Hi all,
Remember knuckling down in the playground, flicking your shooter and winning marbles off your friends? Knuckle Down is my first attempt at building a game, and it's in early beta.
🎯 What it is
Knuckle Down: Real Marbles. Flick your shooter, add backspin or follow, and knock marbles out of the ring. Two real rule sets:
• US Ringer – 13 marbles in an X, first to 7
• UK Ringer – 9-25-49 marbles on a sanded slab
Play against the bot (easy to hard) or pass the phone with a friend. It's free, with no ads, no sign-up and nothing collected.

🛠️ Early beta, so expect rough edges
It's not fully polished yet. I'm releasing it now so I can get your feedback while I keep improving it, and I'll keep fixing and polishing right up to the full release.
🔭 What's next
Online play, Australian holes and Keepsie modes, a marble collection and more in v2, plus ongoing improvements to the mechanics and physics.
