I was a developer on that version!
We got the team back together and did a spiritual successor, Marble It Up!. If you are still enjoying the original I’d recommend checking it out (on consoles and Steam).

Haha, thank you!
I have many fond memories playing Marble Blast on a G5 iMac as a teen, I think it came to our Internet-less house bundled with the iMac along with Glider Pro which I think came via CD.
I managed to get Marble Blast ultra running on my Steam deck, but the controls weren't amazing. Marble It Up runs like a top, and scratches that itch I have for the original.

My friend had Ultra on his Xbox 360 some 15 years ago and I instantly fell in love. Thank you for making another entry

This would be really great if
A. Was playable on mobile
B. Could use the phone's gyroscope for controlling the ball

It isn’t obvious at first but there are touch controls and they work really well.
If you want a more dedicated game that can be downloaded, check out

I believe this is a reverse engineered port based on the Xbox 360 version.
I play it on my steamdeck once in a while. I like having native controller support now that I’m getting older.
