The hook

Mode shifts

The mountain is not the content. The mountain is the thing that keeps interrupting itself.

Three modes are built and playable. What is not built is the part that matters most: the director that smash-cuts you into one mid-roll, hands the marble across, takes a result back, and drops you into the level where you left off. Today each one launches on its own from a developer menu.

So this is three-quarters of the idea, working, with the join still missing.

Skeeball

Several alleys, physical targets, a limited supply of balls. Your marble was already the right shape for this.

stresses: camera, scoring and level shape A score, and the first mode meant to pay one back into a run.

Chomp

A maze, pellets, power pellets and four ghosts, with its own score, clock and music.

stresses: movement constraints Clear it or time out. Either way the maze ends and hands you back.

Mirror

The phone's front camera takes over. Your face drives it, and there is no marble to roll.

stresses: total input replacement Nothing yet. It is a toy, and it is honest about that.

Three exist. Skeeball and Chomp are the two release candidates; Mirror is undecided. What they are all waiting on is the same missing director.
