A 3D Marble Rolling Game That's Fun To Play, And Free

Updated 19. January 2012 - 17:45 by robert.schifreen

Here's a great 3D game for Windows.  It's called Marble Arena.  Your task is to roll your marble around the on-screen world, picking up rewards and obliterating targets.  It's fun to play, and uses top-quality graphics.

The game should run on all recent versions of Windows, though it's an 86 MB download so beware that it may take a few minutes to download.  After which, just unzip the installer and run it, then you're ready to play.

The installer is larger than VirusTotal will check, so I was unable to use that system in order to scan it for viruses and malware.  However, my up-to-date copy of Sophos on my PC reckons it's perfectly clean.

You can get Marble Arena from www.marble-arena.com, and it's completely free.

 

 

My thanks to Panzer for pointing this game out to me.

It looks like a cool game, but it seems to have some weird bugs. I couldn't even get past the first area without it breaking. :/ I've got Windows 7.
I have played Neverball though, and that was fun, if a bit challenging to finish!

Need directions how to play the game. Couldn't find the hint sheet online mentioned by Rick_S.

As has been said, the cursor keys move/zoom the board, and the WASD keys roll the marble. There's a Help button on the main start screen if you look.

Sounds like Neverball.

It is a lot of fun. Frustrating until I looked at the online hint sheet and saw that the WDSA keys were used for movement and not the mouse, though. :-/

Thanks for the find!
