Good tidings! We know things are rough right now, and wanted to do a little something to keep people's spirits up. So, we're giving out some N++ keys!
We have over 40 keys to give out, spread among Steam (global), Xbox (global), Playstation (NA & EU), and Switch (NA, EU, & ANZ). For a chance to win one, pop by our discord server and drop a react in the #giveaway channel; winners will be drawn on April 18th.

Stay safe out there, and we hope to see you around soon!

Good news! Now, you can play N++ in a multitude of languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Chinese and Japanese. Hooray! There are a bunch of small improvements and a refresh for Mac in this update as well.

As you may know, N++ has over 1000 hours of gameplay goodness, plus a level editor, which means you could play literally forever, developing your ninja skills and getting better and better every day. Perfect for self-isolating! ;)

But did you know it's even more awesome with more than one ninja?! It's true! Try teaming up with a friend using Remote Play Together to play Solo, Co-op or Competitive MP. Hundreds of hours of multiplayer goodness awaits.

We hope that this update introduces N++ to a new audience around the world, and that the game brings a little joy to all of you, especially in these challenging times. Stay safe out there, all you ninjas! 

By the way, we thought it couldn't be done, but N++ has now been 100%'d by an incredible EIGHT (8) intrepid ninjas! Congratulations, all, that's an amazing achievement. If you've suddenly got some extra time on your hands, why not aim to be #9? 

If you do succeed at 100%ing the game, or just want a chill place to hang out, connect with the awesome N++ community on our discord server here: https://discord.gg/umGncGh

Ultimate Edition Update!

At long last, N++ Ultimate Edition is here! Now there's even more to love about N++ :)
It's a free update for anyone who owns the game; we went back and forth on whether or not to charge for this DLC, and decided that we really wanted to encourage more people to try N++, and that this might be a great way to do it!

This update contains a ton of new content, doubling the number of levels, colour schemes, and ninja headbands.
It's like an entire second N++, for free! It really is a game that could last a lifetime.

There's also a brand new singleplayer game mode called Hardcore.
Hardcore was designed for fans and especially highscore competitions -- in contrast to the regular Solo mode, in Hardcore the clock is always ticking and every death counts.
This transforms N++ into the ultimate skill-based challenge, adding another echelon to strive for in your quest for ninja glory.

Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day! During February, sink your teeth into two delicious new, special colour schemes: Chococherry and Birthday Cake. Hooray! More details here: http://www.metanetsoftware.com/2017/joyeux-saint-valentin

This is a minor update to fix a not-so-minor issue: people were reporting their save games being corrupted when tracking/untracking and following/unfollowing levels while playing them.
There was also a pretty common issue with some graphics cards that people were having with launching the game that we managed to track down.
So here's an update that fixes all that!
-T

We're hard at work on Ultimate Edition and haven't had a lot of time to work on some of the bugs that have been reported recently, but the 'sounds getting cut off' one was really annoying so we've fixed it.
Also, a few of the levels have updated to make secret challenges possible.
