What Makes Pocket Marble Runs Stand Out
Simply trace the screen to create a Marble Runs!
An easy-to-use app designed for everyone – it allows them to create fun devices similar to those featured on Marble Runs (Chain reaction machine).
Use a dragging motion to draw a line and create a simple device that follows that path, and then try changing the device afterward!
The longer the straight line, the more devices you can choose from.
Have fun making your device move in many different ways!
We plan to add many more devices in the future!
*Method of operation:
-
Trace the screen with your finger to create a path.
-
Lift your finger to create a simple device.
-
Tap the device to swap it for another one.
-
Press the Start button to start. Have fun by changing the angle and the zoom on the camera.
-
Sound effects: turn them on/off from the options on the top right of the top screen.
-
Music: turn it on/off from the options on the top right of the top screen.
-
Device shadows: turn them on/off from the options on the top right of the top screen.
*If your smartphone is showing low performance, we recommend turning the shadows off.
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Dont get us wrong, this game does deserve a good rating, but our god, the amount of glitches we have found in this game is ABSURD. First of all, if you hit the stop button while holding down a speed changer, the effect stays on until you press the speed changer again. Second of all, the 12th crank module can prematurely activate the length 1 boat ramp without having to press play (most likely due to the activation hitbox colliding with the ramps hitbox) and may even be able to crash the game. Finally, the Ice U-Turn may be able to somehow reactivate after hitting the start of a (previously activated) TunnelCrank module in a specific way. (NOTE: we have not managed to recreate this issue a second time, so this may be false) Anyways, you should probably add some borders to the edges of the floor so that freely moving objects dont fall off while still being actively viewed, which causes a floating point error. Oh, and one more thing: could you p l e a s e try to correct the English descriptions of some of the modules? They feel kind of weird to look at. Anyways, Im still giving this a 5 star review, because of how well done this game is.
We keep getting the same trick generated, for the next update could you do a mode we're you can build you own track with it being autogen or being about to select what parts then it gets auto gen.
So uhm yeah honestly not that bad kinda annoying when the bugs happen but its a great game you should create a YouTube channel and show some easy tricks if thats possible but you guys are amazing we really appreciate your content thank you for this this is a very great game you should make more like this this is like the best mobile marble game out there and the hard work put into this its just to good thank you for all your good coding you are kinda talented ngl and thats it so than you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
We like the game but sometimes the tricks do not work and we do not like that because you have to go through it again and sometimes it does not work again.
We just got the game from the App Store because we love Rube Goldberg machines. Its a great game! We do think there are improvements to be made though. We think it would be cool if you added some sort of online area where people can share levels. We also think it would be cool if you made an xp system where as you play you level up and earn more parts. Lastly fix minor glitches and maybe even add a level system where you have to fix a problem in the machine. These ideas are all longshots but we still love the game.
This app is so much fun to play in our free time. It also gives us ideas so we can make our own Rube Goldberg machines.
We remember playing this when we were young and now we came back to the app to play it and when we were getting tricks we saw there where new ones and that made us happy.
Thank you guys for the opportunity to give our child knowledge because in July shes going to a Garner Holt club Thank you for everything.
We only downloaded this game to get out of drawing a Rube Goldberg marching for ap bio but we actually got hooked on it. This game is very fun and really engaging.
We like it. Its awesome. We love this game. But we think we are going to need two more slots because In February first we will get more tricks. And more every month.
We love the game awesome graphics,parts and physics.
Dear what ever you are we want more tracks we the tubguldbrg.
We absolutely love this game… It reminds us of the Japanese educational show pythagoraswitch.
We really love this game, but we have one main problem with it, THERE ARE ONLY 3 SAVE SLOTS! If the game had more save slots (at least 10) we would rate 5 stars, but Im just disappointed that there are only 3 save slots. Another problem we have, is that the room you have to make machines is kind of small. Maybe you could add an option to choose a small, medium, or large course? And if you make any of the 3 purchases you unlock giant course size? This is just a recommendation, and we would still be happy if you made the room to build machines bigger. But our main problem, is the fact that there are only 3 save slots, so if more are added we will rate 5 stars.
Love this app. No joke. We love Rube videos and this lets set your own without having to set up hundreds of dominoes etc.
