Marble Mania - A Physics Platformer

What is this game?


Hey everyone! I wanted to share what exactly this is and use some examples from the beta of my first level. Marble Mania is a new game I am creating that is heavily physics-based. You get to roll, jump and manage momentum to collect 5 objects in each level.


A big part of the game will be managing momentum. If you don't break then it takes a very long time for your marble to slow down. You can see the effects of momentum in this GIF:

As you can see, I have to use the momentum of going downhill to cross the gaps and I have to break at the end to stop the momentum.


Along with these wide open rolling challenges there are also more condensed platforming challenges, as can be seen here:

There's a lot more to the first level, but I don't want to spoil too much, haha.


Future Plans

So I expect to release this game before June, hopefully a bit sooner. I work on it consistently every weekday, but progress is a bit slow. I hope to share the progress here on GameJolt hopefully every other week.

Obviously, everything shown can change in the final game, especially the graphics haha. I've always been more of a programmer than an artist. This is going to be the most polished game I've made so far, so thanks to those of you who have shown interest, hopefully I can get this thing released before long.

New Aesthetics - Devlog 3-29-2021

Thanks for Marble Mania's success. I'm working on a new long-term project now - a Grand Strategy RTS. I'm really just prototyping game mechanics right now, here's what I've done with the overworld so far.

Wanted to preview some of the levels from my physics platformer #IndieGame Marble Mania before release. The Construction level features a lot of vertical movement and moving platforms.

New Devlog Coming Tuesday

Won't be able to work on this for a few days due to vacation - Here's a sneak peak of the new level to tide you over

Beach Elements - Devlog 3-1-2021

Been working on a Tetris clone recently, mostly for my own learning. I hope to make it very customizable - custom block skins/rotation modes/drop speed/etc.

Marble Mania releases tomorrow! Tonight I want to show off the city night level. It's full of dazzling lights and also marble Pinball.
