Hmm ... seems that I have to check this out and compare it to my Stunt Marble Racers. At least this one looks better

OK, tried the game yesterday, and it's nice to play. It's more an arcade-style roll-playing-game. I got stuck in some level and after trying several times I stopped. Nevertheless - plays great. Just one thing I would change: I would give (actually - I have given - in my project) the user the option to rotate the camera. It's imho quite hard to get to full speed if the marble rolls backwards and the camera starts to rotate. And maybe a possibility to select a level (depending on which level you already reached?).

Edit: and some shadows would be nice - at least the marbles should get one.

Its looking very good, marble madness was always one of my favourites but if ever a game needed a trackball its that one

good level design, power ups and some opponents are going to be essential for a came from the classic genre.

I still remember the time I used to spend in the arcade on that one, rolling around a ball controller the size of a grapefruit ... good old days
