The game is far too addictive. It's *much* better than the one we saw and played at IGC. I wasn't expecting such addiction. It's not fair, you should have warned me.
A whole evening I've spent playing it. You really should put a warning on it about such things. :)
Oh, and nice work guys.

Most annoying thing about marble blast... (apart from the massive amounts of time consumed). Them listing United Kingdom as Great Britain on the order form (Go get an ISO approved country list). Took me ages to find that :)
Obviously since that's my biggest problem then you can see I like the game. Awesome start for GG.

Yeah it's really quite good, fairly short (that's a good thing) but plenty of effort left in improving times. Value for money is top notch. Can't say I like this ignition stuff though.Most annoying thing about marble blast... (apart from the massive amounts of time consumed).

I don't mind the Ignition stuff but I had the same problem with the country list. I spent 5 minutes or more searching up and down the list, nearly to the point of posting a forum query. How silly I would of looked. ;)
"United Kingdom" is a typical usage.

The game will then contact (once only) the Garage Games Ignition server to verify the key. As far as I know, the game will not contact the GG Ignition server again at any time but your software will only run on that PC and cannot be transferred.
Also, as far as I understand, the library is part of the publishing deal with GG as a deterent against software piracy.
It is briefly mentioned here.

The Ignition library is a product that Garage Games uses to secure developers software. After paying for a piece of software, you receive an 'Ignition Key'. You then download the game itself, install and run it and are prompted to enter your 'Ignition Key'.The game will then contact (once only) the Garage Games Ignition server to verify the key.

I installed Chain Reaction on two of my machines. The game would run on my Dev machine but because of my weird DX configuration (DXSDK) it was having troubles displaying any 3D content. So I installed it on my laptop (where it ran fine), I was prompted for my ignition key on both occasions and it was successfully validated. I think I would have been mad if I couldn't install it on my laptop.

Actually, I believe you can install it on 4 machines per license.

My debit card (which the lady at the bank says will work online just like a credit card) is in the mail, and I have to wait anywhere from a week to ten days. SON OF A BITCH.
It sounds great, it look great. I can't wait to play it.
