I was intrigued by the title of this game since I was dared to lose my marbles (i stuffed my pockets with them and documented where and when they fell out).
The music was very whimsical, which I enjoyed. I had hoped the guide would have more information on how to play the game, and I got an error partway through:

The game looks fantastic and the music is very good aswell!
Main problem is I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know you could "skip" balls until the second round and the shop overview doesn't give you much of an idea as to how many balls you have of each colour. Plus there were a ton of different ball types! Maybe stagger the early levels to introduce different ball types?
It definitely has promise and I hope you refine it!
Thank you! I hope to add some QoL like a tutorial and rerelease.
Art looks amazing, and music's good too.
I'm just confused how to play. I clicked on the guide button, but I'm a little lost. Maybe it's just me though.
I didn't have much time to add a tutorial unfortunately... This is a classic marble matching game! You want marbles of the same colors to be in a row, then they'll be eiliminated and you score points! All the different marbles are a lot to throw at the player at once, and I wish I could change that. But basically keep shooting each color at the same color until something cool happens! Then you can chain those together to score more points with the combos (explained more in the guide). Hope this helps.
wow, this is gorgeous. I'm shocked so few have played
Thank you!
Unfortunately my game crashed on round 3
Apologies for the crashes! I've fixed many of them, I just can't resubmit the game while the jam is ongoing
I get it, theres a few major bugs in my project that I'd love to be able to fix. Your game rules btw
Thank you!
The graphics are spectacular, and the music also fits really well with the game itself. It's pretty sad seeing gems like this go unrecognized just because they are downloadable and not playable in web. It's a great game overall, just wished for something that explained what the various marbles do while I'm in game
Thank you! There is a guide available on the menu... I had hoped to get more done in the way of a tutorial but I was racing the clock for all 24 hours of the last day... :P
Absolutely gorgeous visual style, and the music and gameplay are great as well ! Super polished for a 4 day game jam this is insane!
Very fun and well made, I'd expect this one to be far more popular than having 0 reviews.
Thank you so much!
