Game Summary

Portzle is an "infinite roller" in which the player attempts to navigate a slew of obstacles by switching between two worlds via portals. The portals are mirrored in both environments, however, the obstacles are different, allowing players to strategically chart their own course through the levels.

Instructions

Goal: Navigate the marble to survive as long as possible. Avoid rocks, walls, and ledges and utilize portals to switch between worlds. Control the marble by tilting your device or by swiping your finger along the bottom of the screen.

Good Luck...
