Ninja fights robots in new puzzler, N+

by Andrew Yoon { May 22nd 2007 at 12:20PM }

Atari and Silver Birch have announced a new PSP puzzler today. An extension of a popular Flash game, N+ has players in a 2D world, controlling a ninja that must avoid "well-meaning, yet homicidal robots." N+ will feature over 500 levels, and 50 user-created levels from prominent fans of the original.

For a taste of things to come, check out the original PC demo here. It's simple and fun -- ideal attributes for a handheld game, no?

It looks nice and all, but I dont think it will even be worth paying 19.99 for.

Maybe a bit to simple :?

Looks like the PSP browser could play this. They could sell it as an online game.

oh no you guys have to try the PC version of it. i remember playing it for hours on end last year.

it is simple, yet challenging. you can run up walls, hop around, collecting as many gold things as you can. some of the levels are tricky, some are really easy, but they are all fun.

you can goof off for ages too. its really really fun. simple, yet intuitive. i would spend 20 bucks. hell i would spend 40 bucks if they madee the controls well and included some extra stuff.

though i mean the controls consist of arrows for moving and a jump button, so i dont think you can really fuck that up much. but if they pull it off and make it fun, im deffinatly going to buy it.

wow, i found and played that game just a few weeks ago by pure chance. considering i hardly play any flash games, that the one i picked should now be here is either deja-vuiness or nowaythatza coincidence.

Yeah, this game rocks. If it's budget priced I'll buy it. It's perfect for a portable game, especially if it keeps the short load times of the original Flash version.

There's some misinformation in this article that I've just got to clear up. :)

Atari and Silverbirch are producing N+ for PSP, and also DS. Woohoo! Both are scheduled to be released later this year.

Also, we have not confirmed how many levels there will be in any version of N+, and also have not confirmed any user-created levels. The stats related above sound much more like they belong to N v1.4 for PC, not N+.
