Lost Marbles changes
Hey Everyone!
First off, its let me wish all of you a very merry Christmas, or a happy holidays to those of you who don't do Christmas! <3
The plan was to drop a bunch of new levels with this update, but if you read my previous update posting, you will know that I ended up dropping a bunch of levels early due to a game breaking bug that I rush patched. Because of that, you can consider this update part 2 of the Christmas level drop! :)
Additionally, the Christmas 2025 marble is available to unlock now, so simply open the game and it will automatically claim. This skin will be available until the new year, so you still have plenty of time to grab it.
New Levels
This level drop brings you two new levels, a remade legacy level, and two new Remix levels.
| Astral Ruins | Consider this level the "Gem collection" level of the intermediate section of the game. The level is split into segmented areas, and traversal between these areas can be done with the help of the conveniently placed bounce pads around the map. There are 10 gems in total to collect, so get to it! |
| Flow State | This level actually originates from a very old powerup tutorial map dating back to way before the game launched in 2022. Naturally tweaks have been made to bring this in line with the games design philosophy, but the general layout remains the same.This also happens to be the first Time Trial map to use the "Mega Marble" powerup... Guess that means I have to make a few more levels that utilise it so that its not a weird outlier... :) |
| The Heist | Not to be confused with the original "The Heist" level, this is a brand new remake, with a few slight tweaks. For those of you still looking for that retro feel however, the original Heist level can now be found in the hidden level section (Must be enabled in settings to see hidden levels) |
| 10 Second Rush | Another old level here, brought back by extreme popular demand (definitely not just 1 person asking for it). Technically this is a Gem Arena map, but there are no random (or fixed) seeds, and all gems spawn at once. The goal is to generate the highest score you can in the 10 seconds given...This level can be unlocked by completing any level in less than 10 seconds. |
| Stuck In The Past | This remix level is based on the Time Trial "Back Through Time", but we ditch the rewind powerup for a more simple back and fourth path built on the lower portion of the original level. A simple premise, but how fast can you do it?This level can be unlocked by finding the hidden gem on "Back Through Time", though finding it may be the easy part... |
Along side these new levels, the following levels have now been moved from "Bonus" to "Remix", and have been given a set of appropriate unlock descriptions.
Path of Power - Can be unlocked by finding the gem on "Power Play"
Marble Skies - Can be unlocked by completing the Riddle on "Sky Run"
Who's Fault - Technically an old remix level, but can now be unlocked by earning a gold medal score on "Minueture" with the "Trippy" visual post process active (*)
*Note: There is currently a bug unlocking this which requires exactly a gold medal, and nothing higher or lower. This will be fixed in the next update.
Achievements
In this update we have one new achievement and then two additional achievements that can now be unlocked.
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Steam post image | Larger Than Life | I decided to add this achievement to showcase the large tile options, as some people prefer this visually, and with so many settings, its very easy to overlook. Simply beat 10 levels with this large tile setting enabled to snag this achievement. |
| Steam post image | On The Rebuild | An old achievement, but previously unobtainable due to there not being enough remix levels to unlock. This can now be obtained by permanently unlocking 25 Remix levels. |
| Steam post image | Ultimate Challenger | Similar to the above achievement, this achievement can also now be unlocked, and can be done so by achieving a platinum medal on 25 Remix levels. |
New Achievement Screen
I was getting pretty sick of looking at the achievement screen on previous versions of the game, So this page has been given a much nicer layout to see your game achievement progress. Improvements are still being made to this, so you may spot some slight changes throughout future updates.
Also, expect other outdated screens to get this similar treatment!
Additional Patch Notes
You can ow advance frames during a replay using Shift-Left and Shift-Right on your keyboard (when the replay is paused)
Fixed an issue with some character encoding on the server that was causing some usernames with special characters to break - You may still see some broken names, as the fix also requires users with such names to load the game again to update their name in the database.
An appropriate popup has been added when collecting marble shards to give some indication of what they actually are, as a lot of new players thought they were gems, which lead to confusion.
The rival button on the in-level leaderboards has been fixed and can now be used to load a new rival during gameplay - It will spawn the next time you do a non-checkpoint reset.
Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope you all have an amazing Christmas / Happy Holiday! <3
