## What is Marble Arcade Mania?

Marble Arcade Mania is a 3D plinko arcade game inspired by classic casino marble pushers and Skeeball cabinets.

HOW TO PLAY
• Tap anywhere to release a marble from the swaying dropper above the playfield
• Time your release so the marble plinkos down through the chrome pegs at just the right angle
• Land in one of three glowing bonus holes to trigger the spinning bonus wheel
• Each round = 30 shots. Beat your best score.

SCORING
• Center hole: +100 points
• Side holes: +250 points (harder to hit, bigger payout)
• Bonus wheel: spin for +5 / +7 / +10 marbles, +5 / +10 extra shots
• Hit the rare JACKPOT segment for +5,000 points and a 25-marble cascade

GAME FEATURES
• Full 3D physics — every drop is unique
• Two timing elements: the swaying dropper AND the sliding peg platform
• Bonus wheel with tap-to-stop control — multiple hits queue up so nothing is wasted
• Satisfying procedural sound effects: clinking marbles, cha-ching coin payouts, jackpot fanfare
• Pause menu with Resume, Start Over, and Return to Title options
• Persistent high score across sessions
• Casino-style chase-light marquee border, color-cycling neon hole glows, slot-machine aesthetic throughout

No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. No accounts. Just classic arcade chaos.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-06-09

THE SHOP JUST GREW BIG. Three new cosmetic categories alongside marbles:

PEGS — recolor every peg on the playfield. Gold, Neon, Lava, and Rainbow.

BOARD THEMES — repaint the entire playfield surface and rails. Casino Velvet, Carnival, and Vegas Strip.

ENVIRONMENTS — change the whole world around the cabinet. Neon City brings drifting flying vehicles + a magenta skyline. Cosmic gives you a ringed planet, shooting stars, and a slow purple drift. Classic stays the original.

Mix and match. Each category is independent — Rainbow marbles + Lava pegs + Carnival board + Neon City env is totally a valid look.

The shop now uses a tab bar at the top to navigate the four categories.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-03

THE WHEEL IS NOW SKILL — your tap to stop ACTUALLY determines the prize. No more loaded chance.

NEW MINI JACKPOT — gold sliver opposite the main JACKPOT. 2,500 pts + 10-marble cascade. A second skill target if you can't quite time the big one.

INTERNATIONAL LEADERBOARD — country flags, Game Center avatars, equipped-skin indicator, and a Friends / Global toggle. See where you rank worldwide.

NEW LEGEND — clear breakdown of every wheel prize, what MARBLES vs SHOTS means, and what each jackpot's cascade gives you.

GAME CENTER SIGN-IN FIXED — the leaderboard prompt now actually appears, and your existing best auto-submits.

Plus: pause + mute buttons no longer cover the HUD, jackpot wedge shrunk to a real-skill 10°, round-end timing bugs fixed, and a smoother round-over transition.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-29

NEW: Global leaderboard via Game Center. Sign in to compete for the highest score worldwide — tap the leaderboard button on the title or game-over screen.

ALSO IN 1.1:
• Marbles upgraded to polished metallic chrome — reflect the neon playfield lights like real ball-bearings
• JACKPOT segment now hits more often
• Local best score reset so the new leaderboard starts fresh for everyone

### 1.0 — 2026-05-28

No release notes.
