Camera Controls
It's now possible to move the camera to a more overhead position while you're playing a room -- e.g. if you need to make some tricky jumps and need to see exactly where everything is. You'll need to set up controls for this under the options->control->customise menu.If you're making a room that is better viewed overhead, you can indicate this by clicking the camera icon next to the name field at the top right. The three possible settings are: none (use previous camera position), low angle (default, same as usual) or high angle.
