N Game 2.0 (The Way of the Ninja)

About N Game 2.0

N (also known as N: The Way of the Ninja) is a minimalist platformer where you control a small ninja racing through deadly, tile-based levels. Your mission in each round is to hit the switch, open the exit door, and dash through before your time runs out. There’s a strict timer—around 90 seconds for a group of levels—so speed and precision matter.

The ninja moves with just a few keys: left, right, jump, and even a self-destruct option if you need a quick restart. You’ll zip across walls, slide down slopes, and cling to ceilings using real-feeling physics. Each mistake—whether from mistimed jumps, walls, or fast-moving hazards—can lead to a sharp, sometimes funny death animation.

This game is packed with content. The original has 500 levels, and version 2.0 expands that to 600, spread across multiple “episodes”. There’s a built-in level editor and even a two-player mode in later versions. Fans love its tight controls and the satisfying rush of speed, even if that means restarting dozens of times. It’s simple in design but deep in challenge—a classic modern platforming staple.
