Just wanted to give this game a little publicity. It's called "N" and you control a little ninja jumping on a 2d map. Looks familiar?:) The game was inspired partially by Soldat and some of the sounds are from Soldat (the author contacted me for this and I said yes. Guess which sounds are from Soldat). I must say this game is great I got kinda addicted to it. It's an arcade/puzzle game (no shooting:)) a blend of Elastomania, Sonic the Hedghog, Lemmings (?) and of course our favourite game S:).

Cool, there's even a Mac version!

..*Nudges Michal*

wow, the physics feel very nice, although it lags like hell for me :(
on a PIII 450 mhz

gonna see if I can increase the frame rate ;)

thanks Michal

Whoa, first time Michal posts in Lounge. Be afraid! Next time he will compete with CC!

Anyways it is cool, and it does not lag in a 400 mhz(although it is not completely smooth it is faster than soldat)... maybe cuz i only reached 2ndlevel by the moment

hehe ok ill check it out :D

Thats almost as good as soldat. :D It runs very smoothly and the physics are top notch. I got on the episode 2 and almost got thru it but then there was a labyrinth like level that i couldn't get pass.

so hard, but cant stop playing it...

excelent game! love the ninja man :D but i lag a bit :\ darn pIII

im playing on a PIII 500 and it doesnt lag
that games fun, almost too fun...hmm...

hmm does the continue game work for u guys, I type in my pass but it wont work???

awesome ninja game reminds me of old school platform games with a dash of todays type of games ^^

continue works fo' me

WOW, this game is great! I quit Soldat [;)]

Wow, nice game.
the physics are great.

where is the barret ?

Link no working at the moment. :(

Damn dial up.
Can't wait untill i get ADSL. Soon.

Thanks Michal, now I've got a new game to like, Soldat sucks, I'll play N instead of Soldat now. ;) Nah, but N is really, really nice, especially the physics. I've just finished Episode 1 now, but I hope the next levels will be a bit more diversified :) And damn it, I want to have a map maker! This game is made to have a Mapmaker! :)

[Edit]
ah, great, in the next release there will be a level editor :)

[Edit²]
Episode 4 Level 13 now :)

wheeee N is so cool!!!

i wanna make a level =O and i got lazy and went all da way to the last episode and beat the 1st lvl in an hour or less........ just the 1st lvl wow dat was fun ^^

N is so l33t :3

too many campers, the first 3 lvls were fun tho

Episode 4-2 right now. :D Then i started to get angry. :P

I'm in 4-14 now. I've been playing this level for half an hour or longer now, and it's just [:-censored]. Sometimes I would have nearly made it, and then I die again. Levels like that are just frustrating. If there wouldn't be a "skip level" cheat I would have said that the creator of the game is dumb, but luckily the cheat is there.. All levels were ok, in some you had to think because they were a bit tricky, but none was so stupid like 4-14...

When you download the zip, there's a .txt file labeled "n_cheats"

<< Taken from n_cheats.txt in the N zip package >>

===================
level skip:
to skip to the next level, at the pre-game prompt ("level loaded; press [spacebar] to begin"),
do the following:
-turn on capslock
-while holding shift and "z", press enter

this will beat the current level.. but it's soooo cheap!
can't you beat it the real way?!
======

<< End >>
Hope I helped.

you should have read the entire post ;) but thanks anyway :)

This game is sweet. It says you need a pent 4 but thats not true. I got a pent 2 350 and it runs fine. Not the best frame rates in the world but it dosent hinder my play. and with it being less then a meg i can take it to school on a lil' floppy disk. YaY for N.

holy crap

/me shudders

mike ... p-p-posted???? wow dude its been a while since i seen that

/me inspects midnight sky for a blue moon

crazy the download just finished too im gonna go play!![:D]

heh.... awsome.

Level 3 of Episode 5. No levels skipped. :P

hey,
(i'm one of the game's authors)
thanks for the feedback!

sorry about the impossible level 4-4; we made the game for a contest, and arranging the levels was something we did very last minute, so sadly the difficulty sometimes isn't very even.

also, we didn't get a chance to test it on many PCs, that's why we said a p4 was needed -- just to be safe.

we're going to be releasing a new version, with level editor and more levels, pretty soon (a month or so); first we have to write some tutorials about the collision detection/etc.

anyway, i'm glad so many people here like it; when we made i we weren't sure if anyone besides us would get into an oldschool-type game with physics.

thanks,
raigan

Episode 5 - Level 14
Without skipping levels.. well, I skipped some I've already beat 10 times but was too lazy to beat 'em again when starting a new game. And I've beat one level after I skipped it. But I beat all levels until Level 14 ;)

Is it just me, or has anyone else started trying to jump off walls in soldat...

It's just you luv..

I've been doing that for ages Chak....

Michal, you dippy sod, there is not even an indication of anything that links N to Soldat. I checked the site over and things and there wasn't a hint of a mention of Soldat.

I just downloaded this from gamehippo.com

Is a great game, N1nj@ is always cool :D

wow, nice game.

I think the sound of those chaingun robots are modified Soldat-Minigun sounds, and maybe the sound when you splash on the ground might be taken from Soldat as well.

And jumping off walls in Soldat.. well, I do it often at places where it's possible, but I didnt try to catch golden coins or to avoid homing-robots, yet.

hey,
not to be contrary, but you're wrong -- soldat is the top "inspiration" in the credits page, and michal is credited for sounds. just try quitting from the main menu. ;)

raigan
p.s - there isn't much of anything on our site, it will maybe someday be a bit less minimal.

>.> should have recognition on the site. [:-censored].

lolz anyway i want level editor now >.< i wanna make some =)

THERE ARE WALLS IN SOLDAT!?

*cough* Anyway, great game.

Well I've tried to jump off walls in real life.. Ouch.

cool, as I thought he even WAS inspired by Super Bubble Blob
