v0.7.2 - Custom Editor Objects + The Return of Score


Custom level editor objects have been added, allowing you to model and import your own objects to your levels. OBJ & FBX 2011+ are supported, and with FBX texture embedding works. We have a bit more work to do for animation support on these objects but it is in the works. We have also added a pretty impressive water system to the level editor. Score returns! Still have a bit of balancing to do on it but we wanted to get it out there. The score feed is in the top right of the screen. We've also unlocked the local party games mode, while these games aren't super polished we thought we may as well share them with you.

Full Patch Notes


  • Added Pearl (pearlescent) finish to customize
  • Score has been updated to include air and speed bonuses again!
  • Local Multiplayer party mode has been enabled, still kind of sketchy though. Next patch will focus on it.
  • Updated lighting in 1-1 and 2-9
  • Fixed scaling on Level Editor UI
  • Added support for custom objects
  • Added water system to the Level Editor
  • Lights in the editor now turn their mesh’s off in play mode and back on in edit mode
  • Added ‘Browse Workshop’ button to community level screen
  • Fixed some bugs with the splitscreen UI

  • GET READY TO ENTER A NEW ERA OF PHYSICS PLATFORMING

    Polyball is a modern take on classic ball rolling games such as Super Monkey Ball, Marble Madness, and Marble Blast - while taking cues from games such as the Sonic series, Trials, and Mario Kart.

    A BIT ABOUT US...

    The first full release from digital design practice Studio Monolith, Polyball is an experiment in low-poly visuals and open-ended game design. Our approach with the project was to make the kind of game we used to play, something that had both casual appeal and a limitless competitive ceiling. It was also a genre that we felt hasn't been adequately adapted to the modern world of game design. Our vision was simple: build a game that's easy to pick up, hard to master, and fun both on and off screen.

    ...AND A BIT ABOUT POLYBALL

    There's a lot to do in Polyball -- Challenge yourself or a friend to one of over 60 levels included in the initial release, with plans for many more levels via free DLC. If you've got some friends over and are looking for something to play, Polyball's splitscreen multiplayer promises a good time. With classic modes like Battle and Circuit Race, as well as a multiplayer version of the single-player experience, Polyball promises to be a must-have party game.

    CASUAL, COMPETITIVE, OR BOTH

    With global leaderboards built right into the level select menu and pregame screen, you can see where you stand among the worlds best and race against their ghosts. If you're more interested in beating your friends, check out the friends-only leaderboards. Collecting shards during your single-player journey will unlock a vast array of customization options, from different ball models to particle effects. This customization carries over into online multiplayer matches as well as your high-score ghost, with local multiplayer having its own version of the customization system designed for split-screen play.

    FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE

    If you've mastered every challenge we put into the game, take a look at the Steam Workshop content to face a whole new set of challenges. Community made content, from multiplayer battle maps and circuit tracks to customization options and single-player levels, will bridge the gap between developer and player as well as provide a steady stream of new content for you to experience. Steam Workshop gives the players a voice, allowing for the mechanics and level designs of Polyball to stretch far beyond what we had initially put into the game.
