i saw you mention Marble Blast Ultra in one of the videos you made. Check out Marble It Up! it was made by the same developers who did Marble Blast series.
I actually watched the trailer a few days ago. Iβm kind of snarky, but I didnβt want to snark about this, because I do really like Marble Blast Ultra. At the same time, though, since youβre kind of prompting meβ¦
This is a bad trailer. Itβs a LOT of song and dance over a gameplay concept thatβs been around multiple decades at this point. Thatβs not to say these guys arenβt good at making this kind of game, but the way they talk about it, it sounds like theyβre on a mission from God, or something. Itβs two and a half minutes of hot air about βdeep engagement with the marble.β
Itβs basically a lot of over-describing elements that all games have (good controls, creative levels), and trying to use that as an oblique method to elevate their game. Mumbo jumbo, in other words.
Also, I really donβt like the name βMarble It Up.β Thereβs no cadence to saying it, it has trouble rolling off the tongue, and if itβs supposed to be a reference to something Iβm not sure where itβs from or why itβs important. They probably canβt use the name βMarble Blastβ anymore, which is unfortunate. But βMarble It Upβ is not a good replacement and they really should have workshopped something a little more clever than that.
Iβm sure itβll be fun, but I think itβs going to have to rely more on word-of-mouth from existing Marble Blast fans, because that name and that trailer isnβt going to do them any favors on first impressions.
