Controls & how it runs

Your goal is to get all the marbles in the level into the hole! The number in the top left of the screen is the amount of marbles that have to get into the hole. To make a marble move, left click near it to create a blast and watch it roll! There will be boxes in the level - these are extra marbles you can unlock! Have your marble collide into the box to obtain them. The amount of balls in the box are displayed on the box. When you have multiple marbles, you can press the arrow keys or A or D to switch between which marble you want to have in focus.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for puzzle cabinets

Count what's missing, not what's there. In matching and logic boards the empty spaces and absent pieces usually draw the shape of the solution for you.
Solve the corner first. Constrained edges and locked pieces have the fewest options, which makes them the honest starting point of almost every board here.
If you're stuck, change the order, not the plan. Many boards on this row are the same moves played in a different sequence — the lock was the order all along.
