Octagon Games is a small team (1 programmer, 1 artist, 1 sound engineer) that assembled from all over the world to recreate and update a classic. Six months in, we're ready to reveal our isometric marble game: I,Marble... The game is currently set in 2 worlds, with 6 levels in each. Each level is between 3-5 min in length. A 3rd futuristic world (and more!) is planned for future release. Coming soon to mobile platforms (IOS will be first release followed by Android and possibly others) we're at about 90% completed. Would love to hear any feedback...
The game looks great. I'm a big fan of marble madness. BUT personally I can't stand tilt only games. Are there alternative controls? Would then please both sets of people? Everything else is great but I hope it won't be tilt only
Absolutely love the gameplay and style, reminiscent of Six Sided Sanctuary (in a good way). Hesitant about the controls, though. I guess that tilt controls like that are common for marble/rolling games, but is there any possibility of touch controls?
Great feedback guys. Let's say it's been on my list "to do" to incorporate the swipe controls or virtual trackball as an alternative to tilt. It plays well with the tilt controls, but I'd love to have both in there even if it doesn't make it into initial release... stay tuned. No promises, but I'll give it a go and see what programming magic I can make happen.
We've had a private invite only beta ongoing for the past few months of development. We have a few more things to polish up, but then I can open things up for a small public beta here in a few weeks for those that are interested and would like to give feedback. We'll post something here when we're ready.
Update to I, Marble So much has happened since I last posted here on Touch Arcade. I, Marble was funded back in December, and is now complete and released for Windows Phone 8. Due to exclusivity terms for Windows we'll be delaying our IOS release until September 1. If any of you happen to have Windows Phones, there is a free trial and it is available here: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=e1420d37-e858-4656-af4f-36db666593c2
