You control a ninja in minimalist sci-fi levels, using momentum-based running and jumping to cross obstacles and avoid hostile robots. Each course is a compact platforming challenge built around precise movement.
Find a route to the exit, activating switches where needed and collecting gold to add time. You can also return to levels for the tougher challenge of collecting every piece of gold.
Thousands of handcrafted levels are arranged into episodes and challenges, with secrets, a Hardcore mode, and unlockable color palettes. A level editor lets you create and share courses; local co-op and competitive modes support up to four players.
Players often praise the momentum-based movement, describing its simple controls as rewarding to learn and master. The large supply of levels and demanding precision challenges are also recurring draws, along with the electronic soundtrack and minimalist presentation. Some reviewers find the difficulty or all-gold challenges frustrating, and others criticize uneven level design or technical and interface problems.
N++ is a fast-paced, momentum-based platformer about darting around obstacles, narrowly evading enemies and collecting gold in a beautiful minimalist landscape. It’s the first N game on PC since 2004 and we’ve spent those 12 years perfecting the platformer.
N++ is all about using your momentum to complete levels and get high scores, but in this sci-fi world, there’s a slew of inadvertently homicidal enemy robots trying to prevent you from completing your goal.
Through the hand-crafted (NOT procedurally generated) levels, you’ll experience platforming at its most intense. Using only your fluid movement, you need to ‘solve’ each level and get to the exit.
In addition to the lengthy and challenging single player campaign, we’ve packed a ton of features into this one last entry in the N series including:
-4,690 hand-made levels
-Custom Levels, Level Editor & Global Level Sharing
-Leaderboards and replays for every level (even the ones you make)
-Local Co-op Mode (up to 4 players)
-Local Competitive Mode (up to 4 Players)
-Hardcore Mode, an intense single-player challenge which only the best ninjas will survive
-Intense, hidden Secret challenges to discover
-63 tracks by top electronic artists
-125 different color palettes let you customize the game’s look and keep it fresh every time you play
-and more!
Play a little, or a lot -- there's no skill ceiling, so you can always get better and better. N++ is a game that has enough bite-sized gameplay to last you a lifetime.
