Never Ball


For my first post, let me introduce you to a free game called NEVERBALL.  It is cute game where you control the ball to gain coins and ultimately reach the goal.  You will control the movement of the ball by moving the mouse in order for the floor to tilt to one side or to the other side.  You can also click the left mouse button to rotate the camera clockwise sideways or the right mouse button to rotate to the other way.  This game includes the following options:  Replay:  you can watch the moves you have made to finish a level; Help:  where you can find the game's objective, controls, mode and techniques; the Options where you can set the settings for the following:  turn the full screen option "on" or "off", resolution, where you can set the game's resolution to 11 screen options, other screen options such as textures, geometry, reflection, background and shadow to "on" or "off" mode and of course the sound and music volume.  It offers six (6) level difficulties and twenty (20) sublevels for each difficulties.
Neverball comes with an additional miniature golf companion game using the same physics, called Neverputt which comes with 3 course packs ranging from Easy to Hard. The 1.4.0 release of Neverball removed the ability to play Neverputt holes as levels inside Neverball.
NEVERBALL and NEVERPUTT can be installed and played on LINUX (tar.gz) (see "LINUX" page of this blog on how to play .exe installer on LINUX), WINDOWS (.exe) and MAC OSX (.dmg)

If ever you will install and play this game, please feel free to leave your comments below.  Thanks.

NEVERBALL on WIKIPEDIA:
The main gameplay of Neverball is based on moving a ball using gravity by tilting the game world, not directly controlling the ball (it is somewhat similar to the game Labyrinth without the holes in the middle). The mouse (or a similar pointing device), 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 other crazy objects get in the way, making levels progressively harder. 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, red are worth 5 and blue are worth 10 coins or points. Collecting 100 coins in "Challenge Mode" gains an extra life.
