Marbles is very similiar to Atomix and was heavily inspired by it.

Goal is to create a more or less complex figure out of single marbles within a time limit to reach the next level. Sounds easy? Well, there is a problem: If a marble starts to move it will not stop until it hits a wall or marble. Teleports, arrows and crumbling walls make it even more interesting.

The main idea is based on the classic 'memory' card game but with a new feature.
All pair of cards is associated to an unique sound. In Marryampic mode, you hear a sound, you must identify to which pair it correspond, and then find the pair. But you can play like the original in the classic 'memory' mode, which is less difficult. You can then find any pairs. The sound of the pair is played when you've found it.

Many cardsets themes are available. See homepage.
No cardsets included in the game engine archive (need to be downloaded separately)
