Marble Blast Platinum (aka MBP) is a standalone modification of Marble Blast Gold released in 2007.
Development[]
In mid November 2006, Matan was working an mod version of Marble Blast Platinum. Early into development, in November 2006, MBP was created. GarageGames gave Matan permission to create Marble Blast Platinum. Marble Blast Platinum began level development and music. Many staff joined in on the Development. In late December 2006, Levels developed reached 150. Around May 2007, the beta version came out but it would not be released to the public until mid 2016. PhilsEmpire stated that MBP was going to come out in July 2007, but it got delayed because some staff were still working on the mod. In early August 2007, the Demo Build was being built. development was finished and the final version came out on Christmas of 2007.
MBP is not only an expansion pack of MBG, but also an entirely new game. It features 120 official levels: 25 Beginner, 35 Intermediate, 35 Advanced, and 25 Expert. It also features new skyboxes, marble skins, soundtracks, sound effects, textures, user interfaces, and gameplay elements. Each level has a Platinum Time, which is the equivalent of the Gold Time in Marble Blast Gold. Also, each level has an Ultimate Time, which requires even more precision, shortcuts, and difficult tricks.
In 2009, version 1.14 added online leaderboards and achievements to MBP for Windows users.
In 2013, version 1.50 of Marble Blast Platinum was released, which now has multiplayer mode, challenges, and leaderboard support for all Marble Blast Ultra levels. It also gave Mac and Linux users the ability to online play as well.
