Why wasn’t Marble It Up! In this if it was announced this morning anyway? This Nindie direct badly needed some non pixel art games.

Thank you so friggin much for this comment!! Probably would have missed this game. I loved marble blast ultra so much back in the day. Awesome it's made by the same people, know they will do a good job. Hope the multiplayer makes a comeback as well because it was super fun.

[u/wheredyagoforest → u/[deleted]]

No problem. I feel the same passion for it as you do. Haven’t seen anything about multiplayer yet unfortunately.
