To quote: Another update to Swingball 2. If you make something cool with the level editor then don’t hesitate to post it in the comments.

Notable changes:

• Added a level editor.
  
• You now have a score which is displayed at the top of the screen and decreases as time passes.
  
• If you score reaches zero then you lose.
  
• Your score increases when you collect the white orbs.
  
• High scores are automatically saved and displayed in the level selection screen.
  
• The level selection screens scrolls so it can deal with a quantity of levels that would be too large to comfortable display on screen.

To quote: Here is an update to Swingball 2. There is no Wii version this time but it is available for Windows now and I'll probably have a Wii version posted soon or at the least there will definitely be one with the next update.

The built in level editor still isn't done yet but if you want to try and make your own level you can easily do so by opening one of the pre existing level files with a text editor (all of the current levels where built using nothing but Notepad++). If you make something nice then post it.

Notable changes:

• Added a level selection screen.
  
• Added several new simple levels.
  
• Added a blue motion trail behind the player and an explosion effect when you collect the white balls.
  
• Changed the way movement and jumping works when the direction of gravity...

To quote: Here is the first and very early release of Swingball 2. Unlike its predecessor it is available not only for Wii but also for PS3 (with a PC version forthcoming).

There were some really cool user made levels for the original Swingball that did things I hadn't even thought of and I’m looking forward to seeing how people take advantage of the new stuff in this game.

There are now blocks that can be swung from but not walked on (they aren't solid). There are also tiles that will change the direction of gravity when you come in contact with them.

I haven't begun it yet but I plan to make a WYSIWYG editor which will make it even easier for people to create their own levels.

There is a lot left to do. The game currently just consists of a single test level.

PS3 controls:

• Left analog stick = Move
  
• Right analog stick = Aim
  
• L1 = Jump
  
• R1 = Swing
  

Wii controls:
