The music is really neat too - different for every screen; style is "new music" synthesizer type stuff. I got past the green acid blobs -- you wait at the top of that first little hill until they "part" for you, then zip across to the next little hill. Sometimes (not always, i don't know why) a magic wand appears and taps you, giving you about ten extra seconds at that point. I couldn't figure out how to go on the 4th level -- there seemed to be no path for my marble. Somebody knows, though -- there were some scores over 80000 on the machine i saw in Ledgewood.
