Comments rssHey everyone,
If you haven’t heard the news yet, Marble Blast Mobile has been released (as of May 14th). I bought it as soon as I woke up on Friday and have been practicing since 
Anyways, the game itself is a lot different than the other versions of the game (Gold, Platinum, Ultra, and Online) in terms of feel and movement. Although the controls are highly customizable, all in all I think Luma Arcade could have done a slightly better job in making the game easier to play. As it is, most of the levels are quite difficult due to the controls, and some are seriously out of place!
Anyways, the “gold time” has been replaced with three separate achievements: bronze, silver, and gold medal. Most of these are pretty well placed, and took me quite a while to achieve (I haven’t even beaten all the levels yet!).
Right now, there is only local wifi multiplayer, but I have been told that it is going global next update: you will be able to play people across the world over your internet connection. That’s certainly a plus.
The app itself looks very clean and has intuitive menus, although some of the buttons are just wack (the “PLAY /////////////////” button, for example).
Right now, I think the game is a little too difficult for the average player. It could just take a little getting used to, but most apps on the app store are meant to provide short, fun gaming – not necessarily something you have to work and work on just to be able to unlock all the levels. The game gets very frustrating at times.
Diagonal movement is really not possible through the controls, although I don’t think it would be something I would utilize anyways: I have enough trouble staying on the maps just moving forwards!
The levels are a mix of Marble Blast Ultra/Online and Gold levels, although many of them have changes to them, such as Bowl’s added challenges, and Core’s stripped-down map for more simplicity.
The level ordering is really misplaced, with very difficult levels such as Epicenter and some parts of Grand Finale (Tornado) placed earlier than simple levels like Sprawl and Thrill Ride.
Anyways, it is a decent app right now, obviously it has a lot to be worked on, but for the $5 it’s worth it. Go get it on the app store!
