I believe this is a reverse engineered port based on the Xbox 360 version.
I play it on my steamdeck once in a while. I like having native controller support now that I’m getting older.
I was a developer on that version!
We got the team back together and did a spiritual successor, Marble It Up!. If you are still enjoying the original I’d recommend checking it out (on consoles and Steam).
Haha, thank you!
I have many fond memories playing Marble Blast on a G5 iMac as a teen, I think it came to our Internet-less house bundled with the iMac along with Glider Pro which I think came via CD.
I managed to get Marble Blast ultra running on my Steam deck, but the controls weren't amazing. Marble It Up runs like a top, and scratches that itch I have for the original.
My friend had Ultra on his Xbox 360 some 15 years ago and I instantly fell in love. Thank you for making another entry
Is there a 'Black Diamond' level from the xbox 360 original? if so, where can i find it
The oldies are great such as: https://neverball.org/
I made a rolling ball game a while back. https://sphoxie.com if anyone wants to check it out.
Ahah! So did I https://store.steampowered.com/app/1384840/XOL/ <3
Nice! I like the isometric style look of your game!
Is it normal that when I "turn" the camera stays still? Makes it quite unplayable for me (I tried both "Free camera" enabled/disabled, it didn't change anything)
You have to click and drag.
It isn’t obvious at first but there are touch controls and they work really well.
I wish there was a transparent shadow showing where the d-pad is without touching that part of the screen.
I wish there was a way to turn of the music without going 3 menus deep
Why, how often do you need to do that?
Pretty good for a browser game! Not quite Super Monkey ball, but not far off either.

Edit: I would love to know what this post did to deserve a "down vote".
Much appreciated <3
I'd call it Marble Drift :)
Marble Tokyo Drift. And it should have a squealing tire noise. ;)
This would be really great if
A. Was playable on mobile
B. Could use the phone's gyroscope for controlling the ball
Gyroscopic control might be even more suited for something like Neverball where the physics are based on tilting the board. In Marble Blast the board was stationary but the ball could be moved by acceleration which turns out to be quite different in terms of controls.
You won't believe this: it _is_ playable on mobile! I see a lot of people playing this on their phones and iPads.
I contemplated adding gyro controls, like in "Marble Blast Mobile" from back in the day, but they are very imprecise and don't really scale well to high-level play. With the current d-pad controls, there's actually a mobile player who holds the world record on many levels. Never would've expected mobile controls to scale this far.
