#2 Also, you have to change the camera mode. I think the keyboard command is CTRL-C, but it's also accessed from the EDIT menu. From there, you may want to get the editor interface out of the way by pressing F11. Use your arrow foward,left, right and back keys (W, A, S, D) to fly the marble around in all directions, but becareful not to get lost in the level. :: )

And this will be my editor tip of the day too! Thanks for the idea Loren and welcome to the forum!

#3 Thanks. I'm still a little intimidated by how good y'all are. I'm up to advanced level 20, but I have yet to get a single gold time! Pretty pathetic. I comfort myself that there are more important achievements in life. But on the other hand...

#4 C'mon Loren, there no room for intimidation on this forum, so forget that.

Some of the members here may challenge your statement that there are more important achievements in life. :: )

Good Luck with the Gold. Try the Hint Book for tips.

BTW, did our advice help you?

#5 Yes,
Please don't feel in intimidated,
We were all beginners at one point in our life.

#6 Actually, intimidated is too strong a word. For, as it turns out, there really ARE more important things in life than Marble Blast. Still, would be nice to make at least ONE gold!

Loren

#7 Again, Loren, check out hints book and "practice, practice, practice!"

I found that trying to attain 'Gold' on the 'Escher Race' level to be a facinating challenge.

BTW, trying to attain 'Gold' is also an great way to understand the game's physics and to see what the limits of the game are! Is surprising to see what can be accomplished at this level.

I don't know if MarbleBlast supports trackballs, joysticks or gamepads, but perhaps that would be easier to use to get the gold times and easier on your 'default' controls' (i.e. you can beat up on the controls a little more). :: )

BTW, just kidding about MB being so important, but it is a healthy diversion for me anyway.

#8 I'm on Escher Race right now, and I'm pretty much stumped. Anything in the hints book on this level? I've tried everything and can't seem to comlete it.

#9 I only need two things in life,

1. Marble Blast

2. These Forums



lol


Bob

#10 Loren,

Do a search on the forums with the keywords esher, escher and gold. You will find plenty of hints that way.

Oh, I do hope that's not true!

The first daffodil in spring makes me quite forget about games. The first rose, and I forget all about computers! (It is apparent that I've become weary of winter. Quite enough already. Time to get out and enjoy some non-virtual reality.)

#12 Why can't i look at digital pictures of flowers????
lol
Actually besides being a part-time computer nerd I am a very outdoors type guy.



Bob

#13 Bob, You, my friend, are very, very digitalized!

Yeah, I like outdoors too! I'll make a promise to get out more.
