N++ is a fantastic followup to the classic and difficult ninja platformer, with stylish visuals, a great electronic/techno soundtrack, and more levels than I know what to do with. Sadly, I'm not hardcore enough of a platformer genius to clear every last one of them. If you're into this kind of really challenging, streamlined platforming, you'll probably have a blast with this one.
Extremely solid! The platforming has a beautiful flow and weight to it and there's more than enough content here to keep you busy, but the levels aren't very good beyond being well designed one-room challenges. I feel like it isn't supposed to be more than that, but I prefer my platforming levels to have memorable designs, set-pieces, and aesthetics
I needed a while to get used and enjoy the momentum-based platforming. But once I did, N++ became a really enjoyable platformer unlike any other game in the genre. Momentum is really what this game is all about, and once you master the mechanics, moving around each level at lightning speed feels amazing.
The game feels a tad too long though. I completed everything including the X-rows in solo and legacy, which amounted to roughly 1435 levels (including some coop and race required for the platinum trophy) and by the time I was done I felt a bit exhausted.

This is a perfect platformer for me. Incredibly tight controls, an insane amount of content (a lot of it secret!), and awesome soundtrack. There is no story and the graphics are incredibly basic, but there's no need for that here - you're just a ninja trying to collect some gold and get to the exit.
Hours played: 259
Platinumed?: nope, have some Race/Co-op episodes to get through and some miscellaneous trophies
100%?: nope, I'm maybe 50% through the game?

around when this game launched the level editor had a bug that would wipe your entire save randomly. i emailed the devs about it and they sent me some pins and stickers and shit as an apology so theyre pretty much the nicest best video game developers i know. outside that i really like the game. amazing music and i adore the whole visual package this thing offers.
