This little patch fixes the bug where marbles were disappearing in the middle of the field. It's honestly crazy that this somehow got through all my testing. Anyway, keep enjoying the game and keep reporting bugs to me!
I'm still looking into a bug with the "refund all" button not refunding. If anyone has a save file where this happens to you, please send it over to [email protected] and I'll keep trying to fix it. Thanks and have fun!

Some folks were experiencing save loss with the latest update. The problem has been identified and eliminated! If you lost your save, you should be able to retrieve a backup by following these instructions:
Your save directory should be located somewhere similar to this-
C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Fun First\IncrediMarble
Inside of this directory is ManualSave00.json (the active save file) and AutoSave10.json (in addition to 20 and 30.) If any of these AutoSave files are larger than your ManualSave00 file, it is likely they contain your old save! Being sure to back up your current files, store ManualSave00 somewhere else and make a copy of AutoSave10 (or 20 or 30) and rename it ManualSave00 so it becomes the new active save. Your progress in the game should be restored!
I apologize to all those affected. This problem arose from a difference in the code that runs in Unity vs in final product form and, as a solo developer, I don't exactly have a suite of QA testers to help me check for problems like this! Remember, if you ever face a problem with this game, I am always available through e-mail at [email protected] and will always make sure you're enjoying yourself when playing IncrediMarble!

Hey marble fans! I know it's been a while but the Idler Fest seems like a good a time as any to get all the biggest changes to IncrediMarble out there for your playing pleasure! I'll list some of the biggest changes below but for those who don't own the game yet, here's some important information:
We're having one last sale before the game goes live with an increased price.
Up until this point, every sale has only been 15% making this is the largest sale IncrediMarble has had on Steam and it's unlikely the sales will get any larger in the foreseeable future. What does that mean?
As the name of this update implies, this patch is practically the final product. I actually wanted to have the game Live for this update but some outside forces combined to delay some very important additions (hint, they are related to some much-requested Steam features) so here we are.
To everyone who already owns the game, here are the new features for you to enjoy. Most of these are community requests so pat yourself on the back if you asked for:
If you've stuck it out this far, allow me to thank you for still being interested in my little indie game that I launched 4 years ago. I may not have redesigned the UI like I wanted but I think the game is better than it's ever been with this patch and I hope you find more joyful hours playing ahead.

- The color picker lets you change slide, marble, and background colors!

Hey there, marble heads!
It's been a long time coming but the #1 requested feature is finally here!
You can now change the colors of marbles, slides, and even the background! You edit the current color palette to your liking and go wild. If you want to reset the palette to default colors, you can toggle the Holiday theme.
The #2 requested feature is actually a bug fix: The late-game pieces now have boosters in them to keep the marbles flowing. I also discovered a bug related to any overlapping pieces (like the criss-cross and loops) that would get marbles stuck that should now be fixed.
Otherwise, this includes all the bug fixes I could get in since the last release.
I hope you're all enjoying the game! I'm planning on adding a volume slider, trying to make the Twitch integration smoother, and fixing up whatever else feels necessary to leave Early Access before the end of the year. Thanks for your support!
And one last thing:
Hey there marble lovers! There's an update on the public beta-test branch that's a basically-finished version of the next major patch, bringing IncrediMarble very close to a state in which it will leave Early Access! To play this new version, right click IncrediMarble in your Ste
Hey there marble lovers! There's an update on the public beta-test branch that's a basically-finished version of the next major patch, bringing IncrediMarble very close to a state in which it will leave Early Access!
To play this new version, right click IncrediMarble in your Steam library, select "properties," then "Betas," and click the drop-down and choose "beta-test - The open beta test branch." Your game should update and you'll be introduced to the most colorful new feature IncrediMarble will ever receive.
Note: If you're worried about bugs, you can backup your save at (for Windows users)
C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Fun First\IncrediMarble\ManualSave00.json
(Mac/Linux users need to figure out where this file is on their own. Sorry, I forgot!)
So, what's new? 2 major things.
1: If your platform's native language doesn't use the period character for decimal points, the game should now properly save and load for you!
2: Click on a marble dispenser or click on the slide color panel to see a new rainbow-colored marble button. Click that to see the new color picker! You can use this to edit the color palettes that are, of course, used to change the colors of your slides! New palettes have also been added so you can change the colors of your marbles and the background. You can also choose to randomize the colors of every marble spawned!
Extra Notes:
- Changing the theme will change all palettes back to their default colors.
- Currently, the holiday theme does not allow setting marble colors.
- There are still a few more user requested changes I want to make before making the 1.7.0 release to the public.
- The news panel is a little out of date.
Let me know via [email protected] if you face any problems. Thanks for testing!

Considering I haven't updated the pricing since the original release and the economy has shifted around the Globe, I figured I would update the regional pricing for everyone outside the US. So if you've had the game wishlisted for a while and are still on the fence, hopefully the pricing better fits your budgetary needs!
The US price remains unchanged... which is, in a way, its own discount. ;) Have fun!

Welcome to IncrediMarble 1.6!
It may not seem like much but a few important changes have been made to the game's engine to allow for better updates in the future. First is the floating UI element that you'll see when highlighting any piece that has a wheel or a marble spawner. You're now able to use this floating UI to enable and disable the motor on any wheel piece. The "spawn randomly" button has now been moved to this UI element as well for the marble spawners. If you didn't know about it, this allows marbles to be much less determinate in how they move down your slide tower. It's not the most popular game feature but it's a solid use case for future implementations of this new UI element.
Another important change is save file size. Sizes are now 30% smaller! Although this doesn't really seem like it matters considering the save files are already very tiny, it's super important in copying save file text to the clipboard. Although you aren't yet able to transfer saves between platforms, you will eventually, and having these save file text strings be smaller is really important in usability.
For folks who have trouble with the end-game, I've actually increased the late-game earnings by about 500% to help you out. Have fun!
Finally, a tiny change that anyone with a problem will be happy to have: You can just click a button to copy the save file text to your clipboard for e-mailing to me, the developer, for debugging. Considering I'll probably never be able to fix every single bug in the game, this will be a relief for anyone who wishes to submit any reports.
I really wish I could've left early access in the summer but I've been lazy. Sorry. It'll happen someday, I promise.
Happy Holidays to all you marble heads! There's a small pile of presents for you with this major update: A new piece has been made that initiates a marble race mode! Click the checkered flag in the bottom left to try it out! A limited-time Winter theme has been added. Enable this
Happy Holidays to all you marble heads!
There's a small pile of presents for you with this major update:
As usual, a bunch of bug fixes and backend improvements were made that I can't keep track of and, honestly, would make you yawn if I listed them. Trust. ;)

Hello marble heads! I hope you've all had a great summer!
I've added a new beta branch for all three platforms to Steam so experimental IncrediMarble updates can get delivered to you for testing. This new beta test version of IncrediMarble will share the save file you have for the release version of the game. In other words, this is cross-save compatible! In order to access the new beta, simply right click IncrediMarble in your Steam Library, choose properties, select betas, and choose beta-test from the dropdown.
This version of IncrediMarble allows you to either hold the right mouse button to create a selection box or hold the Control key while left clicking on pieces. There are still some kinks to work out with this new feature:
If you find any other problems with the beta, please report them in the forums. If you find a problem which causes an extreme need for a save file reversion, be sure to check out the emergency autosave load buttons in the help panel.
Thanks for checking out the beta. Have fun!

Two small fixes for the Linux version of the game: The DLC should now be activating correctly. The button opening a webpage for retrieving your OAuth token for Twitch Integration should now smoothly do so.

You didn't ask for it, but you got it anyway! MacOS and Linux platforms can now natively play IncrediMarble! Enjoy!

Just a tiny fix to the new build mode for the elevator piece. It should properly stay snapped to the grid now. Thanks to player ikillomega for reporting the bug!

Heya folks!
Updates have slowed down significantly and I apologize for that. The plan is still to leave Early Access in the Summer months, though! Until the next update (which should include a tutorial, a couple new fun pieces, and BIG MAYBE multi-selection) I wanted to get something out that's been in pre-release for a while now: Fast building!
This new mode (which I need your feedback on and thus doesn't have a way to toggle off right now) lets you very quickly build marble tracks! This should be a boon for... well... everyone! It's honestly a much nicer way to build if you're usually playing with snap mode on. I hope you all enjoy it. Don't forget to leave feedback in the forums if you have any thoughts about it, either positive or negative.
Until next time, happy building!
A very kind new player reported an exploit that has now been patched. Thank you, as always, for your support!
