Gameplay
Gameplay
Never Give Up is divided into different worlds each containing different levels leading up to a boss battle. The levels consist of several versions of the same basic room layout, increasing in difficult as the player progresses through them by adding additional hazards and lengthening the level. After dying enough times within a level, players can skip past it by selecting a "give up" option.
Reception
Never Give Up was received generally well by critics. It was praised for its difficulty and the satisfaction of overcoming its challenges, although critics noted its lack of originality and its tendency to be outdated.
