Marble Muse Arcade
Object of the game
In this fast paced, score attack marble game, collect as many stars as you can and touch the end platform before the time runs out and the course explodes! Guide your marble by tilting the course, sometimes completely upside down! Time bonus, hidden stars, multipliers and combos are all here! Can you collect enough points to achieve the coveted rank of LEGEND?
Combos!
Collect 10 stars in rapid succession to start a combo! You marble literally lights on fire. The combo doubles all your point collection including multipliers for 20 seconds! These are very valuable especially after you have built up a significant multiplier.
Up to 2 players
In a 2 player game, each player takes a turn. If they either fall off the course or the time runs out, they lose a life and the play moved to the next player. Once all the lives are gone, the game ends and your scores are displayed. The player with the highest score wins.
Classic Arcade Style
The inspiration for Marble Muse Arcade has been, of course, classic arcades. Games like Centipede or Marble Madness that use that giant trackball. In fact, this game was originally created and placed in an arcade machine to promote a local game festival. If you’d like to try out that classic arcade feel, the game has been setup to work with the default setup on an X-Arcade Tankstick With a Trackball.
Six Levels
There are just 6 levels in Marble Muse Arcade. This is intentional as many of the classic arcade games had a similar number. Each time you complete all 6, you will start back at the beginning, but the difficulty will be ramped up. Mastering each level will be critical in achieving those high scores, just like the classics!

Fun and challenging. I loved the levels and the ability to either just speed run, or try to get a leaderboard highscore.

Excellent throwback to labyrinth gaming, with a speedrunning twist. Excellent for parties, fun to play with friends online too. You can also win an actual physical award if you check the developer's web page. Worth a play!

Hard marble game where you always start from first stage.
The game’s a precision game where you need to roll the marble to the goal. You earn stars along the way, which raise your total score, and stopwatches, which extend your time limit. You've have to move quickly since each stage has a time restriction.
Marble rolls as you move the screen around with your mouse. Controls are fair because you can still save a marble from falling over the edge by quickly moving the mouse. A marble's unique mechanism is that it can roll over walls and ceilings.
The stages are interesting, and some even look like puzzles. Unfortunately, the game only has one mode: complete as many stages as possible with three lives. When all lives are lost, you must restart from stage 1. And lives are lost very fast because of tricky stages, especially pinball stages where one wrong move sends the marble flying.

I've been playing a little bit the game and the game is quite simple, BUT at the same time quite fun, it is possible that new players need a little bit of time to get totally into the gameplay mechanics but after that the game is quite fun and challenging. I haven't tried the 2 players mode, but I guess that it can be fun to play some random games from time to time.
Here you have some footage of the game:
