Join the HG101 gang as they discuss and rank an open-world RPG with an arcade-style sensibility. Then stick around as returning special guest Phil Salvador joins for Marble Drop, a puzzle game about dropping all the correct marbles into all of the correct holes!
New post on The Obscuritory about Marble Drop, a puzzle game by Maxis. If you ever read a picture book as a kid where you traced your finger over a maze or a pathway through a busy scene, then you’ll know what sort of fun Marble Drop has in mind. It’s a cross between a maze and a Rube Goldberg machine, and you don’t actually have to finish any of the levels to appreciate it!
Marble Drop (read on The Obscuritory)
As the marbles whirl through the machines, they trigger obstacles, which alter the maze for the next marbles that come through, like switching a ramp from pointing up to pointing down. The marbles might even loop through the maze, double back over their own paths, and go in a different direction next time. It’s not quite a Rube Goldberg machine, but each level is an elaborate contraption with plenty of moving ramps, elevators, switches, cannons, crossbows, open flames, and spinning doohickeys. The challenge is to figure out where the marbles are headed next. Which funnel do you drop them down?
Marble Drop is a game that rewards careful, cautious play, dropping one marble at a time. Don’t you just wanna go apeshit though? Don’t you want to pour a dozen marbles down the tubes at once to see what happens?
