The main play of ''Neverball'' is based on the tilt of the level, not directly controlling the ball. By using your mouse, keyboard, or joystick, you tilt the level to direct the ball to the goal. Moving platforms and more crazy objects get in your way. To clear each level, you must get the required amount of coins. Coins come in three different colors: yellow, red and blue. Yellow coins are worth 1 coin, red coins are worth 5 coins, and blue coins are worth 10 coins. Get 100 coins to get an extra life. |
|
|
The current release of ''Neverball'' (1.4.0) contains 3 level sets, each level set containing 25 levels. The first one is easy and perfect for beginner levels, and the other two are a bit harder. There are also additional level sets you can download, which are available at the Neverforum. |
|
|
|
|
|
''Neverball'' also features other challenges such as collecting as many coins as you can within the time limit, or just to see how quickly you can finish the level. High scores to be beaten are available for each and every level. |

Three camera modes are available at the press of a button. Pressing F1 switches to the Chase Camera, which follows your ball closely. Pressing F2 switches to the Lazy Camera, which is the same as the Chase Camera, but slower. Pressing F3 switches to Manual Camera, in which the camera will only rotate when you press the specific buttons for it. |
|
|
|
|
|
''Neverball'' also features a replay recording system, which lets you record a tiny movie of your gameplay in any level you would like to record. Recording begins automatically when you start playing the level. The replay option is available when you have just beaten a level, or when you get a fall out. Currently, you can save up to 64 replays. |
|
|
|
|
|
''Neverball'' also allows you to create your very own levels with ], the level creation program for popular games such as ''Quake''. |
|
|
|
|
|
''Neverball'' has relatively high system requirements for smooth play, but it is possible to lower the resolution, the graphics and sound compression to get ''Neverball'' running faster. You should have a processor that runs at least 1000 MHz, and a good graphics card (such as GeForce 2) for good gameplay. |
