Soccer and Betas

Marble soccer is on the way! As we’ve said in previous newsletters – we’ve been implementing and improving our usage of dedicated servers for the next update. One of the main goals is for marble collision to feel as great as possible, so why not put it to the test by making soccer a reality in Marble It Up: Mayhem!?

On the topic of tests… this weekend we will be kicking off our Beta tests on Steam and Arcade! Watch the #announcements channel in Discord for more information, as well as the incoming #beta-arcade and #beta-steam channels for all the details you’ll need to play some of that sweet sweet marble multiplayer.

(You can sign up for the Arcade Beta here – no subscription required).

We’ll be keeping track of feedback and funneling it into our discussions to help tune the game to as perfect pitch as possible! We can’t wait for you to play what we’ve been working on and to make your voices heard!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooal!
