Cute little marble simulation game. Reminds me of Marbles on Stream. It's indeed a fun way to decide on things, especially when you can import your own textures.

I can think of several ways or ideas for this game, such as having a custom preset to load in marbles, or different maps, or even a way to have the camera follow a specific marble.

I guess I can see how this relates to the theme, but I think it's not a strong relation. A way to improve it is maybe to add more things that interact with the marble. Maybe part of the map only allows the first 10 marbles to pass, then the route is closed. Or maybe some parts require to sacrifice a marble. I don't know, there's a lot of things that can be done xD.

I think the textures of the 3D objects are pretty neat. Reminds me of old school games like DOOM. Though the UI could use a little bit more work, especially for the list of marbles. It could be resized down a little bit.

No audio. Some calm music would maybe help. Also some SFX such as starting the race, finishing the race, or maybe even when each marble hit each other would be fantastic (tho I'm not sure on the marbles one, may be too obnoxious).

Overall, I like this game. I can see the potential with this game, especially with the import texture part.

You won't believe this but I had plans for adding (almost) all of those features you mentioned! I was just short on time because I am not very good with time management, moreover it was my first jam so I didn't have the skill of developing games in a short time. That's cool that the things to improve you mentioned align with my ideas, that proves that those additions are important. I even started coding camera follow marble system in the last day but quickly realized that I won't make it on time. After the voting period I am definitely gonna add all of those things! Thank you for the review!!

Oh this is your first jam? Congrats on finishing and submitting it!

Glad I could be of help with the suggestions ^^

Didn't get tho what you meant by custom texture preset

I can't really explain it with words, so I'll just use an example if that's alright.

Imagine I have made several marbles, maybe something like "Pizza", "Spaghetti", "Ramen", and "Fried Chicken" along with their own textures. I wanted a feature that could save all of those marbles, so the next time I open the game, I can load those specific marbles again.

This way I can reuse the same marbles over and over again, without recreating them one by one.

Oh, thanks, now I get it!
