Marbler is puzzle version of Yosuke Ikeda's Algoloop. Oskar met Ikeda in Kanazawa 2019, where he performed his entertaining "Hello Goodbye" show. Ikeda's Algoloop is a mesmerizing piece of hand-operated moving-marble kinetic art. It begged to be turned into a puzzle, which is what Oskar did. He decoupled the four circles and gave each a spring for simple push-based operation. He also reshaped the loops, to make the crossing of marbles at the crossing points more reliable. The puzzle is fun to play, but not very difficult.
