Tilt the floor to roll a ball through an obstacle course before the time
runs out: collect coins to open the goal, use switches, teleporters and
moving platforms. Neverball is part puzzle game, part action game and
entirely a test of skill.

players, built on the physics and graphics of Neverball.

MORPHOS PORT
------------
- version 1.6.0, Neverputt included
- OpenGL functions taken straight from TinyGL (SDL could not give the
ARB entry points, the game froze with an empty window)
- vertex buffers emulated in memory, like the 2025 test port
- goal and jump stars drawn as camera facing quads (TinyGL has no point
sprites), beam colour fixed
- real 800x600 full screen screen (Alt + Return), window by default
- d-pad of the gamepad works like the stick
- shadows and mipmaps off by default for speed, reflections on
- clean quit
