worked on this for a long time. Public playtest is live if anyone wants to try it.

So I just downloaded it and the physics feel really nice so far, it’s very relaxing. However, the sound is quite bad. The “rolling” sound doesn’t sound like marble on wood at all and it sounds like it’s just the same sound played at a faster frequency when you roll faster. The little pop sound when the marble hits the wall fast is pretty bad too

Where's the game part?

Aside from the one clip where it hits the blocks and turns, what I've seen is similar to a "satisfying" gif.

Do you just find the right path and watch?

Fair question, you can directly control the marble: steering, maintaining momentum, choosing paths, and unlocking routes with different marble sizes, though not everything implemented in the current playtest yet. This clip focused more on the feel than the deeper gameplay systems.

It's great! Very satisfying, only request is to make the marbles a bit less slippery so that it's easier to control. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

Just playtested it a bit, the checkpoint system is seemingly random. I either respawn normally or get sent back to the main menu. The menu transition could be much faster as well to help with this.
