Marble Blast is a game where you roll your marble through a rich cartoon landscape of moving
platforms and dangerous hazards. Along the way find power ups
to increase your speed, jumping ability or flight power, and
use them to collect the hidden gems and race to the finish for
the fastest time.

A FPR (First Person Roller). I love it! It's very well done and reminds me a lot of an old marble game I used to play on my SE/30. I'd register it if the process were reasonable (e.g., just let me PayPal you the 15 bucks instead of that "create an account" nonsense).
It's ironic that this game came on my new 17" iMac G5 and it doesn't support the native resolution of 1400x900. The least you could do it use the stretched resolutions instead of the one with the black bars on the sides.
A great game - very very addicting, it runs fine on our system, apart from freezing sometimes on one of the levels. Really worth it, but hard to stop especially if you have work to do!
This is a great game running on a great new engine. I would suggest those of you having problems take a look at your system and maybe do an update or two. Runs fine on my PBG4 on os 10.2.8. Also I have had no problems on any of my other 2 PMG4s which have been running 10.2.6 until just recently. It really bothers me when someone says something is buggy and it is just their system config that is the actual problem... A former Apple emp.
Acutally there is a way to skip a level.
Control-click on Marble Blast application. Choose Show package contents. Now go to marble/client. Find a file called prefs.cs. Open it and look for something like $pref::QualifiedLevelAdvanced(Beginner,Custom,etc).. If you find 15 change to 16,20 to 21 and volia! You've skipped the level!
It's stable on three macs here, all 10.2.7. My kids are addicted, I'm trying to resist. Lots of fun. Sure would be nice to have a way to bypass levels though.
Crashes my powerbook G4 with 10.2.6 every time I open it. Looks like it would be great fun, but after having to reboot my computer every time I tried, I quit. You get what you pay for.
Yes, I'd love to try out this game, especially since Apple and GarageGames are giving it away free to all .Mac subscribers. Too bad it crashes every time I get passed the intro menu. Its very infuriating to have Apple promote buggy software.
Apart from the challenge of this game, it is helping me to get over my vertigo.
I don't like having to master one level before moving on to another, I would like it if you could skip that level and come back to it later.
Why does it sound like all of these reviews were written by the developer? It's truly a fun game, but the reviews take it to another level... gimme a break.
Boo-yeah! A beefed-up Marble Madness for the 21st century! The graphics are colorful and the game runs at 60 fps! The music is quite catchy! The controls, using a combo of the mouse for the camera and keyboard for movement/action, work very well. And the demo actually lets you play quite a few levels, unlike most paper-thin demos today. Try it- you won't regret it.
