  I waited anxiously for this games release, especially after it's predecessor (By no relation) Marble Blast Ultra for my xbox 360. However, upon start, I found it crashed when going full screen. My game recording softward (D3Dgear, Shadowplay) was unable to follow the process and crashed. I turned all recording software off, and the game consistently crashed. The graphics are great in game, but if you fall off a level the game hesitates. Watching my CPU, it took 90% for thirty-seven seconds before the level would reset. This was consistent. Turning the graphics up or down yielded no distinguishable difference. I was excited, now I'm not. NOT Recommended (M

  Picture yourself as a ball around on a thin platform (unfortunately no Monkey in the ball)...avoiding obstacles, making precise jumps from platform to platform....and cursing at your inability to make the marble move the way you want. Then picture yourself doing that 100 more times. It's actually quite fun, until it isn't. Before I get into it: I'd give the game a 4/10. You'll probably play it once and put it away. But for less than $3, it's not much of a gamble. And yes, I did beat the game. Pros: -The mable mechanic is really intersting. It takes some getting used to, but it is really nice once you have adapted. -The level variety is pretty interesting, ranging from slow platforming stages, to racing down the strip as fast as you can, to avoiding obstacles that will push you out of the way. -Some of the music is good. -The level designs are interesting, but get a little repetitive. Cons: -There is no incentive for anything. The items are pretty useless. You can only use your coins for lives and slightly different skins. Points...Are just points. -Because items mean essentially nothing, there are many levels where you say screw it, move forward as fast as possible and jump until you reach the goal. This is further enhanced with the first bug I list below. -There are items that seem to serve zero purpose. -No timer of any kind. This would cause some stress and make me feel like I'm playing a game. Add some speedrunning aspect or a countdown timer to make it more interesting. -The first 50 or so levels are varied and somewhat interesting. After 50 you end up seeing previous levels with small differences. The last 10 levels or so...just a straight line with a bunch of 1 obstacle. Oh..and screw level 82. -Some of the music stinks. -Not sure if this is on purpose, but in some of the levels the end of the platforms are not flush, causing a really awkward stall in flow. For instance, on the ginat ball rails you'll be fine until the end..where you hit the platform and get launched out of bounds. Bugs: -Low on lives? No worries, just press start and restart level before you die...no lives lost. -Music stops looping on certain stages, so you're stuck with the sounds of the level, which is typically one 2-3 second sound that constantly repeats. -Some levels have no music. -Some levels are broken. You'll see messages along the lines of "Lighting needs to reinitialize. " All in all, give it a try if you want. If you've played games like this...you'll realize right away that it's not the quality of other ball platformers, but it's alright to waste some time.

  Even though I have only played this game for 0.2 hours as of this review I would only recomend it if you are trying to think of a good reason so commit suicide

  I can barely play this game. I don't know if it's my fault for playing on a laptop or what, but I feel like a simple marble platformer should be easy enough to play on any type of computer. but seriously though, I'm at 5 frames a second on the lowest graphics settings possible, why cant there just be a way to dissable the backgrounds to the levels (surely that's whats causing it). I just wanted to play a fun platformer, not stare at some geometrical, abstract art.
