First off, I would like to wish everyone here a very merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!
To keep in the spirit of Christmas, I come bearing gifts in the form of two brand new levels. And yes, these levels are NEW new, not remakes or reworks, 100% brand new content, and I cant wait to see the damage you guys can do to them!
Lets jump into it!
New Levels
As mentioned, two brand new levels included in todays update. It was going to be three, but you know how busy this time of year gets, so the third will be coming soon... xD
Unrealised Losses - Time Trial
This level can be found in the hard set of levels, and as the name suggests, things wont be as simple as they seem. The level is on the longer side of things, as will be the case with most of the new levels coming to the hard/extreme sections, so be sure to explore for those juicy skips. I wont give too much more away, other than to say you should make sure to set your self up for success!
Checkmate - Time Trial
This level can be found in the extreme set of levels, and may actually be the hardest level currently in the game, though I guess that is subjective... Its a gem hunt style level, and has a few "first of its kind" platforms as far as Lost Marbles goes, so watch your step... :)
Demo Rush (2024) - Level Rush
I figured it was time to add this as a level rush, since the previous 2022 demo rush no longer represents the current demo levels. I decided this time to exclude the tutorial levels this time around, since I could imagine people getting sick of playing through those in every level rush available so far... So yeah, its a fairly short one, with only 4 levels, which I'm sure some people will enjoy pushing to its limits!
My main reason for adding this however, is that I plan to revise the level selection available on the demo in January, and so when that happens, ill be sure to also add the 2025 demo rush to the game! Have suggestions on which levels I should include in the updated demo, please do let me know! <3
Christmas Marble
The 2024 Christmas marble skin is finally in the game! Some of you may already have it unlocked, by logging in to the game between the 11th Dec and now, but if you haven't, you still have until the 5th of Jan next year to grab it.
