For those who have missed out on our PlatinumQuest Feature Spotlights, you can check them out quickly here. #5 will arrive in a few months and will be posted separately.
PlatinumQuest Feature Spotlight #1: The Cannon
The cannon can be used to get the marble from one place to another quickly, or get to an otherwise unreachable spot. It comes in several different mechanisms, it has three preset powers and the capability for custom ones.
As a level designer, you'll find the cannon packed with many useful features. PQ comes with full documentation on how to configure cannons in your levels.

PlatinumQuest Feature Spotlight #2: The Ice Shard
Among the many new features available in PlatinumQuest, the Ice Shard stands as a cold-hearted hazard, ready to freeze any marbles that dare to touch it.
The Ice Shard is a simple yet effective hazard. Upon touching it, the marble will instantly be frozen, halted in its movement. While the marble stays frozen, the player can do nothing for a short while until the ice shatters, allowing control to be regained.
The Ice Shard is great to use in your snowy levels, unless you're as cold as the Ice Shard and wish to use it anywhere.

PlatinumQuest Feature Spotlight #3: Water Madness
As some of you may have guessed, we have water! This refreshing cool liquid is making an appearance in PlatinumQuest and is bound to change the way you play. In some levels it may assist and in others it can hinder you and in some, unsurprisingly, it will send you Out of Bounds.

PlatinumQuest Feature Spotlight #4: Physics Mod Trigger
Back in the early days of PlatinumQuest (2.5 years ago) we came up with a feature simply titled the "Physics Mod Trigger", or PhysMod for short. When the marble enters this trigger, one or more physics values are modified, such as marble speed or the gravity settings.
