Manic Marble is back with more 3D insanity! Dodge moving obstacles and fly over jumps by tilting and turning your device. Finish the current level in under the goal time to unlock the next one. Need a boost of speed? Hit the "Turbo" button! Be careful - it might send you right off the maze. Features: - Intense 3D graphics and physics (60 frames per second!) - Intuitive accelerometer-based control system - Optional touch-based control - Compete for a Top 10 score with GameCenter leaderboard support - Same app runs on your iPhone and iPad 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. If you don't like the accelerometer control - try switching to touch-based control. - 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 - tilt your device straight back towards you. It's easier to brake when you're not trying to turn. - Use Turbo to get the best possible level time - or make up time lost by falling. Using Turbo is optional - all levels can be beat without using it. Manic Marble 4 has been recoded from scratch using the "Oolong" open source 3D engine. Real Support Got questions? Problems?

Read full description

Welcome to Marbletron - the endless marble runner! Your objective is simple: roll your marble as far as you can down the platforms to rack up as many points as possible. Each platform in "Marbletron" is randomly spawned, uniquely designed and filled with a variety of obstacles and challenges. Some platforms are flat and straightforward, while others are filled with twists, turns, and deadly gaps that require quick reflexes to navigate. You'll need to use your skills to steer the marble along the platforms, dodging obstacles and jumping over gaps to keep the game going. Controls are intuitive and easy to use. You can swipe left and right to steer the marble in any direction, or use your device's tilt controls. Swipe up will allow you to use the jump power and dodge obstacles. Can you roll your way to the top of the leaderboard and become the ultimate Marbletron record holder? Share it with the world! Note that if you uninstall the game you may lose both the coins you collected and marbles you purchased. Restoring purchases brings back only ad-remove (if you purchased previously). This is to avoid requiring personal data, respecting the fact that many players prefer not to share their info. So - once you install Marbletron - please don't delete it unless you're done playing!
