iPad Versions of Manic Marbles 2 & 3
Can you please bring back the iPad versions of Manic Marble 2 & Manic Marble 3 please.
This one stinks. First one was awesome.
If you love Manic Marble 1 (like I do) you will hate Manic Marble Marble 2 (as I do).
They changed the game engine, made it worse.
There appear to be two speeds. Flat out massive acceleration and dragging to
a stop. Don't bother trying to establish a nice cruising speed, as you could in the first version. At full speed, there is almost no turning ability. There is even less as you are decelerating.
However, when standing nearly still and you try to turn, it will turn slowly at first, and then suddenly spin around wildly. Out of control.
When you run into a wall or post, it spins you around. Good luck trying to get repointed into the correction direction.
If you fall off a platform and the game tries to resume, it will pick the most inconvenient location. Such as crawling forward at the top of a ramp then falling off. Or rolling at a right angle from the direction you want to go, toward the edge of a platform and unable to turn. Or even off the end of a ramp over empty space. Don't even bother trying to resume, when it starts this nonsense, I just start the level over.
None of these problems were in the first version. I don't recommend you pay
for this version. I'm not even going to try the third version.
How do I know the engine changed? Because in this version, it lets you roll
backwards.
.... Weeks later...
Still waiting for a fix. Still annoyingly un-controllable So I just replay the first one 'Manic Marble 1' over and over. Finding shortcuts, beating times, etc. It behaves properly.
