Free fractal physics marble racer
Screenshots
Marble Marcher is a fractal physics game for Windows in which you have to race your marble against the clock across an unpredictable terrain to reach the flag. You can control the marble with your keyboard or your mouse. The game is free to download, but if you want to support the developer CodeParade in other projects, you can make a voluntary payment.
CodeParade has ceased supporting updates for this game, but the Marble Marcher Community has resumed with upgrades. Therefore, you can download and play the Marble Marcher Community Edition with additional features.
How is Marble Marcher different?
Marble Marcher is different because it's based on a fractal physics engine created by the developer, CodeParade. As a result of this unique physics engine, it allows fast collisions with other objects.
What's the object of the game?
The objective is to get the marble to the flag at the end of the level as quickly as possible. You'll have to navigate across the landscape, avoiding all hazards.
What are the system requirements for Marble Marcher?
To get the most out of Marble Marcher at 60fps without any lag, you'll need a PC with a dedicated GPU. If you have an older GPU, you may find that you have to reduce the resolution to compensate. Newer GPUs running the game at maximum resolution won't experience any problems.
Our take
It's rare to find a game that's based on such realistic physics. With Marble Marcher, CodeParade has solved one of the most common glitches in gaming. Getting the relative positions of objects within a game is notoriously difficult, so it's reasonable to expect that we'll see more of this kind of ray-marching.
Considering this original version of Marble Marcher is essentially a proof of concept, it's definitely worth downloading this free game to experience the beautiful and unique gameplay.
