Welcome, speedrunners, level creators, and 2D lovers!

It has been five years since an update came to life in the pre-Final Edition era. This major update brings lots of new features, optimizations, and fixes:

Vertical moving platforms: By popular request from GGHallGamer, platforms can now move vertically as well as horizontally. Place several moving platforms next to each other to create a larger platform and open up new paths in your levels. But beware heroes and enemies can be crushed if the platform reaches the ceiling!

Moving spikes: Also requested by GGHallGamer, spike boxes can now move up, down, left, or right. This adds a whole new layer of challenge and excitement for both creating and running levels.

New achievements: Hard mode, Expert mode, and EXTREME MODE! Complete levels with very low clear rates to unlock these elite achievements.

Optimized Main Menu: The Main Menu has been slightly redesigned to make stats and options easier for newcomers to understand.

New tutorial mode: Based on feedback from several players, newcomers can now access the Tutorial list, where each level teaches a specific mechanic. Dont worry you can still complete these levels and earn world records.

Optimized camera: The camera now moves less, providing a calmer and smoother gameplay experience.

100 levels listed per filter category: Browse a larger catalogue of levels 100 levels per category for now. The plan is to implement pagination so you can access all levels, not just a limited selection. Remember, you can create your own playlists at dashworld.online via the game\'s \"Playlists\" menu if you want specific levels listed.

Toggle screen shake on/off: Also requested by Devonrv, this option can be found in the Settings menu of the Main Menu.

  [/*]

• Occasional unfair deaths caused by vertical platforms crushing the player.

All of these are being addressed for Build 3000 Patch 1.
