Play Marbles v1.1 submitted to Apple for Approval

Fri, Aug 14th 2009, 15:07

This is our first update and it deals with most of the issues our players have raised over the last few weeks while adding a bunch of new things that we hope you will enjoy.

So now this is safe in the hands of Apple, we’ve cribbed together some notes on what is going to be included in version 1.1 of Play Marbles.

  • Obviously you will have noticed that Play Marbles is now compatible with 1st gen devices \o/
  • We have included a Challenge-a-Friend email (as Tell-a-Friend is proving popular).
  • We added additional help screens after questions were asked here.
  • There are now three skill levels built into the game as requested.
  • We have increased the level of the AI now, so some of you will get your butts kicked.
  • Fixes have been made to the profile.
  • In Career mode, you take it in turns with the AI players to start a game (and some of those AI guys are pretty unforgiving now).
  • We have added a bunch of ambient sound effects as requested.
  • In the My Marbles section you can now zoom into the selected marble. Great fun if you have created your own marble.
  • The in-game web links have all been updated now that the web site is live.
  • We’ve fixed the screen orientation issue.
  • A bunch of other bugs and issues fixed.

A lot of this has come directly from your comments on the App Store and various game forums, so thanks for your feedback and keep those comments coming. We read and note all of them.

We’re currently working on Play Marbles v1.2 and have some cool new game modes, features, sets and arenas in progress. We hope you continue to enjoy the game and we look forward to your feedback and suggestions regarding future upgrades and features.

We are expecting Play Marbles v1.1 to be live any time soon and will keep you up to date as soon as we hear anything from Apple.
