Suggestions for improvements to Marbleland

I'd like to suggest adding two features to Marbleland which I've been using to share my custom levels since 2021.

1. Level versions. Currently only mission info like the level name can be changed without deleting and reuploading the level which I have had to do with two of my levels ( Seaside Rush and Two Pillars ). This can be frustrating for me since I do all play-testing myself which I'm not the best at and will often miss important gameplay issues that need fixing, for instance, the original version of Seaside Rush. As HappyTreeX1 pointed out in one of his videos, it's very difficult if not impossible to get a finish without going OOB when speedrunning. I did it before and so has ItzJeanMB in his video , but doing so requires slowing down at the end which ruined the flow of the level. I attempted to fix this at the cost of no longer being compatible with the web port. With level versions, creators like me could make fixes without having to re-upload while older versions could still be available.

2. A rating system (preferably a 5-star rating system) and the ability to sort levels by rating or # of ratings. This could be abused however, but it could also help separate quality levels from so-called "Marbleland slop". I guess technically anyone could post a review with a rating in the comments but having an actual system to rate levels would make it easier. But regardless I think experienced level makers sharing their thoughts on levels and providing constructive criticism could help those serious about it to make better levels in general.

What do we all think of this?

Hello, thanks for the suggestions. Your sentiment is shared with many of the level creators and this issue is being actively discussed upon in the moderation chats.

I figured. Sorry if this was redundant.

Nah, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Hearing more suggestions and brainstormed ideas for things to do with the game (and the things around it) is always nice.

If you're over 13 (which, I mean, you need to be to make an account on this website too ) then I'd recommend you come join our Discord server to add to the discussion there.

I'm not interested in joining Discord or being involved in the community. I just create levels and share them because I want to.

By the way, I have been playing Marble Blast for nearly 20 years.

Whatever level of engagement with the game is right for you! Thanks for sharing your levels and suggestions. I agree with them, and would also love to have a way to sort by rating in-game if that ever becomes available. Oh, and it would be nice to be able to choose the default order that levels are displayed, so that I don't have to select "Newest first" every single time I want to play custom levels. (Maybe "Newest first" should just be the default, who even uses Alphabetical anyway when you can just search for stuff?)
