Ultra - as in ultra annoying
Yea, at first this game look like fun - but only once you delve deeper into it do you realise that it is annoying as shit. Well in single-player that is.
Ugh, last night, the amount of time I spent trying to get that god-damn easter egg on Level 35… - You’re supposed to bounce off the ground in such a way, with such a speed and blasting at such a time as to hit it perfectly. Well, 60 attempts and an hour or two later - still no egg. What a load of bullshit.
It’s also the cause of all my inability to keep track of time these past couple of days. After getting through a hell of a lot of the game yesterday, I only just noticed that it was 8pm. 2 hours after I was supposed to close up the shop and I stopped getting paid - and there were still customers here! Two minutes later everyone was out and the place was shut.
Of course that’s nothing like this morning where I went to bed at 4am (after a lot of Xbox Live Marble Blast and some R6V), with my radio alarm (6am, and stays on for 2 hours) and my phone alarm (7.15am) both set. Next thing, it’s 11.10am…..
Fuck.
Ah well, back to the playing Marble Blast online until I get the Veteran Battler achievement, and also maybe getting all the levels complete (not necessarily under par time, I just want to get them out of the way!)

Marble Blast is a very frustrating game. That said, it makes it all the more rewarding when you get all 200G!
All I know is that I have got all the points I am ever going to get from Marble Blast - Schadenfreude (Level 60) is impossible, and some of the other advanced levels are just impossible to get under par time…..
