Is it Ok For Me To Sell A Marble Blast Inspired Game? [For Admins]

I am making a game in Unity 3D called "Orbis". It is heavily inspired by Marble Blast. It's going to have gameplay similar to MB with similar powerups. It uses a powerup that allows you to jump higher as seen in MB. There is also a "Rocket" powerup that works just like the Super Speed powerup. The level design will be similar to Marble Blast as well. Also, there will be many completely original powerups.

This game I am making will be sold on the Google Play store and maybe the iOS app store for a premium price. Also a free version will be released with cut content and levels (like a demo) with ads.

GarageGames, with be an issue? I really don't want to get into any copyright trouble.



If this is a problem, I will change the game to something else or not release the game.

Here is a video of the game:

Currently, the helicopter powerup at the end is still being worked on. That's why it's not working correctly.

EDIT: Oh wait. IAC owns Marble Blast. So maybe I should ask them.
Do you still think making this game is a good idea?

Your edit nailed it. You'll have to talk to IAC. GarageGames, LLC has no say in Marble Blast matters.
