Neverball.
By Robert Kooima
Neverball is a free, open-source skill and puzzle game led by Robert Kooima. You tilt the floor so a ball rolls through an obstacle course before the clock runs out, and coins open the exit and add extra balls. Desktop builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS also include Neverputt, a hot-seat miniature golf game. A browser version can be played without an install.
The F7 Insight
The tilt is the whole sport: the course stays still until you tip the world under the ball. For F7, Neverball is a small puzzle game that still ships a desktop set and a no-install browser build under a GPL grant that covers this course screenshot.
