    Can't figure out how to set the power gauge for shots.

    Thanks for your reply. The shooting speed simply depends on how fast (speed, not distance) you swipe your finger on the screen. Because I'm using the accelerometer as an addition, you may try swing the phone too, though not recommended. ;)

    It's a motion-sensing game so there's no visible power gauge, play it as you'll do in the real world.

    Thanks! Are you planning to add the option of playing this in non-AR mode?

    Currently, no plan. But I'm open to suggestions.

    I recommend that you provide the option of non-AR. I can think of many scenarios that are less than ideal for playing in AR. Also, despite the fact that lots of people have enjoyed playing real-world marbles and would welcome the opportunity to play it on a mobile device, I'm not aware of another traditional marbles game in the App Store (something I've been hoping would come along one day) -- so you would maximize the size of your user market by enabling two modes of gameplay should you decide to charge for this game. From what I've seen so far while playing a bit this evening, your game will certainly be worth paying for.

    That's very encouraging! Thanks a lot! I'm working on an Android version. I'll try the non-AR design after it's finished.
