Marble Mania

About the Game

MarbleMania is a classic Zuma-style marble shooting game. Colorful marbles march along a winding path, and you must operate a shooter to fire marbles and eliminate them all through color matching.

### Objective

Eliminate all marbles on the path before any marble reaches the end.

### Controls

| Action | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| Aim | Touch/drag on the screen to rotate the shooter's aim |
| Shoot | Release your finger to fire the current marble |
| Swap | Tap the frog shooter to swap the current marble with the next one |
| Pause | Tap the pause button at the top-left corner |

### Matching Rules

- Shoot a marble into a gap between marbles of the same color on the path
- 3 or more consecutive marbles of the same color are removed and scored
- After removal, if the newly adjacent marbles also form 3+ of the same color, a chain reaction is triggered
- Chain eliminations grant bonus points
- Consecutive shots that result in eliminations trigger a Combo, increasing the score multiplier

### Scoring

| Mechanic | Score Calculation |
|----------|-------------------|
| Normal elimination | Eliminated count × 10 + chain bonus |
| Combo | Eliminated count × 10 × (1 + combo count) |
| Chain reaction | Eliminated count × 10 + (chain count - 1) × 10 |
| End-of-level bonus | +100 per remaining segment on the path |

### Star Rating

After each level, stars are awarded based on total score:
- ★ 1 Star: Reach the base score
- ★★ 2 Stars: Reach base score × 2
- ★★★ 3 Stars: Reach base score × 3

Base Score = ((Level Number - 1) × 2 + 70) × 10

### Power-ups

Power-ups randomly appear on marbles on the path (approximately every 10–22 seconds). Shoot a marble carrying a power-up to activate it.

| Power-up | Effect |
|----------|--------|
| Arrow | Fires a rocket that knocks out a single target marble |
| Aim | Shows an aiming line for the next 6 shots |
| Pause | Freezes marble movement for 5 seconds |
| Lightning | Fires lightning along the aiming direction, clearing all marbles in a straight line |
| Slow | Halves marble movement speed for 5 seconds |
| Back | Marbles reverse direction for 5 seconds |
| Clear | Removes all marbles of the same color from the field |
| Bomb | Explodes, removing all marbles within 3 units radius |

Additionally, you can watch a rewarded video ad every 30 seconds to get a Bomb power-up.
