Marble It Up! is a marble platforming franchise built on precise physics, world-class level design, and the pull of shaving another tenth of a second off your best time. It comes from the minds and history behind Marble Blast.

The franchise spans three releases:

• Marble It Up! launched in 2018 on Nintendo Switch and PC.
• Marble It Up: Mayhem! brought the game to Apple Arcade.
• Marble It Up! Ultra launched on August 17, 2023, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Steam (including Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck), and the Epic Games Store.

Ultra is the definitive version. Its single-player campaign runs to more than 100 levels across six primary and four bonus chapters, full of shifting gravity, bouncy floors, and power-ups. Five cross-platform multiplayer modes let players hunt gems, score goals, and escape zombies together online.

My role

I’m a founder of The Marble Collective and the franchise’s lead designer and producer. I own the game design across all three releases, from marble physics feel and level design to progression and platform-specific features.

The Marble Collective is a collaboration between independent studios. The game was launched by Bad Habit Productions and developed by The Engine Company, Alvios, my studio Arcturus Interactive, and Shapes and Lines. Between us, the team has led titles including Starsiege: Tribes, Tribes 2, Marble Blast Gold, Marble Blast Ultra, the Torque Game Engine, Social City, and Disney’s City Girl.
