Tinker with the marble machine to make the marbles reach the cup! Marble Machine Medley is a game that lets you show off your best puzzle-solving skills by tinkering with marble machines. Each level starts you off with an empty machine that you can add pieces to. Your job is to set up the machine so that when you run it, you send the marbles on the right paths and into the right cups. The initial One Cup mode starts you off focusing on yellow marbles and introduces you to all of the marble machine pieces you'll need to play the rest of the game. After that, you'll move on to the Two Cups mode where you'll use your knowledge of marble machine features to handle both yellow and red marbles. Once completing that, you'll move on to the Jewel Collect mode where you'll make the marbles collect jewels as they navigate each machine to reach the cups. Additionally, as you earn stars from completing levels in the main game, you'll unlock some fun little marble minigames that you can play anytime you like. And with the coins you earn from playing the minigames, you can add themes that transform the look and feel of the game with new graphics and sound effects. There's a lot to discover in this unique puzzle game, so if you like tinkering with gadgets and watching them run, Marble Machine Medley might be just the game you're looking for.
