> Tilt the floor to roll a ball through an obstacle course before time runs out. Neverball is part puzzle game, part action game, and entirely a test of skill.
Nice map/level tool!

- Xorg version is broken for me :( although you can play in browser.by doublerabbit
- Everybody must play Neverball at least once in their lives, it's a fantastic game I've come back to so many times throughout the years. I recommend using the arrow keys to control the ball and optionally the S and D keys to turn the camera, also if you go to the settings you can play as a globe or an eyeball.by toilet
