==Gameplay== |
|
|
The main gameplay of ''Neverball'' is based on moving a ball using gravity by tilting the game world, not directly controlling the ball<ref name="linuxcom">{{Cite web|url = http://www.linux.com/feature/51239|title = Open source software and games|first= Alessandro last=Giusti|work = ]|publisher = ]|date = 2006-01-30|accessdate = 2009-03-08}}</ref> (it is somewhat similar to the game ] without the holes in the middle). The level must be tilted to help guide the ball to a goal, via an obstacle course, with a set time limit. Moving platforms and other objects get in the way, making levels progressively harder. |
|
|
] |
|
|
Several camera modes are available to help the player guide the ball, including chase camera, allowing the player to move along with the ball, and a manual camera, allowing the player to move the camera around, unhindered. |

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, each having the values one, five, and ten, respectively. Collecting 100 coins in "Challenge Mode" gains an extra life. |
