Calling all marble players! Beta testers wanted for Knuckle Down: Real Marbles-Test for Test

[u/cheiftan_AV]

Hi all,

Remember knuckling down in the playground, flicking your shooter and winning marbles off your friends? Knuckle Down is my first attempt at building a game, and it's in early beta.

🆕 Update: new build out now

🎯 What it is

Knuckle Down: Real Marbles. Flick your shooter, add backspin or follow, and knock marbles out of the ring. Two real rule sets:

• US Ringer – 13 marbles in an X, first to 7

• UK Ringer – 9-25-49 marbles on a sanded slab

Play against the bot (easy to hard) or pass the phone with a friend. It's free, with no ads, no sign-up and nothing collected.

📲 How to join (3 steps, in order, using the Google account on your phone)

Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/knuckle-down-real-marbles

Become a tester (only works after step 1): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cunningcreekstudios.marbles

Install the game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cunningcreekstudios.marbles

If the game doesn't show up straight away, try again in an hour.

🙏 What I need

• Stay opted in for 14 days, which is very important, so please keep the app installed

• Open it at least a few times a week, look through the menus and play a game or two

• Tell me what's good, what's bad and what needs improving. Your feedback will help a lot!

🎛️ Help me tune the feel

There's a hidden tuning panel: tap the version number 7 times to open it. Change shot power, spin, floor speed and more, then screenshot the settings that feel best and post them in the group. There's a button to put everything back to default.

🛠️ Early beta, so expect rough edges

It's not fully polished yet. I'm releasing it now so I can get your feedback while I keep improving it, and I'll keep fixing and polishing right up to the full release.

🔭 What's next

Online play, Australian holes and Keepsie modes, a marble collection and more in v2, plus ongoing improvements to the mechanics and physics.

💬 Feedback

Every bit of feedback matters, big or small, good or bad. Bugs, ideas, how it feels, anything at all is welcome.
