I got bored last night and flicked through some old games I have on my hard drive, came across N+ and thought, "what the hell." After playing it for a little while, I quickly fell back in love with it, but found it a little lacking of much variety after having played the levels already. So I jumped into some levels that I'd made a while ago, and immediately wanted to kick myself in the nuts for creating such aggravatingly hard levels. Don't get me wrong, I played the **** out of them until I beat them all, but god damn. I honestly don't know how I made these monstrosities. I wish the level sharing side of N+ wasn't pared down to only p2p sharing, because I don't have any people on my friends list that still play N+ or had created levels in the first place. It would be awesome to be able to download as many levels created by the community as you'd like, but MS is afraid of swear words and penises, apparently. I also wish I had a cap card so I could share my levels with everyone. I'm not trying to blow my own horn and call myself a genius of level design or anything of the like, but they're pretty badass. Perhaps I'll have to try just recording the replays with my phone, but we'll see. Perhaps there will finally be an N++ further down the line, and it will allow user generated content to be completely freely shared with the community. One can only hope. If you have anything to say on this subject, a map to share, or a fond reminiscence of this game, please share.
I only ever had the demo of N+, but I played the original N all four years of highschool. My friend Brandon and I got prettty beast at that game. My favorite type of maps to make were race ones, they were badass.
I just played N for about 10 levels before ragequitting. It was fun while it lasted. I've played it before but never N+ .. is it much better?
I have N+ on XBLA and I still play it when I'm bored from time to time. I just love the simplicity. Better than Super Meat Boy imo.
N+ is one of the most addictive games on XBLA, in my opinion, next to Trials and Super Meat Boy. It will aggravate the absolute **** out of you, but you'll continue playing it because of it's "one more go" mentality it instills in your brain. I've finished every level, as well as the Expert challenge and downloaded all the level packs. Like I said, if the community map sharing thing had been enabled by MS then this games longevity would probably still be going.
N+ I loved this game from the very second I bought it, then I proceeded to hate and want to smash it's smug ***** ass face in for some of those stupid levels where you've got to be so precise you'd need to have the thumbstick control of a god. It's still one of the best games on XBLA by far.
It and Super Meat Boy are some of the best platformers in existence. I've made Tonne of levels in N+, but I dont have gold right now, so sharing isnt possible. Perhaps its because Meatboy has much better controls, but IMO, N+ is an awful lot more difficult than SMB. N+ is one of the few games (And the only 360 game) that causes me to rage quit.
