[PC] [EXE/VIDEO GAME] [2008-2012] marble-shooter (Zuma/Luxor-like) game

Details I remember:

  • The launcher/shooter was at the bottom of the screen, and the marbles moved above it, with the camera/background scrolling vertically (felt like flying/accelerating upward).
  • The launcher platform itself had angel-like wings , it visually flapped like it was flying.
  • The background was mostly green and very colorful/vibrant.
  • The art style was beautiful, hand-painted/hand-drawn for the teen exist in it, with a fantasy/medieval feel — almost like an anime style with elves, that kind of aesthetic.
  • There was a separate hero character (not the launcher itself) — a young man wearing silver armor — who would periodically pop up from the side of the screen (left or right) during gameplay, like a hand-drawn illustration, and "talk" to you (motivational/encouraging messages).
  • As you progressed through the game (mid-game, not just level-to-level), this character's armor would change color from silver to gold, as some kind of progress/achievement indicator.
  • There were also abilities/upgrades that strengthened your launcher platform.
  • I'm fairly confident it's NOT: Sky Kingdoms, DragonStone, Luxor (any version), Sparkle, Mythic Pearls, Marble Duel, Charma, Bengal Game of Gods, or Quadrium — I've already ruled these out.
  • Likely a smaller/indie studio, not a big-name developer.

Any help identifying this game would be hugely appreciated!
