Marble Dropper is a computerized version of the classic game we all played as kids, but with a few new twists: Marbles. This is a largely multiplayer focussed game where two players duke it out in an arena to claim the others marbles. Each player begins with a predetermined sack of marbles, varying in size and impact upon the game. When two players begin a match, the player who goes first is randomized. The starting player will then select a specific marble from their sack and try to knock the Goal Marble into the opponent's goal net while keeping it inside the arena boundaries. If your opponent knocks your own marbles out of the arena, you get to re-use that marble, however, if you knock your own off the table, that marble will go into the list of marbles your opponent will get to claim at the end of game if they win. If someone knock the Goal Marble out of the arena, the players whose turn it is next, gets to place the marble in a specific area, not unlike the D on a pool table.
The game will be set up in a birds eye view to enable players the best possible positioning for dropping their marbles and knocking the goal marble around. The first player to score 3 goals wins. Whoever wins, then gets to choose a marble to take from his opponents stash. However, don't be afraid that you will lose all of your marbles! Your stash can never go below the minimum amount required to play, if this happens, another marble will be randomly generated to take you back to up to fighting strength.
A single player mode will be available, but this will be solely as a practise match against AI of varying difficulties. In this mode you can never lose nor gain marbles, but if you play on the hardest difficulty, you will gain credits to unlock new skins for your marbles.
Key Features:
- A fun, nostalgic revival of an old game, given a sports like twist.
- Hundreds of differing patterns waiting to be applied to your marbles allowing you to create a truly unique collection.
- Marbles of differing sizes impact the game in different ways: the larger the marble, the more power in its drop, but the less control you have over the destination of the Goal Marble.
- An unlockable skin customizer to further enhance your already unique collection.
- You can swap out any combination of marbles in your gaming sack, there are no restrictions! Discover you favourite tactics and select your marbles accordingly!
