ZEN MARBLES
A downloadable game for Windows
ZEN MARBLES is a delightful marble run builder, focused on a calm, pleasing, aesthetic experience. This is an early prototype and all feedback is warmly welcome as it will greatly influence the development.
- Experience the joy of building and racing your own marbles with a digital version of the classic marble run toy.
- Craft your own wooden tracks and marvel at the beauty of your creation as you watch small marbles race through them.
- Take control of the marble and experience the ride firsthand, feeling the twists and turns as you navigate through your custom-built course.
- Charming aesthetics and endless possibilities for track design.
- Prototype, it's not yet finished, but I'm excited to share this early peek with you and welcome your feedback as I continue to develop the game.
