About the Game

Carnaval Marbles fuses a systemic roguelike with French billiards. In a dark-fantasy carnival world, every shot counts: positioning, rebounds, and the synergies between your Talismans, Marble Bonuses, and Runes turn a simple game of billiards into a true combinatorial engine. No two runs are ever the same.

Key features

  • A unique gameplay loop: hijack French billiards with hundreds of Talismans, Bonuses, and Runes to build infinite synergies.

  • A deep roguelike: every run is different; craft your strategy and face Bosses that can rewrite the rules mid-run.

  • One playable character (8 in the final version): perfect to discover the game’s core mechanics.

  • A striking universe: dark fantasy inspired by European folklore and old carnivals, blending anachronisms and mythology.

  • Accessibility + depth: easy to learn thanks to a clear UI and integrated tutorials, yet designed so expert players can “break the game” with ruthless builds.

  • Endless replayability: after defeating all Bosses, Endless Mode lets you keep pushing your limits.

A systemic approach
Carnaval Marbles follows in the footsteps of games like Balatro, where simple core rules hide dizzying combinatorial depth. Here, trajectory is your language: every shot can upend the run.
Ready your Talismans. Line up your marbles. The demo is only a taste—the carnival has just begun.
