Overview
Marble Blast Online is the public-facing build of Marble Blast Haxe Port. The project reimplements the classic Marble Blast games in Haxe, extending them with modern features and cross-platform support.
- Gold delivers the classic campaign with optional touch controls.
- Platinum adds a much larger campaign, with levels from all three official Marble Blast games plus thousands of community custom levels. It also introduces cross-platform multiplayer.
- Ultra includes the Xbox Live Arcade campaign, with full controller support, cross-platform multiplayer, and a limited set of community custom levels.
- PlatinumQuest is a massive community-built upgrade to Platinum consisting of a new campaign and tons of new features and gameplay elements.
All four run anywhere: browsers, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Multiplayer works between every supported platform, so you can host on PC while friends join from their phone.
