The first 12 levels were released with the game itself, in April 2004. Another downloadable level, named level 13 (“Speed”/“速度”), was released in September that year.<ref>''(Archived 20 Oct 2007)'' [http://web.archive.org/web/20071020052454/http://www.ballance.org/news.htm Ballance Developer Homepage]</ref> Nowadays most Ballance setup packs already contain this level.
Virtools 2.1 is credited to be the software used to make this levels; however, since it is clear that Virtools can't do 3D modeling<ref name="3dmodel" />, what apart from it is used remains unclearunknown.
=== Custom levels ===
Most softwares were hacked to be downloaded and used for free in China in 2000s, thus providing access to 3D modeling softwares and the most important software for Ballance mapping, Virtools.
The date of the first available edited level is unknown, probably dating back to 2006; The first level considered to be a “new” level was ''Reversed level 1'' (December 2008); the first custom level was ''Level 14'' (June 2009); [[wikipedia:Autodesk_3ds_Max|3ds Max]] was also chosen as the software to create 3D models at that time. In April 2010, the first level with Ballance textures, ''Beautiful Textures'' was released. In June 2010, a Ballance-floor-making tool,[[BMMaker]], was released.<ref name="sys" />
