Hey, simplistic as it is, this is undeniably a great game!

Graphics: It took me a little bit to land on my score of 8. The backgrounds are rather detailed, and they did a great job of giving a 3-D look to a 2-D background. Sometimes there are interesting contraptions here and there.

Sound: Music is pretty good, actually. Other than that, there's not much to be said here. Good scraping sound effects.

Game Play: I was going to give it an 8 but bumped it down to a 7 once I thought about it. Sometimes physics can be your enemy. Bumping into something will often make it difficult to control you marble for a bit. In addition, watch out for those long drops.

Overall: It can be frustrating, but is mysteriously addictive. In response to Anonymous: Hey, guess what? I beat the game.

THERE'S GOLD IN THIS THAR ROM!

Graphics: How nice. 3D.

Sound: ""Thinking"" music. Truly for the intellectual mind.

Gameplay: Get from point A to point B.

Overall: I beat this game with great difficulty. It was one of the best I've ever played. Long story short: DOWNLOAD!

This is a rather cool game i think, when i first saw it i thought it would be pretty cheesy but its actualy fun. The music kinda gets to you after a while but it has a good sound track mostly thinking type music. Awsome 3d graphics for a nes game. A must play game. An yes i have beaten it. though i have not played the rom yet. 8 )

this is one of the best games ever made. however it is quite chalenging. you must do good on the earlier levels, giving you more time on the harder levels, and finnaly giving you time on the last level (if you can even get there). I have not beaten it myself, nor anyone i know. i have had this game for about 10 years and have tried playing about 300 t0 400 times.

WARNING: YOU WILL NOT BEAT THIS GAME
