What is green mode?

In this mode, the player can bring up the enhancement menu by clicking the middle mouse button and install unlocked enhancements at will. The ball will also receive new ball properties, by assimilating other balls. For instance, assimilating a wooden ball makes you faster, and an ice ball makes you float. Green mode unlocks after completing the final stage of the modular level.

Additional languages:

The game now supports French, German and Russian languages. These translations are done with Google translate. I have some knowledge about French and German, but Russian is a complete gamble :-) I will rely on the community to help me improve the translations. See the translations forum section if you like to help. The next step is store page translations.

The future

The game will move out of early access soon now. There will be additional bug fixes and some extra levels.

Complete list of mayor changes this update:

• German language support in game.
• French language support in game.
• Russian language support in game.
• Added new game mode: Green mode.
• Improved rankings display on website.
• Fixed issues with rankings website using Google chrome.
• Fixed an issue where a slow moving magnetic ball had trouble moving over a magnetic surface.
• Fixed exit not immediately moving down on trigger in the factory level.

It has been more work then anticipated to convert all the game menu's for controller support. But the game can now be played without the need of a keyboard/mouse, enabling full Big Picture support. (Steam requires a restart go get rid of the "Requires a mouse and keyboard" message in big picture mode.) It is possible this update changes a few quality settings, the texture and vsync settings to be specific.

Deleted scores

There was an issue where scores were submitted using the proceed button, causing some invalid scores for the modular level played in stages. Scores for this level have been wiped.

Full change list for this update:

• Added Full controller support.
• Added a Respawn menu option to the ingame menu. (Respawning has a time penalty)
• Added sound when clicking on a menu button with the mouse.
• Fixed first launch settings save button displayed on top of the advanced options.
• Fixed issues rebinding the mouse buttons.
• Fixed the Top Scores window not showing up and showing the message meant for the modular level that unlocks in stages. (Scores were still submited to the database.)
• This also fixes the King achievement not unlocking when you have a top score on the leaderboards.
• Fixed modular level still submitting scores while not in its final stage.
• Fixed Factory level its robots behavior.
• Tonemapping tweaks (HDR)
