Solo developer James Oliver is excited to announce the arrival of the first Indie Crossover Levels for Marble’s Marbles, launching as afree update for all existing players. The update introduces a series of handcrafted crossover stages, each re‑imagining another indie game through the physics‑driven, retro‑inspired world of Marble’s Marbles.
On June 28, players will receive the first four crossover levels, with five additional levels releasing throughout July, each accompanied by a behind‑the‑scenes making‑of video.
A Celebration of Indie Creativity
Each crossover level reimagines a partner indie game as if it existed inside the whimsical, physics‑powered universe of Marble’s Marbles. Players can expect new mechanics, visual twists, and playful nods to the original titles — all while maintaining the signature momentum‑based gameplay fans love.
The update also includes improvements to the experimental mouse/trackball control scheme, making it smoother and more enjoyable for players who prefer pointer‑based movement.
