About

Bringing Marble Madness to a whole new level, Ballance increases gameplay with many new items not seen in that earlier game.

Ballance is a marble/ball game up infinitely high where a fall would never end. You must navigate 12 levels filled with many puzzles you will need to figure out in order to complete the level. This must all be done before your time runs out. Thankfully, there are spots to increase your time throughout the levels.

As you progress through the levels, you will have the ability to change your ball between 3 different materials (wood, stone, and paper); all with different properties. For example, the stone ball is slower to get moving and harder to stop. It also will not get up the steeper ramps. But it is needed to move various things out of the way.

Maneuver the ball without letting it fall from the platforms and ramps. It may seem fairly easy at first, but as you progress through the levels, the difficulty increases. Can you get your highscore on the official website as a top 10 highscore for each level?
