FAQ
Neverball is a test of skill where your objective is to guide a ball through challenging levels:
- Tilt the floor to roll the ball through the level
- Collect coins to increase your score and unlock new levels
- Reach the goal (usually marked by a checkered flag or exit portal) before time runs out
- Avoid falling off edges or into hazards that will cost you a life
- Complete levels as quickly as possible for high scores and time bonuses
- Progress through increasingly difficult levels featuring new obstacles and challenges
Each level presents a unique challenge requiring precise control and careful planning. Some levels focus on speed, while others demand careful navigation of precarious paths. Learning the physics of how the ball moves and bounces is key to mastering the game!

What's the best strategy for difficult levels?
Take your time and plan your route. Sometimes it's better to move slowly and maintain control than to rush and fall off. Use the camera controls to get a better view of obstacles ahead. For particularly challenging jumps or narrow paths, try to approach with moderate speed and make small, precise adjustments to the tilt angle rather than large movements.
Do I need to collect all coins to complete a level?
No, you don't need to collect all coins to complete most levels. However, collecting coins increases your score and may unlock additional content. Some levels might require a minimum number of coins to activate the goal. If you're struggling with a difficult level, focus on reaching the goal first, then try again later to collect all coins.
The ball is moving too fast! How can I control it better?
If the ball is moving too quickly, try tilting the floor in the opposite direction to slow down. Use gentle, small movements rather than extreme tilts. Remember that momentum is important in Neverball - the ball will continue rolling even when the floor is level. If you're really struggling, try using keyboard controls with the Ctrl key pressed to reduce sensitivity.
Are there different game modes in Neverball?
Yes, Neverball typically includes several sets of levels with varying difficulties. The main mode challenges you to collect coins and reach the goal. Some versions also include a time trial mode where you race against the clock, and challenge modes with special restrictions. The full version of the game also includes Neverputt, a mini-golf game using the same physics engine.
