N++ (NPLUSPLUS)

A platformer game with an excellent yet mostly intuitive movement system with a lot of depth and just the right amount of decision making in both what you do to get through a level and how you choose to execute the move. With a huge amount of built-in levels, you never have to worry about running out of content, and even if you beat them all, there are various challenges and bonus modes to run through them in (ranging from challenges like "Don't pick up any coins" or "toggle every toggle mine" to hardcore mode).

The developers have put so much stuff in that they've actually kept track of how many players have truly beaten every built in level on every challenge and gamemode, and they've discovered that only a few dozen people on earth have beaten the entire game )48 as of december of 2024). It's to the point that if you truly 100% "beat" this game in every mode and level and stuff, you can send the developers an email with proof and they will print and create a physical certificate that they sign and mail to your house. What kind of other game actually gets you an IRL certificate for completion?????

On top of this, the game has all kinds of alternative modes of play. On top of standard solo play and the aforementioned "hardcore mode", it also has a local coop mode and a local multiplayer race mode, with room for up to 2 and 4 players respectively, and it has a custom level editor with many user-submitted custom levels that you can play.

Trust me, as simple as this game looks on the surface, there's a lot hiding underneath.

jump and collect very fun

I really should have been doing homework for the last two hours....

N pluh pluh

Start the game at 4PM
Play for 5 minutes
Now it's 9PM

fucking insanity

One of the greatest platformers of all time!

Back in the late 2000's, I used to finish my computer lab school work super fast because education in the US is unfortunately way too easy, and I would always play "The N Game" on the web browser with the extra class time. It was the best browser based game on the internet back when browser based games were cool and now I'm super happy to have this version to play on my Steam Deck.

It's the perfect game to pick up if you only have a few minutes to play and it's just as good, if not, better than I remember it being on back my school days.

10/10

Masterpiece, Absolute Legend.

I have a load of playtime on other platforms.

Momentum-based platforming with a lot of room for player skill improvement. Expressive and challenging, and with tons of levels. Multiplayer maps are also quite interesting.

Incredible game. Timeless classic.

Best platformer.

Thousands of sidescrollers DREAM of the absolutely perfect movement physics N already had in the original Macromedia Flash version. The ++ rerelease is just icing on the cake. But boy, is the icing excellent too! N++ does the precision platformer subgenre ultimate justice by putting the precision in the platformer like perhaps no other game does. All the new obstacles feel right at home next to the old ones, and even if you can't get enough after tons of content ready from a fresh install, there's way, WAY more custom stuff to get. Simply put, it's THE "just one more level" game!

Good foundation but the lack of checkpoints makes so many levels very tedious

Also annoying how the game changes the colour palette every f***ing time you unlock one and you have to change it back

its decent

I bought this game after watching a speedrun video on the internet, but it was much harder than it looked. However, it seems worth a try. The difficulty level is divided into several levels, so even unfamiliar people can challenge it. The difference from similar games is that there is acceleration, so you always have to think about acceleration.

I can't get N-ough of this game.
The physics parkour is precise yet fluid; the levels are filled with interesting puzzles and challenging obstacles, which are even more engaging than in the previous entries. If you've played the previous games then it'll feel familiar, though with numerous additions, such as round shapes, new enemies and hazards, and color themes.
There are massive additions to the co-op experience, including specially designed levels and a race gamemode. It's an absolute blast with friends (through Steam's remote play feature, or just at the same computer). Really the only thing that the game could use is native online multiplayer.
The graphics are fresh and the color schemes shake things up. The game is way too small on resolutions above 1080p though, and it's quite a hassle to get the game to scale up with the screen, even though that's the whole point of using vector graphics.
The price is well worth paying for what you get. If you enjoyed past Ns, or want to play one of the best platformers ever made, then go right ahead with N++.

im afking the game to listen to the OST but it's also really fun :)

game fucks up when you use windowed mode
only play in fullscreen

very fun very good i recommended

it's okay. i like the movement mechanics, but i feel like the levels and general gameplay don't take great advantage of them. also, some of the levels are frustrating.
the game seems like it would be good for speedrunning or if you're trying to improve your placing on the charts, but playing "normally" isn't that fun. the difficulty when playing "normally" comes from kinda normal platforming stuff, instead of from being able to do something fast enough or creatively enough.

"No Alienation, No Condescension, No Gender, No Exclusion"
the steam jester mob is going to kill me but BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED

Takes you back to the classic flash days, with added depth and polish. 10/10

broke a good keyboard playing this trash.

the laser cannon freaking sucks lmao

Legendary platformer.

i love en pluhs pluhs

This game will teach you programming because the leaderboards start from Zero

This game can get really tough, but its super rewarding to beat each level. also the gold collection in this one is interesting as to add to your total gold you have to collect all the gold in a level, which i think is a really cool way to make some levels re-playable. also all the color options is nice too. of course it controls really nicely too, when I lose it really feels like its me, not the game, which in my opinion is a really good thing.

if you loved the og N or N+ you'll love this one.

One of the most addicting games I've ever played. Yes it's frustrating, but man is it satisfying when you complete a difficult level!

I don't really know what I can say for this game, it's a platformer that has a nice feel and unique look to it. It's been this way since it was a flash game it's the same now in n++ but with more content to play around with. The best way I can put it is if you're not sure if this game is for you then imagine you're in an empty white tile room with a single tube in the middle, you have a ping pong ball and you need it to perfectly bounce into the tube. You spend hours and hours trying to just throw it perfect enough to land directly in there for the satisfaction.

Now imagine that situation but you have calm electro music, like soft synthwave? Hard to describe it to help you stay in that flow and now the white walls have some patterns that slightly shift ever so slightly but gently to help you stay engaged.

That's what playing N++ is like and I love it.

Phenomenal platformer. Vasquez is the only correct color scheme.

N it's a classic what can you say

i play this my bf sweared i was autistic when i told him

this game is quite literally unplayable nowadays due to constant rendering issues

this game is truly one of the best platformers out there
excellent mechanical depth, music, visual style and a HEAP of content
it's only being held back by resolution scaling issues and the steam cloud save system being broken.
(I've had my save erased like 4-5 times due to the cloud system not really working, so remember to have backups if you're planning to change computer or wipe your drive!)

Fun platformer, great background music

one of the best flash games of all time, now even better and it's on steam 😎

This game is based on a classic precision platformer called "N" , it had 2 iterations (N for free on flash, and N+ for xbox and nintendo ds) this is the final version of it, and its fully packed with most of the legacy levels and new ones.This game has an insane amount of content,

If you never played an N game before, it feels very different from other precision platformers, where your momentum of how much you run and when you start your jump will dictate how you will interact with the walls,wall jumps, acceleration and deceleration for precision jumps. Think super mario bros 1, and you may get a good idea on how this momentum system works. its really good.

the OST is amazing, but its mostly copyrighted music from a vast amount of artists, so your best bet is looking them up on youtube.

case in point, it's really good, this game is a completionist nightmare, because some challenges are so ridiculously difficult you might as well not care about it, also if somehow you crave for more N++, this game has a map editor, and you can play other people's custom levels

Overall, the best N game and one of the best precision platformers out there, i would highly recommend it if you like good but somewhat slightly infuriating hard platformers.I give this a 10/10

one of the best platformers out there

Simple, yet challenging platformer. Well worth the money.

This, is a certified, platforming classic.
Raw platforming, no BS. So many levels that you'll never run out of something to play. A co-op mode with some really well designed levels that is fun to play with friends. What's not to love?

P E A K

ok

if you like extremely difficult games, and very rewarding achievements. then this one is for you

I've been playing the flash predecessor since it came out. I'm so glad they made a fresh one for me to obsess over

It has black man

Very good game with tons of content. Also kinda painful. If you're a completionist this game will either cure you or keep you busy for a few years. Definitely a must play game if you enjoy precision platformers.

Steam cloud stopped functioning properly at some point, so make sure to back up your save file manually. This has been a well known issue for a few years now, so I wouldn't count on it ever getting addressed.

purist platformer feels great to play, chock full of levels, and superb local mp

The exclamation that this might be "the greatest platformer ever" might sound arrogant at first, but there is most definitely truth to it. 4,340 unique handcrafted levels that can be completed within a 30 seconds, a minute, or two minutes with varying degrees of challenge, unique momentum-and-physics based platforming, and loads of customization.

The only con I can think of is how the framerate is always locked to 60 and you don't get the increased smoothness of a high refresh rate display, however the game is smooth on it's own and this is easy to just ignore, and is fine on a Steam Deck, I'm sure.

The controls are incredibly simple. Left, right, and jump, which is a hold input meaning the longer you hold, the higher you jump, and same goes for tapping. Movement left or right functions in a similar way. You have friction and momentum, walljumping, sliding down sloped surfaces, and all of it is under your control. There isn't anything but the forces of gravity controlling you.

The look of the game is incredibly variable thanks to its visual design, you can apply any number of color schemes and it still works, some better than others though. Timeless visual design that will look good forever.

I recommend going through the legacy levels first if you hadn't completed the original flash game. All of those levels are there, just in a scrambled order. It's not like the ordering of the levels matter much though.

Overall I recommend. Even if you don't like platformers, at least give this a try. If you don't feel like buying it yet, you can download the original Flash release on the website, and get a feel for it there. I do recommend this version though as it has more features, more levels, more everything. Plus plus.

If you want a painful game to 100% probably get this
