# Marble Descent

一款靈感來自 Marble Madness 的瀏覽器彈珠滾動遊戲：傾斜手機（或在桌機使用方向鍵）讓彈珠沿著賽道滾動。

## Description

Marble Descent 是一款小型瀏覽器遊戲，向 1984 年街機遊戲 Marble Madness 致敬。你透過傾斜手機來操控彈珠沿著賽道前進，就像木製迷宮玩具那樣；在電腦上，方向鍵也能達成同樣的效果。開發者用 Claude 將同一個原型做了兩次，一次是根據一份長篇的多代理簡報，另一次是根據五句話的提示詞；README 涵蓋了這兩種建置版本；可遊玩版本放在 GitHub Pages 上。

## Original post

A tilt-to-roll phone game inspired by Marble Madness, built twice with Claude. The case study compares a multi-agent build with a five-sentence prompt, and the short prompt won.

# An ode to Marble Madness, twice I built the same mobile game prototype twice with Claude. The first time, I had a long brief for Opus 4.8, four AI subagents, a design concept board, and an afternoon to spend. The second time, I prompted Opus 5.5 with a short paragraph, five sentences really. The short paragraph won, and it wasn't even close. This is a story about both builds: how each one was made, what came out of it, and why less turned out to be more. - Play V1: [1beebe.github.io/marble-madness-ode](https://1beebe.github.io/marble-madness-ode/) ([repo](https://github.com/1beebe/marble-madness-ode)) - Play V2: [1beebe.github.io/marble-descent](https://1beebe.github.io/marble-descent/) ([repo](https://github.com/1beebe/marble-descent)) Both are meant for a phone. Tilt your phone and the marble rolls. On a computer, use arrow keys. ## The idea [Marble Madness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Madness) came out in 1984, and it's one of the first video games I remember playing, on my parents' computer. You steered a marble down a course of isometric platforms while a clock ran down and tried to avoid rolling to your demise. Earlier this year, I built [Shake](https://shake.madewithremy.com/) with Remy, an app that skips to the next song when you shake your phone. And ever since I'd been wondering what other gestures a phone could turn into play. Tilting your phone seemed like the natural next one. So, I set out to build an ode to Marble Madness with tilt controls, the way you tip a wooden labyrinth toy to get the ball past the holes. ## What started V2 On October 7, Boris Cherny posted a prompt on X. He had asked Claude for a Lode Runner clone in a single run-on sentence, so he would have something to play on a plane. Claude built him a game called Night Vault. ![Boris Cherny's tweet: "Build me a phone based lode runner clone that I can play on my phone on the airplane for the next couple of hours." Claude built Night Vault, a 12-vault game.](images/boris-lode-runner-prompt.png) I looked at that one sentence, then thought to myself, "Hm, I wonder what would happen if I tried to build my tilt-control version of Marble Madness using a real simple Boris-style prompt." ## Part 1: two approaches ### V1: the long brief and the subagents Opus 4.8, September 6, 2026. Claude chat first, then Claude Code. Here is everything I did, in order. It's a long list! 1. Thought out loud in Claude chat about whether a web page can even read a phone's tilt. (It can. A MacBook can't.) 2. Asked Claude to use my local subagent skill, modeled on MindStudio's Remy: one main agent handing tasks to specialist subagents. Chat couldn't reach it. 3. Asked chat to write a brief I could hand to Claude Code instead. It wrote about 400 words. 4. Pasted the brief into Claude Code. 5. Watched Remy send four design subagents off at once, each with its own art direction: neon arcade, soft clay, cut paper, and engineering blueprint. All four came back in about 70 seconds. 6. Had Cla
