Jelle's Marble League is based on the YouTube channel Jelle's Marble Runs, which has over 1.4 million subscribers as of June 2025 and a subset of deeply dedicated fans. The "Marble League" is one of the channel's flagship series and has occurred every year since 2016. This game features teams that fans have come to love and root for, complete with individually named athletes that have their own stories to follow.
The game is no longer sold on Steam, the iOS App Store, or the Google Play store, so having it available on GOG would be good for media preservation.
