Beta 1.5 of Ballmen is now available for download! 1.5 includes three new maps from our custom mapping community: pamingo, hyroquasium, and fallsafe, as well as early custom sounds. The majority of this update is in bugfixes and balancing, so you'll notice a lot of little tweaks and generally better overall stability. Not much has changed visually (but will in the future, rest assured) so we don't have much media to flaunt, but the following screens were taken during internal playtesting, and you can view gameplay videos in our media section.
