Marble Blast opening screen in Orbz ??

Just noticed you guys have the Marble Blast opening screen appearing first when you start the app.
Is this intentional ?
No biggie, but I thought I'd mention it in case you guys have this finely crafter opening screen we haven't been able to see because of the sneaky MB subliminal message... (jest)
All I can say, from having played a little of the Practice mode is Wow !!!
Even if I played the game at IndieCon, I couldn't help but be positively surprised by the end result...
Congrats, yet again :)
Can we edit levels yet, even if it's just modifying the existing ones, or creating new ones with existing "interiors" and shapes ?
Are you planning on releasing a tool package like Mark just did for MB ?
Wish you lots of sales ;)

I thought it might be something like this, but you have to admit that a rough planetoid with Blast in front of it is quite reminiscent of Marble Blast ;)

Oh, I see :) I thought it might be something like this, but you have to admit that a rough planetoid with Blast in front of it is quite reminiscent of Marble Blast ;)

I thought the same thing when I first played Orbz, and I thought maybe I had opened the wrong program, so I quit. Whoops!

Debuting at MacWorld will be the first two titles of the GG Core line, Lore and GravRally (also by 21-6, the makers of Orbz). The Core line is for games that appeal to a hardcore gamer audience. Core games will tend to be more "main stream" and focused on a more intense gameplay style and more realistic graphics.

Eventually there will be several GG lines of games. All of our current games are part of GG Blast (thus the splash screen), a line which is for arcade style, cartoony games. Generally Blast games are less violent and more about just having fun.Debuting at MacWorld will be the first two titles of the GG Core line, Lore and GravRally (also by 21-6, the makers of Orbz).

Thanks guys for the comments on GravRally. I just got back from E3 and there was some good response to those we talked to about GR. We are looking forward to digging in and finishing that game!

We do plan on updating the in-game editor to support creation of courses. We have a global ranking server, so we want to insure that players only get ranked on "legal" courses, so that's something we need to implement before we release the editor changes. Hopefully next month sometime.
