey is referring to. This is an area of the game that can definitely be improved and it’s good to hear that MM is focusing on it.
