You could try to make a small break in the horizontal and vertical lines
to indicate the centered position.

Ok, but that's IMO a bits unfair, especially when the marble is in the
starting position but you still can not move it. IMO the time should
stop while the gameplay is stopped.

What I meant, was a little indicator that shows you the coarse layout of
the next section, e.g. by using a player graphic at the bottom. A short
pause might be a good idea too, but when your marble is too fast, it
won't help much.

When the marble falls off the edge, it should move fast completely of
the board and then (if possible) fall down or disappear somehow.

Hm, it seems that the movement is reversed on that screen when using
z26. Is that intentional?
Have fun!
