Super Salient DELUXE v2: HELP WANTED

This is my newest project that I've been working on for quite a while, but it is still mostly unfinished.
You are randomly spawned around the map in sackbots. Crates randomly drop from the air every 7-10 seconds. They either reward powerups, extra health, or points. (ammo)
Okay, so the way I see it, this is how it is going to work. There will be one hub level, which leads to all of the actual arena levels (which are sub-levels). They will hopefully be simplistic, but varied in the ways you can play them. These arena levels will mostly be inspired by level concepts for my dead MAPEI series.
FORT TUTORIAL, the very first map, the one in the OP. Hilly with an unpredictable water level. It can be played with a tutorial or without.
DROEN, a city that is being destroyed by a cataclysmic flood.
BLEAREE FOREST, a dark, rainy fenland with tons of trees.
HAERO HILL, a snowy abandoned mansion with a ghost problem.
GRIHM GORGE, a creepy desert map with giant chasms and gigantic boulders, and subtle signs of alien activity.
CARD-BORED CHAOS, a floating playground made entirely from cardboard and polystyrene.
Each level has a limited palette of materials, to give a unique look.
As for the actual gameplay, each level has the same formula. Players are spawned randomly around the map. They have a choice of running in search of a turret tower, or waiting for crates to drop from the sky. The crates are one of the biggest parts of the game. They drop every 7-15 seconds, and must be tossed around with the grabinator until they crack. They can include point bonuses, powerups, health, etc.
After each round, (which should last around 3 minutes), the players are teleported back to the hub.

The cloudy sky you see in the second pic is actually just a piece of blue tinted smooth glass in the very back layer. For some reason, the reflection texture looks just like a blue cloudy sky.
