Cryptic Allusion and Ganksoft are proud to announce Marbol 1.0, exclusively for the Apple Macintosh!

News and Changes Since PR1

Marbol is a fast-action puzzle game of skill, where you must place marbles according to color and destroy as many as possible before you are disrupted by random marbles being pushed from the bottom. Match blocks of 3+ of the same color, or blocks of 4+ clear marbles, and they disappear from the board. Remove too many supporting marbles, and your pile will fall to equilibrium again.

Marbol requires a reasonably recent Macintosh machine running OSX 10.3.9 "Panther" or higher. It uses OpenGL for graphics, so 3D acceleration support is necessary. It has been tested on the following configurations successfully:

• PowerBook G4/1.5, with Tiger 10.4.1
• iBook G4/1.33, with Tiger 10.4.1
• Blue & White G3, upgraded to a G4/500 and Radeon PCI, with Panther 10.3.9

COMING SOON: Strategy tips for Marbol!

It's on the books! Another episode is being uploaded (or has been uploaded, depending on when you read this) to fill your creatively warped little minds with dull banter and rambling opinions.

Download at your own risk...

In my defense, I had not had much to eat today, and the beer was taking quite the liking to my liver near the mid-point. Please pardon my lack of grammar and complete loss of vocabulary.

Notes for the show follow the two itty bitty dots:

Let us open iTunes for you here (subscribe and review please!), or the episode can be found here.

Host list
-Roddy
-Pam
-Mike!

Intro
Music - Kid n' Play - Back to Basics
The CryptoCrew talks a quick bit of news, gives opinions on emulation (albeit fairly brief and uninspired...sorry! we'll do better next time), and a rundown of played games over the past couple of weeks.

Links
Here are the relevant links covering what everyone discussed during this CryptoCast (some are more important than others…we’ll leave it up to you to decide which is which):
www.tigsource.com - Always great for Indie game news.
WiiHD Homebrew Guide - Nearly forgot to add this important article! Trying this right now.
Castle Crashers - We're still waiting for this one; points at the ready in (virtual) pockets.
YetiSports - It's a Yeti with a bat, smacking a penguin. What else is there to say about YetiSports, eh? If you haven't ever played these, you're missing out on some Flash-y fun.
Parasol Stars - The superb TG16 game that got poo'd upon by some of the 1Up staff...how DARE they?!?! (YouTube video)
Puzzle Farter - Take Puzzle Fighter, remove the Fighter and...oh hell, just read the title of the game and know that you get what you assume. (See what I did there? ASSume?...*sigh* I know I'm terrible)
Anderson Cooper - With his swarthy good looks, amazing hair, and worldly knowledge, this newscaster certainly knows his way around technology! Oh wait...no he doesn't. I must have had him confused with Adam Sessler. (YouTube video)

Outro
Music - Soul'd Out - Peace, Love and Soul

Posted by DJGeki

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that we'll be recording the podcast tomorrow afternoon (that's Monday). I was able to grab Mike to get back in on the action, so I wanted to wait until he was free.

I'll be posting tomorrow promptly, soon as I'm done editing!
