more game modes would be very nice to see

I absolutely love the update. will we get to see more pieces like the smaller tube and other variants of the lasers?

it would be nice to scale and group objects

This is awesome, definitely will make this game much more fun!

Is there a way to change map names after you first name them? I was messing around in a map i just called "unnamed" but after a certain point it ended up actually being something i felt like publishing, but I can't seem to find a way to rename it, which is annoying for anyone who downloads it...

I'll add a rename feature soon. For now you can manually rename it if you find the files on your disk. From the top of my head i think its in User/AppData/Ball/Saved/Workshop etc. Let me know if you didn't find it so I can find the correct place.

Wow,you did it!
I had a lot of work, and I only found out today that the workshop is finally available and there is a built-in level editor.
I have not done the levels yet, but I just studied the built-in editor, and immediately saw some shortcomings: when rotating the base platforms, the texture on them is distorted, since it is not tied to them but is projected onto them, if I may say so.
I did not see an opportunity to create figures with a standard color (white-gray cage) like the start and finish platforms.
All objects have face rounding, but this is not in the original maps.

In the future, I would like to see a set of basic structures with texture as in the original levels, in order to make the levels as similar in style to the original as possible.
I hope this is not the last update for the game, and it will be further developed after it becomes paid.
And good luck with a new project! (By the way, what is this new project?)
