Green mode and translations
What is green mode?
In this mode, the player can bring up the enhancement menu by clicking the middle mouse button and install unlocked enhancements at will.
The ball will also receive new ball properties, by assimilating other balls.
For instance, assimilating a wooden ball makes you faster, and an ice ball makes you float.
Green mode unlocks after completing the final stage of the modular level.
Additional languages:
The game now supports French, German and Russian languages.
These translations are done with Google translate. I have some knowledge about French and German, but Russian is a complete gamble :-)
I will rely on the community to help me improve the translations.
See the translations forum section if you like to help.
The next step is store page translations.

Full Controller support
It has been more work then anticipated to convert all the game menu's for controller support. But the game can now be played without the need of a keyboard/mouse, enabling full Big Picture support.
(Steam requires a restart go get rid of the "Requires a mouse and keyboard" message in big picture mode.)
It is possible this update changes a few quality settings, the texture and vsync settings to be specific.
Deleted scores
There was an issue where scores were submitted using the proceed button,
causing some invalid scores for the modular level played in stages.
Scores for this level have been wiped.
