Marble Fun is a fun game that can really give your mind some good exercise. I really enjoy playing puzzle games because they make me feel like I’m not wasting my time and energy on something mindless. It really feels as if I am enhancing my mental abilities play with puzzle games. They’re fun, they allow you to exercise your brains without feeling seriously strained.
In the game, you will need to guide marbles of different colors into the right color-coded bins.
As you start guiding the marble through the screen, there will be many challenges that will prop up on the screen preventing you from successfully guiding the marbles. There are hammers, teleports, springs, flames and other obstructions that will suddenly get your marble off-course.
There are 50 interesting and well-made levels for the game making it a fun game that you can play for hours on end. Each level is names after a famous Mathematician or some other genius adding to the whole “intelligent” theme of the game. The game really stretches the mind even of the smartest players. Your score for each level depends on how well you did for that stage. If you manage to overcome the obstacles then you get good points, if you lose your marble because of the obstacles in the course then you will be forced to buy new marbles which makes the points you will earn from game lower.
If you lead a marble to a different bin then your marble will be destroyed. Some marbles like the black marble and the gray marble serve special purposes. You can lead the black marble to any bin as it changes colors to match the bin color after it has already landed inside the bin so you can’t make any mistakes with it. The thing is the black marbles are very expensive. The gray marble gets destroyed when they land inside any of the bins but they can be used to change certain factors on the course so that you can easily maneuver your next marble through the course.
This game is fun even for children so it’s definitely a game that the whole family can play. Young kids will find the colorful graphics and the concept of the game fun while the adults will find interest in the challenging puzzles of the game.
Another thing I like about puzzle games is how you don’t have to beat yourself up trying to perfect the game and finish it in one or several tries, you can just play it and have fun with every level that you play.
