Out of Round

Chip is a glass marble with a chip out of him. The inspector says that makes him a reject. Chip would like a word, AND a race. Out of Round is a marble racing game set inside an old glassworks. You never steer. Everything is decided before the gate drops: how heavy your marble is, how well it rolls, how it grips, bounces and spins, and how big it is. Then you let go and watch it run. BUILD IT Win races to earn bolts, then spend them in the workshop. Each stat has twenty levels, and the test rig shows exactly what changes: the scale sinks, the marble grows, the core spins backwards. TUNE IT Every course asks for something different. Heavy marbles break weak floors but sink in water. Grippy ones hold corners but crawl on ice. Backspin floats your jumps. Before each race, drag the tune for that track. RACE IT Twelve worlds, from the scrapyard down through drains, cold stores, arcades, foundries, piers and mills, with rivals who each race their own way. A story told in short comic scenes between them. A NEW TRACK EVERY DAY The daily race is the same generated track for every player in the world. Everyone gets the same fully open kit, three runs, and one leaderboard. Whoever is first when the day closes wins Golden Bolts. RACE YOUR FRIENDS Invite friends through Game Center and race live on any course, the daily track, or a track you built yourself. BUILD YOUR OWN TRACKS Lay out ramps, loops, springs, fans and weak floors on the drawing board, test them, race them, and share the code with a friend. MAKE IT YOURS Paint your marble, name it, and pick a trail. Golden Bolts buy patterns, finishes and trails. They never buy speed or upgrades, so every leaderboard stays fair. Free to play, with short ad breaks between some races. One purchase removes ads for good, another unlocks double-speed playback. Out of Round is made by one person.
