That game is nothing short of genius. - Arkun, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Direct link to download page: http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html
This game is GREAT, trust me. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Its the N-Game! Ninjaaaaaa
- snarkleclackers, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Yes it is.
- snarkleclackers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10It's kind of funny that I just learned of this game 20 minutes ago from http://digg.com/gaming_news/50_Really_Good_Indie_Videogames and I really haven't stopped playing it since I downloaded it.
- androothebear, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7ive had this game forever. its really fun, but be prepared to throw your PSP/DS across the room when you get within inches of the goal and die.
incredibly frustrating game... - Sornos, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Why do people say WII WARE WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING! when XNA has been out for close to a year, and yet does things better?
- MagikOvenMit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Maybe you should, oh, I don't know, play it?
- themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4OMFG. No way. Such a mathematically precise game finally gets some attention and gets published,
- Sornos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I've never bought an XBLA game before, but I will buy this one. Partly because it rocks, and partly to encourage more ports of indie games to XBLA ,and other downloadable platforms.
- GrantTheGr8, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"N has been described as reminiscent of lode runner -- you're a little dude running around in a puzzle-y world inhabited by enemies. But in N, there's a twist: the ninja is driven not only by a thirst for gold, but also by a physics simulation. Death, which happens often, is quite animated."
Oh, and it's freeware.

- MrFettuccine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The N-Game! I was addicted to that game for about a month... Played it on my free time in college which was usually late at night. Very fun game. That'll be something to look forward to whenever I move to the next-gen consoles.
- philhatesyou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wow. Congratulations on being a total asswipe. These guys try and do something cool and you have to go off and whine like a little bitch. Please, kindly, ***** off and die. :)
- Ellipson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22nd that. Even though it's free online, I'm definitely going to support the makers.
- smartalco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2online versions of N are illegal, just go download it here -> http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet
- posure, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Man, I used to love this game back in college, can't wait to buy it on XBLA
- battletrax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not even geometry wars? Shame shame on you.
- scuba7183, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11down?
- newanalog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's awesome! I found an old copy of this from a year or two ago on my backup drive and it has been back on my desktop for the past few months for when I need a break from work. Looks like I'll be playing it on the couch now too.
- Dracusis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Fantastic news for the N crew!
They made a fun and addictive little platformer and they also posted several helpful articles and tutorials discussing in detail the algorithms they created in order to make the game run fast in flash, including several little interactive movies demonstrating the concepts behind the code they used.
Kudos to them, they deserve it!
"I don't care if it's freeware or not; what makes the game FUN?"
It's free, play it and you'll soon find out. True, it's not much to look at, but their goal was never eye candy, it was zen induced motion candy and it dishes it up in spades! Play it, now! - grimw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You go play it for me and then tell me what it is. Based on the stick man I saw, I don't think I'd be interested. I could be wrong, but I'm still looking for a summary of the game rather than a mountain of words telling me it's freeware.
- vagarach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I tried opening the swf file for N in the psp browser, but unfortunately it says 'out of memory'. Too bad :(
- grimw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If it was cool, the article could likely summarize it in a paragraph. The article was poorly written because they could not quickly summarize the concept before going "it's freeware" every other sentence.
- noodlebreath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This game is really cool
- smartalco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i have played this game for years, tis awesome, definitely getting it ;)
- lothar250, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's a great thing this amazing game is going a little mainstream, cause it really is a lot of fun (And it's got like a thousand levels i think, if you don't count the downloadable ones)
- juniorlikespie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1really real old news.
- estacado, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Is it me, or is 1up.com down?
- t3hprogrammer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3I don't know what 2-d games you're playing to consider graphics over everything else.
- moocow1452, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1This is just like Alien Hominid. This is great that the game market is finally opening up to indie games. And now Wii ware is gonna make it easier for game makers to get their names out there. Awesome.
- Knoton, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Considering the fact that the original N has been submitted and frontpaged multiple times I would have hoped that more people had heard of it, especially when people yell DUPE! all the time... oh well
Just a couple I could find within edit window

http://www.digg.com/playable_web_games/Ninja_Flash_Game - grimw, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1So, the article was too long for me to quickly find out what the game was about. Anyway, it looks like crap. Are we supposed to be amazed just because it's a freeware game that made it to the DS? I don't care if it's freeware or not; what makes the game FUN?
- RubberBinder, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3version of N online
http://www.mofunzone.com/online_games/n.shtml# - battletrax, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2this game sucks. I almost won but a freaking sticky keys pop up came up and i died.
nice controls guys. - Superflks, on 10/10/2007, -13/+7Don't you mean "N+," the game I'm positive nobody has heard about?
- cozamonkey, on 10/10/2007, -14/+4Cmon guys... it's really not THAT good.
- 10001110101, on 10/10/2007, -13/+2I'm guessing it's just me, but the absolute shoddiness of the graphics make me less than interested.
