Throwback Thursday: Thursday, January 9th, 2025 Season Marbles: Winter (PC) - $9.99 $4.99 Season Marbles: Winter is a compelling PC puzzle game that combines strategic thinking and quick decision-making with a tranquil winter theme. Players must clear colorful marbles from a series of complicated boards by matching groupings of three or more.

Marbles must be deliberately placed or switched to form matches, and some boards incorporate obstacles such as frozen marbles or barricades, which adds another element of complexity. Each level has specific goals, such as removing a certain amount of marbles, breaking through ice blocks, or obtaining a target score in a set number of moves. As the game progresses, new difficulties and power-ups emerge, such as explosive marbles and special tiles that can clear entire areas of the board. These components keep games fresh and engaging, pushing players to try out alternative methods. Features: - Winter-Themed Visuals: Features beautifully rendered snowy landscapes, frosty animations, and a cool color palette that evoke a serene winter atmosphere. - Unique Match-3 Mechanics: Players clear marbles by creating groups of three or more, with gameplay mechanics that emphasize strategic planning
