A lot has happened in the last month! Who knew 2021 would be one of the most active years for the Marble Blast community? While you may be aware of some of these changes already, we felt it best to summarize all the happenings in one succinct post.
Open Source PlatinumQuest
- Free online Match 3 games featuring gem swapping, bubble bursting and delicious treats.
- Unlock the $10,000.00 & $20,000.00 Bonus Games - up to 10,000 Tokens Per Game Tokens can be redeemed for additional prize opportunities in the Token Exchange.
- My favorite video game graffiti is in left 4 dead. In the safe rooms you'll find sad messages like 'Dan, if you're here we've gone west. Dad didnt make it' or hopeless messages like 'we're all going to die here' But one in big capital letters is just 'NO ZOMBIE IS SAFE FROM CHICAGO TED!' The world is ending and Ted is having a blast.
PlatinumQuest’s source code is now available under the MIT license. Check out the main repository at https://github.com/PlatinumTeam/PlatinumQuest. (Yes, this includes cannon.cs!). But don’t worry, we’ll still keep an eye on things and publish official game updates periodically throughout the year. Pull requests are welcome!
Staff Changes
Jewel Quest is also a popular game from the match 3 genre. This game takes place in a temple deep in the jungle. The temple consists of five treasure rooms filled with valuables you need to acquire! Chuzzle is completely different from the online match 3 games described above, but it’s incredibly fun nonetheless. Another bubble shooter game has hit the online world! Creating groups of 3's and blowing bubbles of course! Bubble Hit is a colorful and fresh bubble shooter variant. It plays like the original bubble shooter. In Bubble Hit you have to eliminate groups of 3 or more bubbles. Free up the entire field to win.
Two new moderators are being added to the team: Doomblah and Go’way! Both have been prominent members for several years and are excited to continue the ongoing legacy of the Marble Blast Community.

IsraeliRD has officially retired from the Marble Blast community as of January 1st after an astounding ~20 year streak. However, all streaks eventually end, and IsraeliRD leaves behind one of the most impactful legacies within the community with hundreds of hours of YouTube content, two incredibly successful mods, hundreds of custom levels, and more forum posts that we had to import from Proboards than we care to admit. We wish him the best of luck wherever his journeys may take him.
HiGuy and Derpking will officially retire from their moderator and administration roles within the next few weeks. They still plan on working on future updates to PQ, just not as community moderators.
Aayrl will not be part of the moderation team going forward, but will continue to assist with administrative capabilities, working directly with the new leadership team to ensure the smooth operation of the Marble Blast Website, leaderboards, and online capabilities.
We wish you all continued success and enjoyment of the little indie game we’ve grown up with as we transition to the next generation of this community.
