A chain of coloured marbles winds along a curving track toward a hole at the end. Fire from the launcher in the middle, match three or more, and let the closing gaps do the rest.
About Marble Loop
Marble Loop is a shooting game about a queue you cannot stop. Coloured marbles roll out of a mouth at one end of a curving track and grind their way toward a hole at the other, and you sit in the middle with a launcher that turns wherever you point it. Fire a marble into the line, get three of a colour touching, and they pop. Everything behind the gap rolls forward to close it, the front of the chain rolls back, and the whole line loses a little ground. That push is all that stands between the leading marble and the hole.
The scoring lives in what happens after the pop. When a gap closes, the two marbles that meet get checked again, and if they match they go too — every link in that reaction is worth more than the one before it, so a shot placed where two runs of a colour sit a few marbles apart pays several times what a plain three does. Reading the chain for those setups is the whole game, and it is also why the obvious shot is often the wrong one: clearing a run early can strand a colour you were going to need.
You always hold two marbles, and the one waiting behind the launcher can be swapped in at any moment, which is frequently the difference between a wasted shot and a chain. Five track shapes come round in turn — a plain loop, a tightening coil, a rounded frame, a rippled ring and a long three-turn spiral — and each level runs a little faster, with a sixth colour arriving once you are a few levels in. A level takes a minute or two and three lives cover a bad one.

How to play Marble Loop
Point the launcher in the middle of the track and fire marbles into the chain rolling past it. Three or more of one colour touching each other pop and leave a gap. The gap closes on its own, and if the two ends match they pop as well, which is worth more each time it happens in a row. Swap the marble waiting behind the launcher whenever the one you are holding is no use. Clear every marble on the track to finish the level; if the front of the chain reaches the hole you lose a life.

Tips & tricks
- Look for two runs of the same colour with only two or three other marbles between them. Popping the group in the middle closes the gap and sets those runs against each other, and every extra pop in that reaction scores more than the one before it.
- Every marble you add shoves the front of the chain a step nearer the hole — unless there is an open gap between where it lands and the front, which swallows the push instead. When the track is turning red, shoot behind a gap, never in front of it.
- A shot that hits nothing costs you nothing. If neither marble you are holding is any use, fire one into empty space to draw a fresh colour rather than wedging a wrong one into the chain.
- A pop drags the whole chain back down the track, and a chain reaction drags it much further. When the leading marble is nearly at the hole, do not go looking for a safe three — go looking for the shot that pops twice.
