About

Thumb Marbles

Features
Read full description

A marble game you can almost feel. Slide forward deliberately, feel the thumb snap, and flick realistic glass marbles across the felt. Move your shooter anywhere along the launch rail, calculate the angle, and clear every target before your shots run out. Play free, offline, with no advertising and no account required. Choose between two complete journeys with 96 levels in total. EXPLORE 48 FREE HEALING ORCHARD LEVELS Pull back a river stone, release the sling, and knock apples from a peaceful painted orchard. Move your launch position freely, watch fruit fall into the harvest basket, and keep a stone flying through more than one apple. Eight chapters add wider fruit arrangements, visible rebound obstacles, moving branch guards, changing ground, and optional mastery goals. All 48 Orchard levels are free, with separate progress and no power-up spending. MASTER 48 CLASSIC RING LEVELS Progress through eight chapters of tighter shot limits, mixed materials, moving bumpers, armor, vaults, precision locks, surface zones, and mastery goals. The first 36 levels are free. Chapters 7 and 8 are available as one optional permanent expansion. BUILD A SKILL-BASED LOADOUT Earn coins through play and spend them on six campaign power-ups: longer trajectory guidance, steadier control, extra elasticity, added mass, score criticals, or one extra flick. No paid coin packs are offered, and fair modes ignore numerical power-ups. LAND PERFECT STRIKES Hit clean, aligned, high-energy shots for a deterministic momentum bonus. Score-only critical strikes add excitement without changing collision physics. COMPLETE DAILY MISSIONS Return for a deterministic new board, improve your best score, build a streak, and complete three daily missions for coins and a free power-up. DUEL OFFLINE AI Share one persistent board with an AI opponent in fast six-turn matches where position and timing decide the winner. FEEL EVERY SHOT Realistic glass marbles, responsive haptics, strength-aware launch sounds, collision effects, and an animated right- or left-handed thumb make each flick feel physical. KEEP MOVING FORWARD After repeated failed attempts, receive a recommended support item. Practice Assist becomes available later with an extra shot and aim help while capping mastery at two stars. No account required. No advertising. Progress, settings, rewards, and match history stay on your device. Clear the ring one perfect flick at a time.
