Another one of those marble rolling games

This is my first time posting at this forum and I thought I’d start by sharing a game I made a while back. It’s one of those games where you roll a marble around a level, sometimes collecting objects to progress.

Note:
For the most part, there’s no sound, and when there is sound, it tends to be annoying. The reason I left it in is because I tried to write a script to alter the sound of the marble based on its speed. It doesn’t really work like it used to, now it just makes clicks.

There are 10 maps, but most of them suck, so there is a level select screen when you start. 

While the game isn’t exactly ‘finished,’ I doubt I’ll ever work on it anymore.

Here’s another link that will hopefully work better:

I like it! I only played through 5 levels, but the levels are inventive and pretty fun!

Controls are a LITTLE unresponsive, and it’s very easy to build up too much speed, but it’s also very cool.

These kinds of games are usually the most fun - simple!

Thanks for the feedback.

I would like to mention that my main reason for posting this game is not just to show it off, but to provide examples that will hopefully help new users learn how to use the game engine.
Also it may be a starting point for anyone who wants to make a similar game or to improve this one.

I think I should also mention that a few of the textures are not mine, but were found on various websites.

i think it would be a good idea to pick another place to upload it. your current host is somewhat annoying. :confused:

i can’t even download it…

That was amazing!

I tried to make something like this a while back, but failed.:no:

The loop on level 9 was cool, but the game seemed to slow down really bad.:confused:
(my fps dropped from 59 to 6)

You should totally enter this in the GE competition!:yes:

It looks better than the game i made, but then again i made a maze…nice

This does look pretty awesome…so simple.

You could put thumbnails under each level number, so you can see what the level looks like.

ive only played level one, but when i tried to cheat it said “Nice try”. i love that

Basic levels like this I think you can bump up the poly count a little so the round objects don’t look so weird.

thats really good, looks alot like I-Fluid though. Keep up the good work.

and welcome to the forums.

Can you upload to mediafire or something? I can’t access those downloads.

Thanks mini! :smiley:

Hey, the game isn’t bad. Needs some better textures here and there, some textures are stretched and stuff. Also GLSL will make better.

I think you need a new marble. :stuck_out_tongue: you can afford a more high poly one.
