Marble Arena 2 Roadmap

Thank you so much for your support !

Since the game was released we have had more than 150.000 downloads. That is quite a lot more than we ever expected so we would like to say thank you !

With that many downloads comes a great resposibility to keep the game going. Most of you liked the game but there were many that weren’t entirely happy with it, so we’d like to do our best to keep all of our gamers happy.

Many good suggestions and ideas came from our community and from reviews posted on various websites, so we decided to post a roadmap showing our dedication to making the game better.

  • 1. Ability to customize controls
  • 2. Gamepad support
  • 3. Fix magnet material being dependent on fps
  • 4. Auto save game on exit
  • 5. Auto save game on level completion
  • 6. Add “Continue” button that should load the latest save
  • 7. Add countdown on level start
  • 8. Fix underwater jump overboost bug
  • 9. Fix pickup not working after multiple level restarts
  • 10. Fix level description bug
  • 11. Make game keys text more visible
  • 12. Fix “Move to infinity” bug where you would be positioned out of the level with rolling sound playing continuously
  • 13. Fix “null” map display and related crash
  • 14. Spawn in safe locations in multiplayer to prevent falling out of the level on spawn
  • 15. Make upgrade points and target points persistent in multiplayer, even after map change
  • 16. Improve server master rights in Veto and Locked modes. Server master should be the one who changes the level and regular player’s suggestions should appear as text and not pop-ups.
  • 17. Mobile controller

Feel free to comment and give suggestions of things that we should add. We will be updating this page as things get implemented.

If you like the game and want to help us out, buy us a cookie. We really love cookies and we need the energy, as you can see from the list above :P

Oldies but Goldies Map Pack

Being featured on the front page of the Apple® Mac App Store was pretty huge, there’s no denying that. We’ve had more downloads in a few days than we’ve had since the game’s official release about a month ago.

Marble Arena 2 is currently the #1 free game in the Mac App Store and we would really like to say: Thank you !!!

Thank you to everyone who’s downloaded and played the game, and who have taken the time to write reviews. Thanks to those who have written favorable reviews for the kind words and thanks to those who have written not so favorable ones for taking the time to let us know what they didn’t like (we’ll do our best to make you change your minds).

To show that we really mean it, here is a sign of our gratitude:

22 extra levels in the form of the Oldies but Goldies map pack.

Should bring back memories for Marble Arena 1 players out there, and a few extra hours of game time to those who have already mastered the game.

Now for a few words on what to do with these.

1. Download the pack from here.

2. From the game launcher open up the game’s data folder. On Windows and Linux you do that by going to “Configure Game” and then clicking on “View game files”. On Mac you simply click on “Show user game files”.
3. Navigate to the packages/base folder. If it doesn’t exist, create it.
4. Unpack the archive there
5. Start the game and select “Play another level”. You should now see a new tab called “Oldies_but_Goldies”
6. Select a level, any level since they’re all unlocked.
7. Enjoy !
8. Completely optional: save a replay and post it on the website :)
9. Mac users only and also completely optional: spread the word among your PC using friends :)

If you’re having any kind of problems getting this to work, don’t be afraid to let us know, either by leaving a comment here, or by going to the Welcome and Help section of our forum.

Big surprise waking up this morning. Checked google analytics, like a good little website admin, only to discover a huge boost in website traffic. What could this be I asked myself ?

Most visited content immediately gave an aswer. There was a massive increase in mac players. I couldn’t imagine what happened. I thought that maybe some big site picked up the game. Google showed no sign of such things.

Reboot in  Mac OS, open Mac App Store, fall of my chair :)

Big thanks to Apple® for considering our little game worthy of being featured, and even bigger thanks to everyone playing the game ! Have fun !
