Very fun game! could very easily be developed into a full game and do very well. I only had a minor issue where for no visual reason I could see a non-locking marble would act locked and I could not knock it  someplace and essentially waste a shot trying to move it and other issues like it being in the way. Not sure if it was just a marble I had not seen effected it or it was a bug. Still very good and had me go back in for the had mode.

Developer

Thank you very much ! Unfortunately there were a few bugs, mostly related to the physics engine, that we saw once and were unable to understand or even reproduce, so I say sorry to all players who experienced some of them :’(

I loved this entry!! How unique! I loved playing Marbles as a kid, this really brought me back haha

Thank you ! We were definitely hoping for a bit of nostalgia inducing theme there !

I can't believe you guys were able to make such a game in just this jam! It was super fun, though it'd be great if there was a way to cancel shooting the orbs.

Developer

Wow thanks ! Yeah, like I said in a previous comment we pushed back QoL a little too far and ending up missing on that stuff to include more content instead

Nice game, took a few minutes to get the hang of of it. Did not really pay attention to the abilities of the marbles, "Da Bomb" hit my board pretty hard 😉. Great job with this one.

Developer

Thank you ! Yeah the Bomb marble was literally the first one we programmed ! Even after testing it for hours in development I still love it as much haha

Cool game with great music.  I've never played marbles before and it took me a bit to figure out how to play.  I thought it would be helpful to provide hints to the player as to what each marble does when they throw it because I found it hard to remember all the marble's abilities.

Developer

Thank you ! Yeah unfortunately we thought a little too big for this project so we had little time for QoL stuff with so much content planned for the MVP. There’s a ton of stuff, including what you mentioned (we planned for tooltips at first) that were left in the back burner.
