Apparently I'm the only one -- but Marble Blast freezes up my mac every time I try to play it! This is saying a lot -- it's the ONLY program that will completely lock up OS-X on my machine!

It will crash every single time -- sometimes on the "splash" screen, and a couple of times I've played for about 30 seconds or so before the freeze.

Anyone else having similar problems? Any suggestions?

I tried the demo awhile ago and was just debating if I should register it. It's a great game in some respects but annoying in others. Most levels fall into 2 categories: really really easy and really really hard. I am stuck on level 23 on intermediate and level 2 on hard. They are both frustrating levels that I wish I could just skip. The novelty is already wearing off.
It looks just like a telefunken' U-47 - Zappa

It is really frustrating, but oh so addictive. It's never crashed on me either.
Couple more games like this and .mac will have been worth the money

I still think .mac is way to expensive.

$49/yr would be much better value, given what you get for it. Even half way ($75).

You're not alone. I've never got it to run. I can get it to the point where it loads the actual game, where it quits unexpectedly (but the OS survives), but only if I run it directly from the disk image.

My brother has the same problem. He can't get the game to run.

Great game by the way, too easy for my liking but still very addictive. Finished all levels in 3 days so I'm looking for custom levels right now.
