GarageGames, the leader in independent games, has announced that they will launch Marble Blast Ultra on XBox 360 Live Arcade.
'Multiplayer functionality and HD graphics represent an amazing evolution in the Marble Blast franchise, and unveiling Marble Blast Ultra alongside the launch of Xbox 360 is a historic moment for GarageGames and independent game developers,' said Mark Frohnmayer, President of GarageGames. 'We hope Xbox 360 users have as much fun playing Marble Blast Ultra as we have.'
If you are unfamiliar with the Marble Blast, it takes place in a futuristic arena suspended high in the clouds. Players can compete with each other by maneuvering with marbles through moving platforms and endless hazards.
