How to Play Marble Maze - Step by Step
The Marble Maze page runs a 3D WebGL marble puzzle in a same-origin iframe. Click Play, tilt-steer the ball through a procedural maze to the exit, then a bigger maze generates for the next level.
Step 1 - open the page
The launch panel, Play button, and status line render immediately. The game iframe does not load until you click Play.
Step 2 - click Play
Play injects the iframe at /games/marble-maze/. The WebGL field shows a lit 3D maze and a rolling ball. Total payload is about 1.7 MB (engine, physics, three textures).
Step 3 - tilt-steer the ball
Hold left/right/up/down (or h/j/k/l) to roll. Release to coast and slow down. There is no mouse, touch, or gamepad steering.
Step 4 - find the exit and level up
Reach the exit to complete the level. A fade transition plays, then a new maze generates two cells larger (dimension starts at 11 and grows by 2). The Level N HUD updates in the top-left.
Step 5 - instructions and limits
Hold I to show or hide the instructions panel without pausing. No save, sound, or accounts - closing the tab resets to level 1. Mazes grow forever; there is no final win screen.
