Update 1.1.1 - Up to the Sky
Level creators rejoice, take Mylo up to the clouds with new toys at your disposal. Clouds, desert terrain, air blowers, and more!
At the same time, I would like to announce that the game passed a big milestone - there are now over 400 custom levels made thanks to passionate level creators. That's 100 amazing maps done every month since the release of the game and 7x the amount of levels in all 4 episodes together.
If you haven't played custom levels yet I encourage you to do so and maybe try yourself at level creation while you're at it, we are always happy to play new levels!

- New object - Air Blower - pushes Mylo away from it (can be turned on/off with switches)
