Adventure XP contributes to your existing player rank. • Special marbles with fire, water, dynamite, rainbow, UFO and color-painting powers. Combine them for spectacular chain reactions. • Obstacles unique to each planet. Untie ropes, crack ice and work out how each mechanism opens. Their appearance changes as you make progress. • A daily adventure, free reward wheel, earned chests, daily stamps and the skill-based Cosmic Vault. • Your own planet with buildings, upgrades and decorations. Visit players, develop your profile and trade items in the marketplace. • Races on three additional planets and a detailed avatar editor. • Campaign and Marathon can run locally without a connection, then synchronize results when you reconnect.
