Official site - LMarbles
- Atomix clone where you create figures out of marbles - LMarbles is an Atomix clone with a slight change in concept. Instead of assembling molecules you create figures out of marbles. Nevertheless, the basic game play is the same: If a marble starts to move it will not stop until it hits a wall or another marble. To make it more interesting there are obstacles like one-way streets, crumbling walls and portals. As Marbles is meant as a puzzle game you play against a move limit and not a time limit. This way you have as much time as you need to think.

For all you hard core gamers:
Some of you may be disappointed with the quality of games available for Linux. Waaah! 8^)
Take the money you save on buying a high-end WinDoze computer and buy a PS2 or XBox or whatever. Some of you are spending $1500+ on a gaming computer. Take that money and buy a nice big TV, PS2 and a whole bunch of games!
My oldest boy Dave, Jr. told me when he was up for Christmas that it's really kinda fun to just sit down and play pacman or some of the "old" classic games. There ya go. I have to agree!
