EDIT: I forgot to include the beta 3314 changelog when I posted about the Twitch stream, so I've pasted it below for reference. Build 3315 includes a small fix to allow levels to be uploaded to Steam Workshop.
Merry Christmas! Today's minor build update features a new Christmas-themed reverse tag level called "Jingle Valley", a remix of Carol of the Bells (I know, very original), a few art tweaks, new level editor features, and fix for the negative leaderboard time bug. Happy Holidays to everyone and let us know what you think of the update!
Listen to Carol Of The Bells (torcht remix):

LEVEL EDITOR
- Added additional axis to the move gizmo if selected objects are attached to a track

Today marks the final day of the Distance Advent Calendar, a community-run event where track creators have been sharing incredible new level creations each day this month. The 24th and final level of the event was shared today, so we’d like to take a moment to play through every Distance Advent Calendar level shared this month! There might even be a couple interesting surprises… We hope to see you there!
