- November Update! - 6 November 2025
This update adds a bunch of smaller quality-of-life features that will hopefully make building more fun, powerful, and interesting.The last update introduced a checkbox that allows you to make colored blocks grabbable, and now there are two more: Can Grapple and Passable!Have you ever built a level that started inside a cave, then you get out of the cave but there’s no perfect fog value that covers both cases? Now triggers can change the level’s ambient settings! This solves the cave issue and even lets you build day/night cycles and many other fun things, making your levels more interesting.But of course you might wonder: what if the cave has two entrances and you don’t want to waste complexity placing a trigger at each entrance, how could that be solved? Well, trigger connections can now be configured to trigger “on enter” or “on leave.” So when moving into a trigger, the “on enter” c…

Changes: Checkout the new halloween cosmetics! Spooky lobby and shop decorations! Groups can now be named in the editor. Groups can now have physics and be grabbed and carried around. Don't rely on weird quirks of the physics as we'll likely tweak some of the behavior over time. Groups with physics are limited to 100 complexity per group and a maximum of 100 groups! Animations and some block types are currently not supported inside a physics group. Triggers can now be setup to only by triggered by groups with specific names. Color blocks now have a checkbox to make them grabbable. Fixed a bug causing the replay to break when beating a level again. Please be aware of these limitations and known issues, some of which we can hopefully be lifted over time: There cannot be more than 100 physics objects in a level Physics objects are limited to a maximum of 100 complexity per object Physics o…
