It is recommended that you play the HD version if at all possible.
Two versions are available. Version 1.7.3 was the last published version before the HD update. Version 1.5.2 has the old intro and world 1 songs (ripped off from Cocoron) and the original version of world 8 (which is still available in Eversion HD's Time Attack mode)
The original description for the game follows.

Credits: Zaratustra (game), Miroslav Malesevic (some of the music)
"deceptively awesome" - VGCats

Curious about the engine used for this game. I'm assuming it was something custom-made? Has it ever been made publicly available? Googling the name shown in-game returns almost no results, aside from a graphics ripper someone wrote for Eversion. The Ruby scripting seems interesting to me, having used Lua for many things in the past but not being the biggest fan of the language. Of course a simple game engine from 2008 is probably not all too useful today, and it's likely you may just not want to release it (fair if so!), but I thought I'd ask if you have any more information on it?
custom made C++/SDL engine with Ruby scripting, yeah. It would probably not be worth the trouble of polishing it up for release.
No problem, thanks for responding. I use something similar with Lua myself. Out of curiosity, what did you use for the Ruby embedding? The only option I know of for that is mruby, but I'm not sure that was around back in the day.
You can also buy the HD version from Humble as a DRM-free download, I recommend that over dealing with launchers.

oh right so that's why they keep asking me for my tax information
Welp, I hope you received the money from the gift Eversion I got back in Dec 2016 at the very least, lol. You can also publish Eversion HD here on itch.io if you want - I recommend it over Humble.
BTW, thanks for making Eversion live rent-free in my head since 2016!
I've been trying to find the "ohh dear" track and can't. Is the ost uploaded anywhere?
I'm glad I remembered the name of this game, I thought I'd be unable to find it again.
Glad to see this indie classic's back on the internet! I was wondering where it (and the site it was on) went.
oh wow, talk about a blast from the past!!! I found this page back when you had put up dordle, somehow I never put two and two together!!!
Oh boy, the ORIGINAL! I still have these two versions.. Certainly worth it, but recommend the Steam release more- if only to support Zaratustra!
Will you also release the level editor this way?
hell, why not
it's in there now
