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!
