"We created Marble Blast to appeal to gamers of all skill levels," comments Mark Frohnmayer, the Marble Blast project lead. "With Marble Blast Gold, we extended the gameplay of the original with 28 new expert levels, set to challenge even the most adept players."

"We've had a great response to Marble Blast, community members have built levels and one even created an internet high score logging modification from Harold "Labrat" Brown," said Jay Moore, Evangelist for GarageGames. "For the Gold edition, we added a gold time standard to each level. We wanted to give new players an idea of the kind of level completion times the best players can achieve."

The demo, available at various download sites has six playable levels from the 100 that come with the full version of the game. Marble Blast Gold is available from www.garagegames.com for $19.95. Marble Blast Gold runs on Macintosh computers running OS X and PCs running Windows or Linux. Current Marble Blast owners can upgrade to Marble Blast Gold for $5.00 at www.garagegames.com.

I am going to go way out on this limb -- this one, right over here -- and guess that it's Orbz? :shrug: Dunno. But if a GOLD Orbz is anything -- ANYTHING -- like a Gold Marble Blast in terms of quality and gameplay improvements, well, consider me 0wned by it.

I tried the demo version and was attracted by the game and it's easy-to-install format under linux. So I decided to pay and get the full version. For connectivity reasons I did this from a windows PC. So now I end up with a windows version and a key that I cannot use directly on my own linux PC. Things could be easier....
