This game is pretty similar to lode runner. But what makes it different is the crazy physics of the game...you are a ninja, and you can do things like...jump off of walls and jump across a level and blow yourself up. It is very challenging indeed. Usually, dying in a game like this gets me frustrated, but most of the time, it is just entertaining to die. The death sequences are spectacular. Imagine you are standing on top of a cliff, but you get shot at by a laser turret. Your body tumbles off of the cliff, and it hits a bomb. Your body explodes into a few pieces, and all those pieces hit other bombs or enemies and yeah. It is crazy. So check out N. I am currently stuck on level 24-ish. There are 100 levels, each consisting of five areas to play.

Yeah, N was the first game I covered in the Good Action Games thread. I know Schik and I have played it thoroughly...we've both beaten all of the main levels (and Schik has a decent number of high scores) and played most of the user-made levels (the good ones, at least). A very good game, always nicely enhanced by the free updates they did.

Game on,
