SatisfAction - The Ultimate Marble Machine

You have found yourself in a mesmerizing marble machine, with the primary task of maintaining satisfaction amidst an increasingly chaotic marble mix-up. Your tool? A large, robust claw. Your strategy? A blend of quick reflexes, strategic placement, and tower-defense inspired mechanics.

Don’t drop the ball!

The marble machine is dotted with various containers, each assigned to a different color of marble. Your primary goal is to ensure satisfaction by directing each marble into its correspondingly colored container. Should any marble land in the wrong container or tumble off the machine, satisfaction levels will decline. Use your trusty claw to avert any marble mishaps and keep satisfaction at its peak.

~Mystery black marble~

Black marbles break the rules. They lack a designated path and instead offer a unique opportunity. Toss these mysterious marbles into the special container up top to unlock powerful defensive tools - the Paint Cannons!

You’re not alone!

Strategically deploy your Paint Cannons to recolor marbles on the move. But beware! A misplaced Cannon could result in a colorful catastrophe, threatening your satisfaction levels.

Thanks :)

I made this game solo - programming & modelling all the assets from scratch, except for the audio. I know only 0.1% of you might recognize it but I originally came up with the claw idea from this penguin mini-game in an old Madagascar game (yeah that exists). After developing the claw mechanic I remembered a really satisfying 3D “breakfast contraption” render made by Peter France from Corridor Digital, and that’s how the marble factory came to be :D

P.S. my current high score is 1030, but I’m sure I can do better once I get more sleep!

Edit: The highscore is 2020 now, Beat that! 😎
