1.2 Update
The new update on the maps browser is now out!
You can now preview maps, browse the workshop directly from the game itself and search all the maps available online without opening the workshop.
A full-screen toggle was also added to the settings.
Additionally, now there's more music! Various tracks change depending on whether you are in the menus or in a map playing.
New Icon browser buttons were also added, where you can also show only the page containing the newly added maps to the workshop.
Flying through rings is also less flashy right now with the brightness of the rings decreasing as you get close for a nicer experience.
I hope you like it!
Thanks!

1.1 Update
Hey guys!
As the game progressed further there were a few changes made to improve the experience.
Changes:
- There is a new help menu button! It will include a few different things:
- Common questions explaining the game for anyone that wants to learn more
- Explanations for achieving score, levels and ranks
- Help using the editor
- Common questions explaining the game for anyone that wants to learn more
- A new button to download a random map if you don't feel like browsing the workshop! This should automatically find the maps you have and look for a new map that does not currently exist locally
- From now on submitting a map to the workshop will require you to complete your new level. This will prevent impossible to complete levels from being uploaded
- The thumbnail generator will automatically calculate the center of the map and the distance required to fit the majority of the level into the thumbnail, you will still be able to rotate it around into any angle that you prefer the level to be displayed from
- A short intro animation! Instead of a black screen when opening the game, you will now see a short animation
Bug fixes:
- Fix for a way to submit a score from a different map to the one you are playing. This required precise timing and fast switching, but will no longer be possible
- Loading screens not displaying while syncing workshop subscriptions
Thanks for your support!
Switching to Free to Play
A decision was made to switch the game to free to play. This should benefit everyone as the game needs more players, scores and maps, therefore letting everyone be a part of it should do no harm. All the features that were currently available will remain available for free.
