One thing about Marble It Up is that it can get sneaky on you at times. Each track is pretty unpredictable soo don’t be surprised if you don’t get the best score after one go. One of the pesky things they throw at you are the holes and gaps that make their presence known on certain levels.

Obviously, because of this, it’s highly important to use the jump button that should be on the right side of your screen in-game. Timing is key on these jumps and it’s to slip up and fall. And although you respawn after falling, it takes away precious time.

And on several occasions, you’ll see consecutive gaps and/or holes so you’ll be required to make some quick hops. Clearing jumps can be a huge help when trying to earn the highest medal. As long as you don’t have many hiccups after dealing with the holes, you’ll be on your way to a good score.

Speed control also plays a role in achieving success in Marble It Up. It’s easy to go full speed ahead as you zoom through the track like the speed demon that you are. But, that doesn’t mean slowing down is a bad thing. In fact, it can help you hit those sneaky turns and jumps.

Also, there are many times where you have to hop on platforms and by slowing your speed down a little bit, you’ll be jumping on them with ease. If you come in too hot, you’ll likely mistime your jumps causing you to ricochet off of the platform.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to go as fast as you can, but don’t hesitate the need to slow your pace briefly to help you with turns and jumps. Falling off a map by going to fast or bouncing off a platform will take a good chunk of time off so it doesn’t hurt to play it safe when needed.
