In Neverball Wii, players tilt the floor to guide a ball through an obstacle course within a set time limit. If the ball falls or the time expires, the player loses a ball. Players can collect coins to unlock the exit and earn extra balls. Red coins are worth 5 points, while blue coins are worth 10 points. Collecting 100 coins awards the player an extra ball.
It is a work in progress port of Neverball to the Nintendo Wii, currently the game has glitches and poor frame rate, but the developer is working to improve it.
Installing
To run, create an /apps/neverball folder on an SD card and copy boot.dol, dist/wii-hbc/meta.xml, dist/wii-hbc/icon.png, and the data/ directory to the /apps/neverball folder on the SD card. It can be launched from the Homebrew Channel on a homebrew-enabled Wii.
