Manic Marble is back with eight more crazy 3D levels! Now all completely free! Fly over jumps and dodge moving obstacles by tilting and turning your iPhone. Complete the current level by the goal time to unlock the next one. Tips: - Practice controlling your marble on the introductory level. Choose the "calibrate" option to optimize the controls for how you prefer to hold your device. - Don't expect to make goal time for a level the first try. Making goal time takes practice and requires completing the level with relatively few mistakes. - If you need to slow down quickly - pull your device straight back. It's easier to brake when you're not trying to turn.
