Today I want to share some screenshots of the upcoming free expansion coming this March which you can find listed below as coming soon.

Please note that this is work in progress and not due to release till sometime in March so some visual elements could well change in between now and then.
Level 'Leviathan'
There will be several levels as part of this expansion, I can show off three of them today including the titular level which is one of the new late game ones. This features a large leviathan skeleton you have to navigate and offers some distinctive scenery from afar.
The goal of this level is to have your ball directed into the correct part of the lower vertical windmill so it can shoot through for the hole in one.
If you fail to reach the hole in one there is an additional shortcut route you can take to keep your overall stroke count to two. This involves aiming for the specific point on the slope so your ball enters the hole and travels along the shortcut pipe.
Also shown in the above screenshots is that this level works with all existing themes so can be played in Autumn or Winter appearance.
Levels 'Zig Zag' and 'Rebound'
At the other end of the scale is two new small early levels that offer a simple challenge of reflecting your ball for the hole in one. Both of these are designed to be introductory levels you'd have appear at the start of your session but will still offer some challenge as you figure out how to get a hole in one.
'Zig Zag' features cross like sections where if you angle incorrectly over two reflections you'll miss the hole and roll down a ramp the other side of the hole. 'Rebound' is more focused on getting your power dialled in so you hit the a block on the other side of a jump ramp which will as the name suggests, rebound you into the hole.
Coming this March
There will of course be more levels than this in the final expansion release which is still quite a bit away, so I may do further teasers over the coming month. Unlike the previous two expansions this will not introduce a new overall theme/season per se ( autumn/winter etc.) but more about bringing distinctive levels that will continue to bring variety to the overall level pool.
There are also more additions on the way beyond this expansion throughout the year that are pretty significant, but I can’t quite talk about them just yet. I will however say the game will be continuing to receive development with this being the first addition of 'Season 2' so do keep an eye out for future news over the coming year.
