It’s already been said but strong Monkey Ball vibes once the walls were removed, the goal being slightly elevated was an unexpected challenge

Great idea that fits the theme. The game is very pretty. The shader makes me feel like I need to dig up some old red/blue 3d glasses.

The stage design is superb and I really enjoy how each stage within a level transitions into each other. Makes it feel like one cohesive level.

This game is brutal though! Very hard lol I usually make a point of beating each of the jam entries but I dunno, this one may beat me. Very difficult, especially the last segment of level 2: that’s a real doozy!

Thanks for submitting!

Thanks! I tried to balance the difficulty... I even learned about the term "rage game" while I was developing ;-) Hopefully this isn't quite that, and the play testers I had were able to get through all the levels, and even though it was hard for me I didn't want to make it too easy. 3 stars are definitely possible for all levels though!

This reminds me a lot of Super Monkey Ball (including the fact that I'm awful at it). I think it's cool that the stage transitions in the levels look like the wire scaffolding for actual marble runner sets, that's some great attention to detail. The music is great as well and the shader is a nice touch.

Thanks. I appreciate the comment. I never played SMB, but now that I look at it I can see the reference! I grew up playing games like Marble Madness though, and I had more than one Labyrinth board in my home. My kids had Perplexus growing up, so I've always loved the concept of getting a marble through a maze. :-)
