Neverball is a new game from Lazrhog for the iPhone and iPod Touch that takes advantage of the amazing accelerometer found in thee devices. It has been ported to the iPhone by Lazrhog, who also brought us NOIZ2SA, rRootage and iZoo.
Gameplay is simple and fun. You tilt the iPhone/Touch to roll a ball through an obstacle course and collect coins before you run out of time. Neverball is part puzzle game, part action game, and entirely a test of skill and allot of fun. It also remarkably looks like an all too familiar face that will be showing up on the AppStore soon. (Super Monkey Ball by Sega for the iPhone)
Here is a video of actual game play posted by Lazrhog on YouTube.
Here is a little more info from the good folks over at Apple iPhone School:
“Some of the important points are that you can change the view of the game, while playing, by tapping in the Top Left for Chase View, Top Middle for Lazy View and Top Right for Manual View. You can also rotate the camera by tapping in the lower left or lower right of the iPhone screen. The Replay option will display a list of the replays you have saved. Just select the replay you would like to watch. When it is finished, you have the option to Keep or Delete the replay.
The Play option will bring you into the game where you can then choose Neverball Easy, Neverball Hard or Mehdi’s Levels. Each of these options will have a list of the available levels, Best Times and Most Coins. On the right, you can see a screenshot of each level by tapping on the level number. You can select a level by tapping on it again. Once you have won/lost, you will get a screen displaying the number of coins you received, your score, number of balls, Best Times and Most Coins. You also have the ability to go to the next level, retry that level and save a replay.
I will say that it takes a little bit of time and practice to get used to the controls on this game. I found that it can be difficult to change the views (Chase, Lazy, Manual) while in the game…it gets a little glitchy. Every 5th time you open the application, you will get a pop-up asking you to make a donation. You will need to select the Ok button in order to open the application again. If you select Not Today, it will close the app. Overall, Lazrhog has done an great job of porting this app! You can get Neverball through the ModMyiFone source.”
You can find this app out on Installer on your iPhone via the ModMyiFone source: http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml
Update: After installing, it may be my iPhone or an app (vWallpaper or maybe VideosTone) that are hindering my ability to easily select the menu options, but once you get it started the game play is awesome, this will be a HUGE success. It’s lacking sound, and thats one let down. More to come soon.
