N : Highly Addictive Physics-Sim Platform Game

July 27, 2006 10:05 PM

N : Play as a ninja trapped in a world of well-meaning, inadvertantly homicidal robots. N has been described as reminiscent of lode runner — you're a little dude running around in a puzzle-y world inhabited by enemies. But in N, there's a twist: the ninja is driven not only by a thirst for gold, but also by a physics simulation. Death, which happens often, is quite animated.

A fine little platformer, but, alas, yes—we have N'd before.

This game could be posted every damn day, and I would not complain.

Chuckles, you count only three that failed to be deleted.

Well, I know I installed N somewhere, but running a search for "N" brings up a lot of results.

Doh!

Unfortunately, I don't think I have the tools to rectify that situation. Search engines won't index deleted posts, and I'm not prepared to load 54,000 pages..

Any suggestions?

Man, it's too early in the morning to try and click little N hyperlinks...

This game has eaten more of my time than any other game ever. Awesome game.

worth noting - the team that created N is working on a new game, so far titled TNG (the new game). almost no details available about it except that it wont be free. should be out by fall or winter.

Worth the double for the online flash version, so I can play at work. :)
