N

[eMTe]

I think I'll copy whole underdogs review instead of torturing you with my crappy English...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best platformers you'll ever come across, N is a great freeware game from Metanet that boasts excellent real-world physics - something we don't normally see in 2D sidescrollers. The plot: as a ninja trapped underground, you must escape with your life by getting to the exit on each level while avoiding a horde of homicidal robots.

Created entirely in Macromedia Flash, N sports minimalist yet very effective graphics, smooth and realistic movements, and excellent implementation of real-world physics including collision detection and gravity. The game is very difficult, though: there are hidden traps, and you have to constantly replenish "gold energy" to survive. In many levels, you need to climb walls and flip switches at the right moment. Like a real-life ninja, acrobatic feats and deft fingers are crucial to beating the game. To make things even more challenging, the robots seem to get more dangerous and smarter the more you play. Fortunately, elegant physics and fun level designs will keep you glued to the screen even if you curse the designers for making such an impossible game

Last but not least, the game includes extensive in-game help and a built-in level editor. With 150 levels organized into 30 unlockable 'episodes,' the official release will keep you occupied for days, if not months. The latest version also now saves your progress as you play, making it much more appealing to beginners (including yours truly) who got far too frustrated with the first release. If you are looking for a charming, innovative, and very challenging platformers, look no further than this modern-day classic. Two thumbs up, way up!

I would write everything what is written above if I only could... I played it and it's a great game, worth a couple of sleepless nights.

The game looks fun, and I downloaded it and tried it, but I can't even do the first level.. Any hints.. I got some of the "dots"
I think I lack the meaning of the game ? You are supposed to get all the yellow "dots" and then go to the door ? Or am I totally wrong here ?
Anyways.. In the first level.. How are you supposed to get those in the top left corner ? I have spent 1 hour now, and I am just incapable of getting them.. Any help appreciated

FogToo-san, don't worry; you don't have to get any of the gold to complete the level. Every gold piece collected only adds five seconds to the ninja's lifetime, and in some longer/trickier levels the time is of the essence. The only thing you basically need to do, however, is to first reach the switch opening the exit and after that the exit itself. ^_^

Oh yes, I've played the game quite a lot; trifu-san introduced it to me last summer. I've not been able to complete even half of the episodes, though. Very difficult it can get in the later stages. v_v

smart
Finally figured out what the game was about thanks

[Chillum]

The way to get the gold in the top left corner, is by doing walljump.. You just jump into the wall and jump up and up and up each time you hit the wall.. Needs a little practice, but its very usefull later on..

I just realized that there is a Mac version of this game too. Have to remember to add this when add-file is fixed. Please remind me if I forget.
