Marble's Marbles: A homage to the classics like Marble Madness, Hamsterball, Gyroscope and Ballance available on macstore
I made this little Marble game with my love of the classics. I am a solo dev from Australia. It designed to pay homage to the classics while having a more modern retro style. It is priced 7.99USD. It isn't available in EU yet, just waiting for apple to approve my additional verification. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/marbles-marbles/id6762249970?mt=12 It has 20 levels across 4 worlds with more to come. I had a look for similar apps on the macstore and flicky marble was the one I found, but I think you will find this one is a lot more visually appealing (at least in my humble opinion). I know a lot of games don't make it to the macstore but I wanted to give mac users the option to buy it where they want too. Happy to answer any questions you might have. It is also available on steam if you would rather get it there. While there aren't any reviews on macstore yet, it does have 125 positive reviews on steam!

This looks awesome! I loved Marble Madness growing up.
Reminds me of Ballance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballance_(video_game)
yeah :) one of the games it is a homage too
This and marble blast on xbox used to be favorites of mine. Well done!
OMG. Mousekiller we called it!!!
Really I need to look that up
brings back such memories, super nostalgic
Very nice, just downloading it now. Which engine did you use? Unless you created your own?
oh daaamn I miss Bounce in Nokia
I may not be bounce, but hopefully i can at least bring back some good memories :D
This is some hard hitting nostalgia shit man..❤️
It always makes me happy to hear that since that was my goal. It just some light hearted nostalgic fun.
Is there a way for me to buy it directly from you and get a promo code so Apple doesn't take 30%?
I didn't grow up using a Mac, but every time I'd go to my friends house we would play Marble Madness on his Mac. This looks like a ton of fun. Nice work!
looks phenomenal congrats!
I really love the sounds, but the visuals are beautiful as well.
I played the hell out of Ballance about 20 years ago and I'll probably do the same with this!! I love the idea and the execution. I bought it on Steam because, you know!
thanks. I am happy for the support anywhere. I just added to Appstore because some people say they hate steam on a mac and prefer macstore. I am also hoping to maybe get a little more visibility because people seem to like the game when they see it. Did you know ballance is on steam now? I literally played before making this which is why one of the worlds is so ballance inspired. I actually emailed them asking to bundle although i never heard back.
Marble Madness use to make me want to throw my Game Boy to the wall..... I just wanted to beat that janky version once in my life lol
well hopefully you can finish this one be forfilled :) The gameboy port was one of the worst of marble madness cause it was designed for color.
not aviable in my country
yeah sorry, as I mentioned in the post waiting on apple for EU :( :( :(
available in EU now :D
Les graphismes sont vraiment sympas. J'aime beaucoup le côté rétro et low pixel.
thank you <3
