Caromble! Friday #376 - All alone with camera transitions and the switch mechanic

Hi friendly gamers,

Last Friday I (Pascal) was working all aloneːsteamsadː Thomas was learning how to drive on slippery roads, Peter and Ray are still very much occupied in the universe of babies and Frank was doing his tweets from elsewhere.

I took this Friday to work on the 2nd level of Chapter 4. It is almost feature complete now and I'm quite happy with it. Check out one of the fancy camera transitions:

Chapter 4 introduces the Switch mechanic, where you (you guessed it right) can hit switches with the ball(s) to activate elements in the level. I played around with this small area in this level by placing switches on strategic positions which asked some puzzling from the player. After playing around I just figured 'more is more' and made this of it. I hope it helps challenging your speedruns:

If you want to see the complete playthrough of the second subarea of this level, you can check out this youtube video. It is a low quality video though. It was meant for making the gifs and my development machine is not fast enough to make good quality videos unfortunately ːsteamsadː

I hope you like what we're doing with Chapter 4. Please let us know your ideas and feedback in the comments, so together we can make Caromble! the brick breaker we have always dreamed of!
