Cozy Marbles allows you to set up what are effectively perpetual motion machines, constructive a track which allows marbles to go from A to B to C – in spectacular style – and then back round to A again.
A well-constructed set-up is something I could watch for ages, and the same goes for dominoes, and the Domino Rally game I had as a kid, also watching the World Record attempts on the odd occasion they were shown on TV.
This game has a number of built-in tracks, plus extra ones have been created by fans of the game, which leads to a bit of an odd issue that needs to be corrected, in that you can subscribe to individual tracks in order to view them in your own leisure, but it’s a bit of a pain to do individual subscriptions to one LEVEL. Even per-creator would be less of a chore, as occasionally people create more than one.
On the plus side, the physics in Cozy Marbles are stunning, however, and I could watch a brilliantly-made creation for hours. Alas, even with the tutorial within this game, I can’t really put together such a behemoth, myself, but will enjoy continuing to watch them.
Check out my videos below for the tutorial and some of the superb tracks I’ve witnessed.
Cozy Marbles is released on August 20th on PC/Steam, but you can try out the demo for free, now.
