I am glad somebody else has see this great game!  I spent about $2 before
getting dragged away.  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.
