Hey everyone!
I am pleased to announce the 2015 Winterfest Event is finally here! Simply run the Marble Blast Launcher client to install the update and join in on the festivities today! For the veterans who participated in last year's festivities, here's a whole list of reasons to partake in this year's updated event:
- A Brand new Shader engine! Shiny surfaces!
- Two brand new Winterfest levels to test your skills on!
- Over 20 unique achievements to unlock!
- Over 10 unique, festive titles to obtain!
- Several new flair icons to attain!
- Daily advent calendar rewards, including unique daily banner unlocks!
- A fine-tuned Snowball-only game mode!
- ..and more!
In addition, the system requirements have been slightly modified to ensure optimal performance with the new Shader engine. Older system models/hardware may work, but are not officially supported. Please ensure your graphics drivers are up to date! The list of minimum requirements are listed below:
- Windows XP SP2+ / Mac OSX 10.6.8+
- Intel Core2Duo, Core2Quad, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 CPU @ 2.00ghz or better

The Winterfest Event will be live from December 11th, 2015 and run until January 10th, 2016, so you'll have plenty of time to give everything a try! Grab your friends, or make some new ones, and we'll see you on the icy slopes of Spires!
We hope you all enjoy the winter wonderland as much as we did constructing it! Happy Holidays to all of you, on behalf of the Marble Blast Community Staff!

Hey folks,
While working on some server side scripting for the upcoming Winterfest event, I managed to cause the Multiplayer Achievements database to self destruct. The most recent backup that I could recover was from June.HiGuy is working on a script to recalculate everyone's achievements. In the meantime, simply log in to the game and open up your Multiplayer achievements and they should come right back (with the exception of the Halloween achievements - HiGuy's script should restore these achievements for anyone who earned them). The only thing we will not be able to restore is the date of completion on these items.Update: Achievements should be restored; if you are missing any, please contact us.
We've taken preventative measures and implemented a new automated backup process (it seems our old one was not performing the way we expected it to...) to retain a copy of all data in the future so I don't accidentally destroy your achievements in the future.
I apologize for the inconvenience and the error. I'll make it up to everyone by giving you tons of Titles, Flair icons, and Achievements to earn later this week when Winterfest goes live.
