The first of several updates we'll be doing to address some of the issues that people have reported with N++ has been released and can be downloaded right now. What's changed: * Disable StickyKeys while the game is running, to prevent a popup when the default LSHIFT/RSHIFT Colour/Social menu buttons are used * Fix for occasional crashes when browsing/playing user levels * Eating unwanted key repeats from SDL, so holding the jump key doesn't send you through all the post-game screens. * Updated the game controller database, adding support for several third party controllers * Fix to allow beta users to get all the 'killed' trophies instead of just the highest * Require pressing START to join the game instead of A when using an XBox controller (this is a preliminary fix for the double-player XBox One controller bug, that should make solo play work as intended) Thank you to everyone who's reporting or updating bugs over at https://app.assembla.com/spaces/nplusplus/support/tickets We're working hard to organise and find fixes for all the issues, and have some more surprises for you down the line!

N++ is a fast-paced, momentum-based platformer about darting around obstacles, narrowly evading enemies and collecting gold in a beautiful minimalist landscape. It’s the first N game on PC since 2004 and we’ve spent those 12 years perfecting the platformer.

N++ is all about using your momentum to complete levels and get high scores, but in this sci-fi world, there’s a slew of inadvertently homicidal enemy robots trying to prevent you from completing your goal.

Through the hand-crafted (NOT procedurally generated) levels, you’ll experience platforming at its most intense. Using only your fluid movement, you need to ‘solve’ each level and get to the exit.

In addition to the lengthy and challenging single player campaign, we’ve packed a ton of features into this one last entry in the N series including:

-4,340 hand-made levels
-Custom Levels, Level Editor & Global Level Sharing
-Leaderboards and replays for every level (even the ones you make)
-Local Co-op Mode (up to 4 players)
-Local Competitive Mode (up to 4 Players)
-Hardcore Mode, an intense single-player challenge which only the best ninjas will survive
-Intense, hidden Secret challenges to discover
-63 tracks by top electronic artists
-119 different color palettes let you customize the game’s look and keep it fresh every time you play
-and more!

Play a little, or a lot -- there's no skill ceiling, so you can always get better and better. N++ is a game that has enough bite-sized gameplay to last you a lifetime.
