Despite its overall success, the game design has a few shortcomings. First, there is no ability to save games, so if you made it through a number of rounds and have to quit, you have to start all over again. Second, you can chose your starting game board only in practice mode or two-player mode, not in single player mode—this handicap is not only aesthetic, but also affects the availability of the special bonus marbles.
Third, it would have been nice and not very difficult if you could have chosen among several sets of marbles to play with, but instead you are always faced with the same ones. The graphics in the game are quite well done, given the game's requirements. A variety of textured backgrounds are available for the playing field, and the 3D multicolored marbles themselves are quite pretty. The special bonus marbles, which contain animations, are exquisite. The color choices and graphic design of the screens all seem very well thought out and nicely laid out.
Of course, the game's graphics pale by comparison to today's hottest games using bit color and 3D accelerator support, but more is not really needed here. The sound effects in Lose Your Marbles are truly outstanding -- flamboyant, boisterous and wacky -- and are perfectly suited to the flavor of the game. The music, however, is a mixed bag: I found myself so turned off by the tune played during the opening level that I manually switched it with one of the tunes for a later level.
All the music is quite original and well presented acoustically, but not all was as appealing as I'd hoped. The documentation for this game is even skimpier than what one now expects, with only a very brief CD-ROM jewel case manual containing a few black-and-white pictures. Of course, the nature of this game is so straightforward that you do not really need any more than that.
SegaSoft is to be congratulated for packaging Lose Your Marbles in the smallest box I have ever seen for retail game software -- if a CD case is all that's inside, why waste space and cardboard potentially deceiving consumers by putting it in a huge container? These are about as modest requirements as you can find in newly-released games. The entire game takes up less than 18 MB of hard disk space, which is smaller than many of the game demos around these days.
I really like Lose Your Marbles , and am glad SegaSoft chose to offer a simple, fun, and engaging animated puzzle game that breaks out of the mode of what is normally on the shelves. This game is the second in the company's series of inexpensive "Desktop Distractions" Web Vengeance was the first , and it is so addicting that it indeed is likely to stay on people's desktops and distract them a lot from their work.
Just as SegaSoft's earlier Obsidian in my view knocked Myst off its lofty perch, Lose Your Marbles despite its minor imperfections has a decent shot at replacing Tetris as the standard by which future action puzzles will be judged.
