Basic gameplay involves taking control of a marble, rolling it from a start pad to a finish pad without falling out of bounds. The player controls the marble’s spin and movement, and can also make the marble jump. The player can control the marble’s spin even in the air, which affects both the marble’s acceleration through the air and its momentum when bouncing off a surface. Levels may contain items that can be collected via collision with the marble, such as gems that need to all be collected before a level can be finished and powerups which apply various temporary effects to the gameplay that are beneficial to the player. Levels may also contain hazards which push the marble out of bounds and special surface types which change how the marble interacts with the ground.
