I'd been meaning to add these since forever but just never got around to it. Now that v16 is out I figured it'd be the perfect time to do this :)
Enjoy!!
Zeepkist Beautiful Beta - Version 16, Patch 31
Patch 31:
- Fixed an issue where missing thumbnails could crash the game during loading - Fixed an issue where loading a level without a start or a finish could soft-lock online lobbies
Level Contest - Ant Sized
THEME: Ant Sized
Build a level that makes the player feel like they're the size of an ant with super-sized track decoration!
Looking for ideas? How about a course through a grass field where individual blades of grass are huge towering pillars or a track layout through a scaled up room in a house!
