8/24/2020 - 3k views in a week, thank you all so much! I've really enjoyed watching people unlock medals and compete in the leaderboards! I'm beginning work on my next game, but I'm gonna work on some more adventure levels, as well as begin making level packs for the community level repository (you can submit yours too via the main menu)! Thank you for playing Puzzle Crafter :)

Current Version: 1.3.5
Check the changelog below to see what is added/changed
Thank you so much for the front page!
Welcome to Puzzle Crafter! A game where you can make, play, and share custom physics puzzle levels! It also features minigames, skin unlocks, medals and scoreboards!
HOW TO SAVE/SUBMIT LEVELS
In the editor, you click the download button and a .json file of your level data will be saved. You can load this file to keep editing later, and you can overwrite it as you progress. When you're ready to submit your level, go to the main menu and click Submit Your Level. Upload your .json file to the form and fill out the level information, and click send. Your level will soon be added to the community level repository! You can view this repository by clicking Browse Level Packs.
CONTROLS
Puzzle Mode:
- Click glass blocks to break them.
Hide n Seek Minigame:
- Tap on the character that matches your currently selected skin. Keep doing that.
Soccer, Battle Royale, and Pool
- Click/tap and drag the stick at the top left to direct your ball. Release to go.
Editor
- Q and E rotates selected object (as well as clicking the rotate icons). The box in-between the icons determines the rate in degrees per rotation.
- Pressing Esc when testing exits play mode.
- You can utilize the full space of your level by scrolling with the up and down arrow keys ;)
- MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE LEVEL FILE BEFORE EXITING TO MENU! PROGRESS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SAVE!
UPDATES CHANGELOG
Aug 30 2020 version 1.3.5

Aug 23 2020 version 1.3.4
- Resized some of the Editor menu elements to be more mobile friendly
- I wanted to add a new minigame, but the one I started isn't working currently. Stay tuned for the next update!
Aug 21 2020 hotfix 1.3.3.2
Aug 21 2020 version 1.3.3
- Switched physics engine to box2dWeb! Hopefully this should speed things up on mobile :) Let me know if you encounter any problems! Edit: didn't work lol, the physics on mobile are even slower, with some game breaking bugs. Will be reverting tomorrow.
- Added 2 new mystery medals!
Aug 20 2020 version 1.3.2
- The boost object now interacts with wooden objects!
- Added a couple more adventure levels

-
1.3.1 Hotfix - fixed bug where winning pool breaks the game
- Reduced pool ball count to 10 from 15.
- Fixed pool win text
Aug 19 2020 version 1.2.2 - The Hat Update!
- Added hat cosmetic. You can unlock hats by buying them at the store. They're a bit rough, as I'm still fine tuning the origin points, but they should be entertaining nonetheless (and something to spend your hard earned coins on!)
- Launcher minigame - Added more spawning coins, ramps, and boosts
- Launcher minigame - Fixed bug where coins weren't saving to bank
- Launcher minigame - Fixed bug where timer wouldn't reset at game end
KNOWN ISSUES
- In the level editor, the hat will move behind the player after previewing a level. I'll fix this soon.
Aug 18 2020 version 1.2 - New minigame!
- Added new minigame (Launcher)
- Added 6th level to Adventure Mode
- General bug fixes
- 1.2.1 hotfix - fixed Launcher bug and added sound effects/bgm
KNOWN ISSUES:
- if you click the launcher button in the minigame menu and nothing happens, refresh the page. The game sometimes errors out when the launcher minigame starts.
- If you join the launcher minigame and the charge button isn't there (or the timer didn't reset), just exit to the minigame menu and join again. That should fix it.
- Using the final skin (skin 14) will result in some errors
Aug 18, 2020 version 1.1.2 - Physics hotfix for trampoline. Trampoline will now project you according to its own angle, not the angle between itself and the player.
Aug 17, 2020 version 1.1 - First update!
- Added new minigame: Battle Royale!
- Added new leaderboard and medal for BR minigame
- Wooden Circles will now interact with trampolines!
- New control scheme for the soccer minigame to make it easier to play.
- Added 1 new adventure level
- 1.1.1 hotfix - small quality of life update
Aug 17, 2020 version 1.0 - Initial release! I think it's a pretty good start! There are only 4 "adventure" levels right now, but I'll add more with future updates. There are currently 3 minigames available to play, so hopefully they'll keep you busy when you're not crafting levels! KNOWN ISSUES: The game is technically compatible with mobile, but right now the editor menu and certain buttons are too small to make out. Everything is still playable (especially the minigames), but in the next patch I'll try to have a more mobile-friendly interface! Also, on mobile the physics run a little slower. The soccer minigame will take noticeably longer each move. Hopefully doesn't dampen the experience too much!
