Marble is a complete remake of the classic wood labyrinth game, in full 3D (both screen) with realistic physics, mp3 music, on-DS visual level editor and more.

It was part of the NDS Homebrew Bounty and the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2008 (NDS Game, 3rd place). In 2009, it was voted as one of the top 20 DS homebrews.

  • Full 3D on both screen, either as one big screen or with 2 different views.
  • Skybox to simulate 360° environment.
  • Advanced 3D effects: point light simulation, projected shadows, motion blur.
  • Full MP3 music & 3D sounds.
  • Special bonuses and scenery effects (let’s try this mushroom).

  • High score & progression saving.
  • 25 levels, with various environment and progressive difficulty.
  • Full motion sensor support.
