InstantAction Error
InstantAction has run into a slight issue where Marble Blast Online will not automatically update. This means you may not be able to see leaderboards, or you may not be able to play at all.
Until we get this resolved, the following will act as a temporary fix:
1 - Open Internet Explorer (this will NOT work with Firefox)
2 - Enter the following address exactly:
WINDOWS XP - C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\GarageGames\IAPlayer\products
WINDOWS VISTA - C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData
3 - Delete the folder named "100"
4 - Sign in to InstantAction to automatically re-download the files
For more information about re-installing the game please take a look at the following knowledgebase article:

Thank you for your patience until we get this issue taken care of.

Tour of GarageGames
Today we bring you a special video: A tour through the GarageGames building, where the InstantAction team is nested. We've had a few suggestions to tour the building and we like to listen to you, so here it is. Keep in mind that it was lunchtime so we there aren't a lot of people lingering about and this way we didn't decrease productivity. Without further ado. I present "GarageGames Tour"!
I hope you found it amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. We've got some other videos in mind, so stay tuned. If you've got any suggestions, just let us know.

Feedback Welcome
In case you didn't know, InstantAction has forums. In those forums you can find a home for every single game that is playable on InstantAction. In those game forums, you can have conversations about the game, most importantly you can provide feedback about the games. The developers of the games see this feedback and take it into consideration when they are working on the game.
What does this mean? Plain and simple: Your feedback is important to us and with the forums you can provide the feedback. It is much appreciated when you provide feedback about games in a productive manner. This way we know what you like and what can be improved upon to make the experience more enjoyable. This is live development!
::NOTE:: The forums are open to anyone, that means you can browse them and get an idea of what they're all about. You'll need to login or create an InstantAction account (I know you have one) if you want to post.
