Switchball HD

I originally bought this via Direct to Drive back in 2007, and really loved it, much preferring it to Marble Blast Gold & Slick Ball. You can download both of these games from various site e.g. Mediafire, Double Games or Marbleblast.com for free. I checked both games for security and both passed with no issues. I was big into marble rolling games at the time; usually, playing them as a break from more intense games, usually AAA games such as Vietnam based games released in the early 2000's for example, Line of Sight: Vietnam, Vietcong 1 & 2 , Men of Valour (UK spelling), Shellshock: Nam '67, Conflict Vietnam & Battlefield Vietnam (plus 1942) and sometimes Americas Army v2.5 or the early Call of Duty or Men of Honour (UK spelling) games to name just a few that I was playing in the early 2000's, at least until Battlefield 2 was released in 2005, which took me up to around 2011 before I moved away from BF2 due to the many mod's that were released (and still are for BF2); however, at that time I was still playing my copy of Switchball and other marble rolling games until I'd been with Steam a couple of years. I'd totally forgotten about the game until it was released on Steam …

about 15 years ago i played the original [i]switchball[/i] and i loved everything about it. however [i]switchball hd[/i] isn't just a remake but it's a different game altogether with new maps and new game mechanics. that's good news and bad news at the same time. good because old fans get fresh food. bad because the old idea of a ball switching between stone, wood and paper got watered-down with even more material types and actual power ups. and sadly that really doesn't add as much to the game as you would hope. it's not so much about the puzzles anymore but about getting from start to finish as fast and smooth as possible. you always need to change form for one or two tasks and then switch again for another one or two tasks. and again and again. this way it's more like a chore than a fun game mechanic. also there are very few secret passages hidden along the way. all in all i didn't enjoy this game as much as i did the original [i]switchball[/i]. parts of the game were not properly tested and sometimes you'll need to go back to the last checkpoint or restart the whole level because some other balls or crates or other world items fly off the rails and can't be used to solve p…

This was a fun puzzle platformer back on xbla. Still fun today but with an HD upgrade.

This game is awesome. I played it as a kid and its just as entertaining now as it was like 20 years ago. The puzzles are satisfying and entertaining and the puzzles associated with each ball type are memorable. 10/10 nostalgia trip.

One of my favorite ball rolling games, even one of my favorite overall games, of all time. So happy an HD version was made and brought to Steam so it could played easily on modern computers! Graphics/levels look amazing in this HD version! Extremely happy the original music was kept in this version. A DLC should be made that includes more levels since 30 levels is not enough.

Light puzzle/marble hybrid. Love that having a time limit is optional. Good fun, give it go.
