More about this game

Marble Machine Maker is a physics sandbox where your goal is to guide falling marbles into scoring cups. In build mode, you drag and drop parts like ramps, pegs, bumpers, and spinners onto the board. You can rotate each piece to create the perfect path. Once your machine is ready, switch to run mode to release the marbles. The run ends when all marbles have either landed in a cup or fallen off the board, giving you a final score.

Tips

Use the SNAP button to align parts perfectly to a grid, making it easier to build clean ramps.
Bumpers have a high bounce power, so place them carefully to avoid launching marbles off the board.
Tap a switch during run mode to change its direction and route marbles to different cups.

Questions

How do I delete a part?

In build mode, tap the part you want to remove to select it, then tap the DELETE button on the right side of the screen.

What do the different cups do?

The cups at the bottom award different points. The left cup gives 10 points, the middle gives 25 points, and the right cup gives 50 points.

Can I interact with the machine while it's running?

Yes! You can tap the switch parts during run mode to change their direction, allowing you to manually guide marbles as they fall.
