Marble Blast STOP II has received an update with some tiny bug fixes and graphics changes. While this update is merely small, it fixes some problems and also introduces new textures and sound files. Thanks to whirligig and (Nockess) for your efforts.

When leaving comments and suggestions, include some positive comments as well.
We as developers appreciate a share of positives and suggestions that could make the game better, rather than not making any positive comments at all.
This motivates us as developers to continue further updates and research more into how we can make this project even better.

Some notable changes we'd like to mention (more in forum and change log)

Important: We've lied! Now this is likely the last version for macOS that will be produced, unless more interesting problems arise in the client. Because Apple is ending support for 32-bit ran programs (and yes, Marble Blast games are included, unfortunately), there's no need to make really big updates soon for macOS applications.

+ NEW proper & revamped dialog for confirmation via re-map of an existing key/button.
+ Increased disclaimer files for the client.
+ More hint dialogs have been created in stages.
+ "Black Ice", a stage from Version 1.0, has been added to STOP II 1.2, and is now recognized as an official stage in-game!

~ Many sound files have been changed.
~ More textures overhauled, especially with hazards.
~ Environmental mapping has been altered and fixed.
~ Coding issues have been fixed.
~ A missing file on Advanced Stage 29 has been corrected.
~ "Can't Jump!", previously Advanced Stage 30, is now Expert Stage 2. ("Black Ice" replaces Can't Jump!).

- Removed Expert Level 2 "Marble Pachinko" from the game.
- Removed some textures.
- Removed Marble X42-B17_0000.

You're all the best!

I'm locked out of the Advanced stages. Is it just me, or is it a bug? I completed all of the Intermediate stages, but can't access the first Advanced stage.

- Removed Expert Level 2 "Marble Pachinko" from the game.
...
- Removed Marble X42-B17_0000.

I must admit I have not played the game well enough to play that level or use that marble. Why would they get axed?

Please tell us your operating system, Steven.

Windows 10 version 1903 64-bit. Unlike macOS Catalina, it supports 32-bit software.

Because Marble Pachinko is a shitty level.

Steven, thanks for your report. We'll look at this.

Mike is correct. It's a level meant for a DLC packet

You might also want to make sure we won't be locked out of the Expert levels as well.
