In this score attack racing game, players tilt courses to guide a marble, grabbing stars and hitting the end platform before time expires and the track blows up. Tilt paths even upside down to chase time bonuses, hidden stars, multipliers, and combos that ignite the marble for doubled points over 20 seconds after 10 quick star grabs. Six mind-bending courses loop with rising difficulty after each full run, demanding mastery for top ranks like LEGEND.
Classic arcade vibes shine through turn-based two-player matches on PC, where losing a life from falls or timeouts passes control until scores settle the winner. Chase five high scores, Steam leaderboards, or initials-style classic boards, plus nine marble choices and X-Arcade Tankstick trackball compatibility. Fans of tight, repeatable action challenges chase those peak runs and the Legend award shot.
Object of the game
In this fast paced, score attack marble game, collect as many stars as you can and touch the end platform before the time runs out and the course explodes! Guide your marble by tilting the course, sometimes completely upside down! Time bonus, hidden stars, multipliers and combos are all here! Can you collect enough points to achieve the coveted rank of LEGEND?
Combos!
Collect 10 stars in rapid succession to start a combo! You marble literally lights on fire. The combo doubles all your point collection including multipliers for 20 seconds! These are very valuable especially after you have built up a significant multiplier.
Up to 2 players
In a 2 player game, each player takes a turn. If they either fall off the course or the time runs out, they lose a life and the play moved to the next player. Once all the lives are gone, the game ends and your scores are displayed. The player with the highest score wins.
Classic Arcade Style
The inspiration for Marble Muse Arcade has been, of course, classic arcades. Games like Centipede or Marble Madness that use that giant trackball. In fact, this game was originally created and placed in an arcade machine to promote a local game festival. If you’d like to try out that classic arcade feel, the game has been setup to work with the default setup on an X-Arcade Tankstick With a Trackball.
Six Levels
There are just 6 levels in Marble Muse Arcade. This is intentional as many of the classic arcade games had a similar number. Each time you complete all 6, you will start back at the beginning, but the difficulty will be ramped up. Mastering each level will be critical in achieving those high scores, just like the classics!
