Cheats

[brizzle01]

Hello,

I wanted to share a bit of feedback based on how I remember playing Marble Blast Gold as a kid. One of the most fun parts of the game for me was experimenting with cheats and the developer console. It felt less like “cheating” and more like exploring the game—playing with gravity, speed, jump height, and seeing levels in ways you normally couldn’t.

I remember using key combinations to open the console (especially on Mac) and typing commands to modify physics or movement. It was a great way to learn how the game worked under the hood and added a lot of replay value outside of normal progression. For me and a lot of other players, cheats were part of the creativity and experimentation that made the game memorable.

I understand why cheats aren’t always enabled by default, but I wanted to mention how much that aspect contributed to the fun and longevity of the game for me growing up. Even having an optional or sandbox-style way to experiment with those mechanics was something I really appreciated.

Thanks for all the work you’ve put into the project—Marble Blast Gold was a huge part of my childhood, and I still enjoy revisiting it.

Best,
Bradley

Hello, thanks for the feedback. The game does have a console that just prints out all the debug info like how it is in the original games and there's a few helpful debugging commands that are available.
You can submit help in the console (press tilde button, console only available in Platinum and Ultra) and it it'll list them out. Only one of them would actually qualify as a cheat which would be timeScale <value>. Value being 1 means normal speed, 0.5 for half speed, 2 for double speed.
I can add the other commands that affect the marble attributes so there's more "cheats" available. Support is already present because some custom levels altered the marble physics in the same way these cheats did, it just needs to be exposed to the console.
