How to play Marble Run
A marble waits at the top of the board. You build the path it rolls along, then let it go and watch real physics decide what happens.
- Tap + Ramp or + Bumper to add a piece. Each level gives you a set number of each.
- Drag a piece to move it. Drag the white end of a ramp, or use the rotate buttons, to change its angle. The little cross removes the selected piece.
- Press Drop. The marble falls, rolls down ramps and bounces off bumpers. Land it in the green GOAL cup to clear the level.
- Red spikes pop the marble. It also fails if it falls off the board or sits stuck for too long. Your pieces stay where they are, so adjust them and drop again.
Stars, hints and keys
Every level has 2 gold stars on the way to the cup. Clearing a level earns 1 star, and each gold star the marble touches on the way adds one more, so 3 stars means a perfect run. Your best result for each of the 12 levels is saved on this device. Clear removes your pieces, and Hint shows where a ghost piece could go. On a keyboard, R adds a ramp, B adds a bumper, N picks the next piece, the arrow keys move it, Q and E rotate, Delete removes it, and Space drops the marble.
