Marble Muse

Marble Muse is an enjoyable physics game in the same genre as the original Marble Madness, with a few twists on the formula. The object of the game is to get the marble to collect all the stars on a level, including the final star which appears only after collecting all the other stars. However, the player does not control the marble - the player controls the board, and by flipping/tilting it we get to move the marble. There are also no 'monsters' - the challenge is 'merely' moving the marble appropriately to get the stars. There are 25 levels, 8 levels for the 3 'worlds' and another custom level in the scenario designer. The levels are short - if a player could achieve a good time on the first run of each level, the player could finish the game in less than an hour. The challenge, is well in the challenges, which require retrying the level to get the best times/secret marble/red star mode. The majority of my play time involve getting most of the achievements. Techinically, the game ran well on Linux (natively and via Proton), Windows also works. The graphic requirements are modest even on high settings, and it easily ran on my limited Intel iGPU (there was one hardlock which never repeated, I blame the drivers). All in all, well worth the cheap price.
