In this game, you control one marble, trying to get dollars and prevent the computer-controlled marble from getting dollars. You also try to avoid falling in the pits or touching the killer marbles on level 2. You control the marble using the arrow keys, numeric keypad, and mouse. More detailed instructions are within the game itself.
This game is FREEWARE. All you have to do to become a registered user is to send me your name. (Easy,no?) I would also appreciate whatever advice, comments, requests, or etc. you have. If you see something the game should do, or could do better, tell me. Because let's face it- Crunch! 2.0 isn't perfect, even if it is much more polished than 1.0.

750K Will run, but just barely
As a final note, thank you to everyone who sent input. Almost all of it was very helpful, and many of your suggestions, you'll note, made it into the final game. You can't believe how good it feels to get a complimentary letter about something you worked on.
Good luck, enjoy CRUNCH, and if you want to see more decent software like this, send comments, love notes, demands, anything.
Peace,

If you hate Crunch!, you'll despise The SSC Adventure by Jeff Newman, Ryan Baker, and Andy Moya, an educational game comissioned by the now-defunct SuperConducting Super Collider Laboratory. It teaches a few basic principles of Physics and Magnetism. It's targeted towards Junior High and High School students, but it enjoyable for all ages.
