The main gameplay of ''Neverball'' is based on moving a ball using gravity by tilting the game world, not directly controlling the ball. The mouse, keyboard, or joystick tilt the level to help guide the ball to a goal, via an obstacle course, with a set time limit. Moving platforms and more crazy objects get in the way, making levels even harder than they were before. To unlock the goal on each level, the player must collect a 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. Collecting 100 coins gains an extra life.
The current release of ''Neverball'' (1.4.0) contains 3 level sets, each level set containing 25 levels. The first level set is Easy and perfect for beginners, and the other two are for more expert players. There are also additional level sets you can download, which are available at the .

''Neverball'' also features other challenges such as collecting as many coins as possible within the time limit, or just to see how quickly you can finish a level. Easy, Medium and Hard high scores 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 quickly and 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 (default is left/right mouse buttons).

''Neverball'' also features a replay recording system, which records gameplay in any level. Recording begins automatically when the level begins. Replays can be saved when a level is cleared, or when the ball falls of the level. Currently, up to 64 replays can be saved.

''Neverball'' also allows the creation of levels with ], the level creation program for popular games such as ''Quake''. GtkRadiant currently has versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

''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 on more modest systems. A processor that runs at least 1000 MHz, and a good graphics card (such as GeForce 2) are recommended for fast running gameplay.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
    • Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.
  • With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
