A downloadable game for Linux

Hi! This is a fork of Marballs which can be found here:

About this fork

This version differs from the original project in a few key ways:

  • The game runs on LÖVE2D, using a PICO-8–compatible engine called PicoLovehttps://github.com/picolove/picolove

  • This fork is designed specifically for mobile devices and touch screens.
  • If you plan to play on desktop or with a gamepad, I strongly recommend the original project instead. The touch-focused tweaks in this version may feel annoying, and there is currently no way to disable the touch controls.
  • These APKs are Alpine packages intended for PostmarketOS and will not work on Android.

Useful tip:

The game includes a pull-down menu that can be accessed by swiping down anywhere on the screen, as long as you’re not touching the on-screen controls. This will reveal a menu sliding down from the top of the screen.

Most of the options are still a work in progress. However, the last option at the top lets you quickly close the game—just pull down until you reach it, then release.

The first option is intended to rotate the screen, but this feature is still under development and not fully functional yet.
