The keyboard controls are god awful as you're stuck to two axis, and can't carefully control your tilt, which is really important in this game. However, if you have an VR or Console controller, you can use analogue controls which makes the game more playable. Although it looks and sounds great, the physics just messes up the immersion.

200 hand-crafted Mazes
The 200 playfully designed mazes in Marks Magnificent Marble Maze offer exciting puzzles and hours of fun.
Five atmospheric Environments

Each of the five environments invokes a sense of calmness, be it through the gentle sound of rain in the night, the rippling waves at the lake shore, the crackling fire, the gentle shaking of a train or the quiet static of an old TV.
Steam Deck™ Support
Mark's Magnificent Marble Maze supports the Steam Deck™ including Gyro controls so you can play your mazes anywhere you go. The game provides two dedicated 60FPS graphics profiles, one for better graphics and the other for longer battery life. When using the "The Void" environment, the Steam Deck™ will draw as little as 10W on medium brightness, giving you hours of game play.
Tilt Five™ Support

Control the mazes by tilting your Tilt Five™ Wand and experience Marks Magnificent Marble Maze using the Tilt Five™ Glasses. Explore the beautifully rendered environments from new angles and play the game in holographic 3d.

User Reviews
This game could be great and all, I specifically bought it for the Steam Deck. But after about 15 minutes into the game the difficulty automatically changes to 100000000000000000. Definitely not the amount of difficulty I was looking for in this game. I'll try out the game again when/if they fix the balancing issues.
A lovely puzzle game with satisfying controls and comfy vibes to the MAX! I highly recommend sitting back, relaxing, and letting this cozy little game occupy an evening or two. Thank you Mark for creating such a nice lil' game that is truly-- Magnificent!
Wonderful game. It's visually amazing, sound is relaxing. The puzzles are challenging. I've only played just over an hour as of writing this and maybe completed 10% of the game when I look at the levels. Some of them are really creative as well. If you ever enjoyed a marble maze in life this game will bring back fun and fond memories like it has for me. Thank you for this honestly unique experience. I love this game so much.
Mark is just practicing. You can see in the game the attention to detail, care, and quality of polish. This is a refined product. Something VR needs more of. Look forward to seeing more work from Mark.
love it
A (mostly calming) atmospheric marble tilt game that took a little under 3 hours to beat. Game is a little glitchy here and there but totally playable. Lots of repeat levels with only slight differences. Difficulty is all over the place; easy as pie one level and then you're stuck for 10 minutes on some tricky mechanic the next. Would have loved to see more of the roller coaster features because that was the most fun for me. The physics held up but were a little inconsistent with the black ball mechanic. I don't know what the goals for this game are moving forward or if it's just a done deal, but I think it has a lot of promise if custom options or additional levels are made available. Overall, I recommend this game and think it's perfect when you want to play something that you can easily jump in and out of. Plus my name is also Mark, so that's a plus.
this game has potental to be a great demo of the steam deck gyro, but the lack of firsthand gyro support kills it. the gyro profile that is there is absolute garbage. dev needs to support gyro input directly.
Fantastic marble puzzle game. Favorite thing on Tilt Five. Really like how the disparate objects really make the stereo stick out. Additionally, love how a simple tactile concept is taken to a great puzzler.
A great marble maze game
