Object: Roll the marbles onto the given target positions. The game simulates the tilting of the board to make marbles roll. Click the board to drop two targets (red and blue ring) and two coloured marbles. Click any of the arrows at the border to roll the marbles one step. Click a double arrow to roll both marbles to the end of the column or row they are in. The marbles will only roll away if not blocked by another marble. On the way the marbles leave tracks which also block further movements. The goal is to move both marbles onto the ringed target squares, but not further. If you move a marble away from a target, you lose. You also lose if you move a marble onto the wrong target. Variant 2: With an additional randomly placed block on the playing board. Variant 3: With three marbles, on a 10x10 board. Variant 4: With three marbles. As a help, you drop a block onto the board at any time. Variant 5: With three marbles and an additional randomly placed block. Variants 6 - 18: titled 'Fixed Setup 1-13', these are fixed, solvable setups to train your skills. Variants 19-36 are the EXPERT LEVEL: Here you have to make the three marbles enter their targets AT THE SAME TIME! You lose if one of the marbles enters its target too early. Note that in the last, winning move the marbles may travel different lengths due to the double-arrow buttons! Which of the fixed variants 24-36 can you solve using a single-arrow button as a last move? (The answer is : all variants apart from one). Note that not all of the random setups may be solvable. But don't give up too early. Many of the setups that look impossible to solve have a solution! More freeware as well as real puzzles and games at my homepage http://karl.kiwi.gen.nz. |
