Instructions
Marble Mile
Tilt a floating course under a glass marble. Ramps pick it up, ice lets it run, narrow ledges punish a heavy hand. Flags add time, falling costs three seconds, and the mile is five hundred tiles long.

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.
How to play
- Arrow keys tilt the floor.
- Mouse: hold and drag like a stick.
- P to pause.
On touch
- Drag anywhere with a finger like a stick: the further you drag, the harder you tilt.
Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.
Maker’s note
The course is built from a seed: lengths, ramps, ledge widths and slippery stretches, so a daily run is the same mile for everyone. Finishing the whole mile turns spare seconds into points.

High scores
The top ten runs are saved in this browser with your three initials. Nothing is uploaded unless you submit a ranked run, so clearing site data clears the table.
