Idle Marble Run vs Algae Bloom Dynamics

Drop a marble. Watch it fall through the pegs, light up every bumper it touches, and turn each bounce into gold. Two marbles of the same kind that meet become one bigger marble, worth far more than the two that made it. That single rule is the whole game, and it never stops paying off. MERGE YOUR WAY UP Every merge unlocks a richer marble. Grey, gold, ruby, sapphire, emerald: the ladder keeps going, and so do the numbers. THE BOARD KEEPS EARNING Close the app and the marbles keep working. Come back to a pile of gold waiting to be claimed, and double or triple it on the spot. FIVE SPECIAL MARBLES FIREBALL destroys bumpers in a single hit. SNOWBALL grows with every bounce. RAINBOW is pulled toward the pegs. SHADOW clones itself on impact. BUBBLEGUM sends bumpers flying. AND PLENTY MORE A cannon that fires marbles on its own. Bonus letters scattered across the board. A gallery to fill with every marble in the game. Achievements, levels, and a cloud save that carries progress from one device to the next. No energy bar, no lives, nothing to unlock with a timer. Just bouncing physics, gentle celebrations, and numbers that always go up. Idle Marble Run is free to play. It contains ads and optional in-app purchases, and any purchase removes the ads for good.

Algae Bloom Dynamics (ABD) is an augmented reality art, science, and game simulation for experiencing how algae blooms occur, and where to find and fix their sources in lakes and waterways globally. Educate and inform people in an engaging augmented reality that is experienced in your own environment. Experience a clear-water lake that begins to have imbalances in phosphorus and nitrogen from human activities and threats from invasive species. Local, regional, and global threats are presented from: - agriculture - household waste - stormwater runoff - wastewater systems - road salt - invasive species - fossil fuels The project includes animated 3D models of: - Fish: Yellow Perch, Rainbow Smelt, and Bass - Zooplankton: Daphnia and Spiny Water Flea - Phytoplankton: Microcystis and Aphanocapsa - Mollusks: Zebra Mussels - Macroalgae: Nitella ABD is a project created by the Eco Resilience Global Games Research Group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The project is funded in part by the Jefferson Project. For more information, please see our website.

Whether we are enabling people to experientially see, hear and touch plankton in new ways in order to understand their vital importance to freshwater ecology, or making it possible to become a water droplet traveling through an entire watershed, we are using advanced game technology creatively to introduce people to new worlds, new perspectives, and new systems to help understand emerging environmental knowledge and the vital need to work together globally for a sustainable, eco resilient future.
