IMPORTANT NEWS
The launching of user designed levels in the game was broken for a very long time.
I deeply apologize for this horrible bug.
I have uploaded a new version of the game (not the editor) which will fix the launching.
Thank you for your patience.

CAMERA
Swipe the main view to control the camera. Horizontal swipes will make the camera orbit, and vertical swipes will control camera elevation. Use pinch to zoom in and out. To focus the camera on a specific block, tap and hold the block to select it.

BUILDING
To build up your world, you first select the block you want to add in the library strip at the bottom of the screen. Then you simply need to tap on one of the 6 faces of an existing block that is already in the world. The new block will be attached to the selected face. Once a new block is placed, it will automatically be selected, and you can delete it by tapping the DELETE icon. To select another block, simply tap and hold it.

ORIENTATION
You can change the orientation of a selected block by swiping on the TURN icon. You can turn it on the vertical axis by swiping horizontally, or turn it on the horizontal axis by swiping vertically. If none of the blocks are selected, you can predetermine the orientation of the next new block.

DYNAMIC OBJECTS
At the tail end of the block library, there is a special set of objects that are marked with a red dot in circle. These objects are dynamic objects, which means that they can be moved in the game. If you place these blocks in your world, they will function as so called spawn-points for the object. You cannot change the orientation of dynamic objects spawn points. You must put one, and only one vehicle in your world. Currently, the world editor does not support multiple vehicles in a single level. Also, there is a limit on the number of blocks you can use to build your world, which is currently set at 1024 blocks.

GAME OBJECTIVES
The are several ways in which you can set the win-conditions for your level. You can place a black and white chequered floor: if the vehicle parks on top of it, the level is won. You can place unloading spots (marked with a red cross) in the level, along with crates. If all the crates in the level are placed in the unloading zones, the level is won. Lastly, you can place a soccer ball and a basket in the level. If the soccer ball passes through the hoop of the basket, the level is won.

Ratings and reviews

Make the space easier to use (few days later)give me my money back

Refunding this cause when I try to load up maps it just crashes. I have bought it on apple store before and it works fine on that. I will buy IR again when it's fixed. If it ever does get fixed.

Easy to learn but limited to blocks and other basics, also mission objectives only involve moving a ball or crate from one place to another, with more work the editor could be as addictive as the game itself. Although it is possible to share your levels with others via pc transfer an in-game option would be awsome.
