Oh wow, looks like someone uploaded a 2:55 yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6yExxPR1vI
Wow, learning that people are sharing speedruns on YouTube totally made my day!

Thank you so much. This is a great game for my 6yo, it made his day! He loved it. We spent months looking for web games for 6yo without ads, dark patterns and distracting details, but this was the first one that really fit. I wish there would be more similar games.
It's wonderful to know that your child enjoyed our little game. Thanks so much for sharing that with us!

That’s incredible!!
Btw, how did you started making a creative tech studio? That’s something I want to do but I’m kinda lost on the selling part. How do you sell to a business that earned media is worth it?
Thanks so much! With a bit of luck and talking to the right people at the right time, we got our start when Mozilla gave us the opportunity to create technical demos for the release of Firefox 4 back in 2010. Among other demos, we created a game called Mozilla BrowserQuest at the time, which really set us on the path to working on creative, tech-driven projects through word-of-mouth. These days, most of our clients are already excited about creating campaigns that can spark conversations and generate organic sharing, so we don’t usually need to sell them on the concept—they come to us because they already believe in its potential.

Wow, this is nice. I don't know, but is it possible for us to study code for this? I would love to see how all of this is built.
I can understand you might have commercial obligation, so hoping Netlify can make this public :)
Thanks! Sorry there's currently no plan to make it open source at the moment.

Great implementation, very enjoyable. Any chance that you will use this foundation to make an actual game (I mean, challenging, with scores/time/etc., and without the marketing component)?
I have always missed a worthy sucessor to Marble Madness. I have tried several partial implementations or demos inspired on it, like this, but never an actual full game with the same philosophy (maybe there's some I'm missing, in which case I would like to know, of course).
Thanks. There's no current plan to turn this into an actual game but I agree it would neat.

> Unity WebGL is not supported on mobile.
Hmm... Unity WebGL has worked correctly on Mobile Safari since 2013. Support has probably been flawless since around 2019. It has been supported in all the ways that matter for a long time.
I should have said that it's not officially supported. For client work, we prefer not to choose an engine that may not work on a few devices and which we have no ability to fix.
Kudos on a great game! If you ever expand or open source this, let me know. The mechanics and design are great and could really blossom into something fun and expansive (especially if users could submit levels).
