  • Update 1.1.3: Fixing the Fixes - 3 April 2018

    Hey guys! We put our backs into it and solved the ball freezing issue (hopefully for good this time!). We also turned on the D-Pad inversion by default on Linux (though the menu option's still there). Finally, we updated the leaderboards framework - it should be back online for everyone now. Thank you for your feedback!

  • Update 1.1.2 is Here! - 30 March 2018

    This update brings a couple of fixes for the issues you've reported. The ball won't freeze anymore if you hit pause just before winning/breaking We sorted out a memory leak that could affect performance after some time We added the option to invert the D-Pad vertical axis (useful for PS4 controllers in some setups) We tweaked a number of levels to improve visibility and/or make them easier to understand Thank you for playing TLBTC!

  • TLBTC for Mac and Linux are Ready! - 15 March 2018

    We worked hard at it, and it is finally ready. The Little Ball That Could, our darling marble platformer, is now available for Mac and Linux! Now, all of you waiting for some quality roll-the-ball action set in colorful, maze-like levels filled to the brim with traps and puzzles will be able to get your fix, regardless of the OS you prefer. Leaderboards work cross-platform, and so do the cloud saves, so you can switch between operating systems and keep your progress.

  • TLBTC Gameplay Trailers Are Up! - 10 September 2017

    Howdy folks, As the launch day approaches, we have published a new set of gameplay videos on our Steam page! We wanted to showcase each task type in TLBTC, so we picked three random levels and made short videos of us playing through them. We're pretty happy with them, as they encapsulate perfectly what it feels like to go for that flawless speed run, find that dastardly hidden puzzle piece, or give it your best and get all the puzzle pieces. There's some more gameplay trailer footage to be found on our YouTube channel, so go there now and take a look!
