MIBS io is a real-time multiplayer marble arena with physics-based flicking. Rounds last five minutes, and the basic idea is simple: hit rival marbles into holes and finish heavier than the rest.

How to play

Press anywhere, pull back and release to launch your marble. A longer pull gives a harder flick, so blasting every shot at full power is usually a good way to overshoot. In MIBS io, knocking another marble into a hole adds weight to yours, and heavier marbles hit harder. Recess is about being the heaviest when the bell rings, while Last Marble removes the second life and keeps shrinking the yard. King Hunt turns one player into the crown holder, Tag puts a single hole in the middle, and Duel is a best-of-three 1v1 mode with a ranked ladder.

There is also a solo side: 30 School Square levels, daily challenges and seasonal cosmetic rewards. It is handy for learning how much power each drag actually gives before trying to outplay real players.

Tips

• Pull farther back when you need a stronger flick
• Use the extra weight after scoring to push lighter rivals more easily
• In Last Marble watch the shrinking play area as carefully as the opponents
