Marble Blast STOP

Overview
Marble Blast STOP was a marble-rolling video game that was modified from a vanilla copy of Marble Blast Gold. This modification was released sometime in 2015. The modification didn't have great reception for its shoddy presentation and content. However, over time, speed challengers found this was a useful modification for path-finding, and this means many of its stages had great replay-ability. The modification was also loved for Jiquor's ambition to release a full-scale modification, something which hadn't been done (at that time) since 2011, not counting Whirligig231's Marble Blast Powered Up modification in 2013. This modification was removed from the Marble Blast Forums in 2018 per request of the author. A re-mastered edition may be happening for this modification, according to the author.
