Description
Race your way to the finish line and overcome 12 courses to become the master of marbles!

In this 2004 classic originally published by Atari™, you will navigate 12 sky-high courses. Each course is fraught with different obstacles that will block your path, slide your marble off course, or blow them right into the bottomless void below. Use different strategic advantages to overcome these puzzles while avoiding dangers that can knock your marbles into certain doom — all of which must be accomplished before the time runs out!

This wildly addictive puzzle platformer allows you to change your marble between three different materials with different properties to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead.

Navigate your way through different platforms and ramps without falling off. Starting off may seem like an easy task, but each level gets increasingly difficult. Will you be able to secure a high score?

Fantastic!

A brilliant shot of nostalgia, but beyond that the sense of motion and momentum is an absolute delight.

A good ball game // Un bon jeu de boule

=Avis en français plus bas= This game, dating back to the 2000s, follows the trend of racing/puzzle games that used physics in intricate levels. If you played the game when it was first released, you know what to expect. Otherwise, it's a timed puzzle game with a zen atmosphere. This modern PC port is a welcome addition but comes with drawbacks. First, the display isn’t optimized for modern screens—expect to restart the game multiple times to get it to display correctly. This version includes an executable to change the language, but it only works one time out of five. The effort is appreciated, but be prepared to start your sessions in German. (Since GOG is Polish, we assume it's the closest available language.) If you're discovering this game for the first time and it fits your style, you'll enjoy it. But be patient—stay zen. ===== Ce jeu datant des années 2000 s’inscrit dans la mode des jeux de courses/réflexions qui utilisaient la physique dans des niveaux tortueux. Si vous connaissiez le jeu à sa sortie, vous savez à quoi vous attendre. Sinon, c’est un jeu de réflexion chronométré avec une ambiance zen. Ce portage sur ordinateurs modernes est bienvenu, mais vient avec des inconvénients. À commencer par l’affichage qui n’est pas fait pour les écrans modernes. Attendez-vous à redémarrer le jeu plusieurs fois pour avoir un affichage correct. Cette version vient avec un exécutable pour changer la langue, mais qui fonctionne une fois sur cinq. On apprécie l’effort, mais attendez-vous à commencer vos parties en allemand. (GOG étant polonais, on imagine que c’est la langue du jeu la plus proche géographiquement) Si vous découvrez ce jeu et que c’est votre style, vous y trouverez votre compte. Mais armez-vous de patience, restez zen.

Very entertaing

The game consists in a ball that has to follow a path. There are three kinds of balls: wood, stone and paper and 12 levels to pass. It works well on Linux with the Wine emulator.

Waiting for years!!!

Waiting this for years. Thanks! It is the original game. It's not a remaster, it clearly says in the title: "Balance" Because of the negative reviews, we do nothing but discourage publishers from putting out more games.

It's definately nostalgia piece

I wouldn't give it 5 stars if I hadn't played it as a kid. Overall the game limited replayability and it takes just a few hours to beat. Based on that I wouldn't say it's worth the asking price but on a discount it's a good buy.
