Plumb is out on Google Play

Plumb, the calm marble puzzle where one tilt moves every marble at once, is live on Google Play. What's in it, and where to start.

Five real Plumb boards climbing like a staircase, each bigger and fuller than the one before, on warm paper

Plumb is now live on Google Play. It is the game I started first, and the one the others learned from.

What Plumb is

Swipe to tilt the board, and every marble rolls at once, until a wall, the edge or another marble stops it. A marble drops into a hole of its own colour the moment it rolls over one. Square pits swallow any marble, so plan the route before you tip.

One gesture moves everything, which is what makes four directions so deep. Every move is a small chain of consequences to read before you make it.

What’s in it

  • Every level has a solution, scored against the fewest moves possible, and none is easier than the one before.
  • Chapters that each add a new rule: gates, portals, springs, magnets, glass and more.
  • Three stars for the fewest moves, and a hint that shows where every marble would land.
  • Undo and restart any time. No timers, no lives, no energy.
  • Colour themes and marble sets, each in light and dark. Glass marbles and the Sepia colours come free.
  • Every win makes a card you can share or save.
  • It plays fully offline.

Plumb's Marbles sheet: Classic and Glass, which are free, and the Marble pack's gems, planets, candy, pearls and yarn

The Marble pack adds five more sets: gems, planets, candy, pearls and yarn. You can try it for a few hours before you buy it.

Where to start

The first level teaches you with a short guide, one tilt at a time. If you like to read first, Learn Plumb in one board walks through it, and Read the roll has the habits that make the later boards easier.

Free to play

Plumb is free. Once you have solved a few levels, a small banner sits below the board, never over it. The first 15 levels have unlimited hints, and after that you get 3 free hints a day. The Supporter pack turns the ads off for good and makes every hint free.

Tell me what you think

If Plumb makes you think, a rating on Google Play helps other players find it. Stuck on a bug, or a level that feels wrong? The support page is the quickest way to tell me.
