Marble Run 3D, under the lamp

Marbles were historically made from agate, cut and rolled smooth, so a marble race is a fitting game to put next to a lightbox of stone. In Marble Run 3D you pick your country's marble and steer it along a platform track against rivals.

The controls are only left and right, with A and D, the arrow keys, or a finger across the screen. The depth comes from knocking rivals off and staying on the narrow parts yourself.

  • Solo or with a friend
  • A/D, arrows, mouse or finger
  • Challenge mode for practice
