Update 1.1.3: Fixing the Fixes

Hey guys! We put our backs into it and solved the ball freezing issue (hopefully for good this time!). We also turned on the D-Pad inversion by default on Linux (though the menu option's still there). Finally, we updated the leaderboards framework - it should be back online for everyone now. Thank you for your feedback!

Update 1.1.2 is Here!

This update brings a couple of fixes for the issues you've reported.

  • The ball won't freeze anymore if you hit pause just before winning/breaking
  • We sorted out a memory leak that could affect performance after some time
  • We added the option to invert the D-Pad vertical axis (useful for PS4 controllers in some setups)
  • We tweaked a number of levels to improve visibility and/or make them easier to understand
Thank you for playing TLBTC!

TLBTC for Mac and Linux are Ready!

We worked hard at it, and it is finally ready. The Little Ball That Could, our darling marble platformer, is now available for Mac and Linux! Now, all of you waiting for some quality roll-the-ball action set in colorful, maze-like levels filled to the brim with traps and puzzles will be able to get your fix, regardless of the OS you prefer. Leaderboards work cross-platform, and so do the cloud saves, so you can switch between operating systems and keep your progress. Thank you all for playing TLBTC, and we hope to hear from you with any feedback you have!

Update 1.1.1 and Some Big News!

Howdy folks, Here's another update for TLBTC fixing some minor issues we've noticed: Fixed the story intro scene problems that appeared on some systems Fixed issues with the pause menu (level name not showing, not being able to resume using the B button on the controller) Fixed the issue making the setting menu getting stuck while switching between tabs And now, as promised in the title, here's the big news - in the coming days, we'll be making TLBTC available for Linux and Mac systems! These versions will retain all the functionality of the Windows version (including Xbox controller support), and the leaderboards will remain unified across these platforms.

TLBTC Gameplay Trailers Are Up!

Howdy folks, As the launch day approaches, we have published a new set of gameplay videos on our Steam page! We wanted to showcase each task type in TLBTC, so we picked three random levels and made short videos of us playing through them. We're pretty happy with them, as they encapsulate perfectly what it feels like to go for that flawless speed run, find that dastardly hidden puzzle piece, or give it your best and get all the puzzle pieces. There's some more gameplay trailer footage to be found on our YouTube channel, so go there now and take a look!

  • The Little Ball That Could Linux [1.14 G]
There is no exception to the rule - only balls with a heart can enter the Haven, and others, well... others have to move on. It was your turn to get your heart and be allowed in when the stamping machine stopped. Your only choice to join your kind is to prove your worth by finding enough hearts to refill and restart the machine. On your path, there are deadly falls to avoid, dangerous traps to evade, mind-bending puzzles to solve, and maze-like levels to traverse. But all is not grim, for there are shiny gems to collect, hidden puzzle pieces to find, and trapped friends to help. Perhaps there is another way to prove your courage?

The Little Ball That Could is a marble platformer with exploration and speed-run elements, inspired by Marble Madness, Manic Marble, Super Monkey Ball and Marble Blast. However, unlike its predecessors, TLBTC is not only about going as fast as you can - instead, you'll need to use your wits if you want to make it through its many non-linear levels and deadly traps.

FEATURES

  • Roll through 120 large, non-linear levels spread across 5 beautiful low-poly worlds.
  • Test your speed, precision and curiosity in over 9 hours of increasingly challenging gameplay.
  • Take part in a minimalist story and unlock an alternative ending by saving trapped friends.
  • Unlock beautiful ball skins using puzzle pieces, and try out fun powers that will let you play the game in radically different ways.
  • Use the checkpoints and level skips to progress through the game without frustration.
  • Experience the best platforming action with our tight, physics-based controls - you'll have a blast whether you prefer to play using the keyboard or a controller.

WORKS GREAT ON STEAM

  • Complete fun achievements
  • Compete on the leaderboards for the best level times
  • Enjoy the game in Big Picture mode
  • Save your game on the Steam Cloud
  • Play it on Windows, Mac or Linux
