PlatinumQuest Feature Spotlight #2: The Ice Shard
October 18, 2011
Among the many new features available in PlatinumQuest, the Ice Shard stands as a cold-hearted hazard, ready to freeze any marbles that dare to touch it.
The Ice Shard is a simple yet effective hazard. Upon touching it, the marble will instantly be frozen, halted in its movement. While the marble stays frozen, the player can do nothing for a short while until the ice shatters, allowing control to be regained.
The Ice Shard is great to use in your snowy levels, unless you’re as cold as the Ice Shard and wish to use it anywhere.
Keep on freezin’,
The Platinum Team

I see you made new models for the Jump Boost and Time Modifier

Joe, in case you didn’t notice, we didn’t say Jump Booster, but Super Jump (see text and hear sound).

Looking good, and glad you stuck with SJ, I really prefer that old time name.

Maybe you should, instead of transforming the marble into a spiky ball, give the marble a blue tint when it touches the ice shard.

And maybe draw some icicles hanging from it.

When is MBPQ going to be realeased
February 25th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
I guess the MBP installer thinks my Mac Game Store copy of Marble Blast Gold is not valid because it requires the user to type his/her name and the registration key when the game starts up when the full version is not registered. I think that must be why.

What specifically do you mean by ‘not valid’? Does the installer reject dragging the app in, or does an error occur during installation?
By the way – I’d check out marbleblast.com (the MB community’s forums). Someone might have a similar issue there.

I think That when marble touches the shard, it freezes of particular time. it should be dynamic field. its name is freezetime. if it is value=0. the marble will froze for pemanent.and after 10 seconds(only for pemanent freeze)there will be text written as “you are frozen” which is like
OOB.
