A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

It is highly recommended to play this with a game controller, but mouse and keyboard do work. The controls are detailed in the Options menu.

Marbleverse is a platfomer game where you are a rolling marble in space. You are not bound by normal character controllers, instead moving imparts angular torque, and together with friction, you can move around.

There are currently three levels:

  • Level 1 - Roll around on asteroids and kill all other marbles
  • Level 2 - Classic Roblox Obby
  • Level 3 - The Battle Against Father Marble - Father marble is now mad you killed all 57 of his children in level 1. That is of course only true if you play the levels in order.

I wanted to make 3 more and make them all better, but I ran out of time due to spending 2 days getting the options menu to not crap its pants whenever it is used and 1 entire day just creating the disk/rounded edge cylinder shapes you see.

I was going to make a build for mac, but for some reason I had to do a lot of extra work for that so I gave up. There are builds for windows and linux, for 64 and 32 bit x86 processors. I did not test the windows one as I developed this on linux. The linux one has been tested.

I don't really plan on updating this, it was more to just do my first game jam. I created this for the Juniper Dev Game Jam, where the theme was "spin to win." I felt this fit the theme because the player must spin/roll around to get to the end, and since the end is the win, you spin to win. Be advised, you might experience "low quality syndrome" from just hitting play.
