{{quote|''N, 'the way of the ninja', is a highly advanced system of spiritual, cognitive, and physical training. It emphasizes pacifism, humility, and the need to traverse a series of 5 rooms before the end of your lifetime; a feat known only as 'beating an episode.' ''|'''[[Excuse Plot|The story]]'''}}
 
''[[N]]'' is a [[Platformer]] made in [[Adobe Flash|Flash]]. You control a tiny ninja who has the gift of speed but unfortunately this causes him age faster, ''much'' faster, but the joy of collecting gold makes him so giddy he lives longer. The goal is to get to the exit door which you must flip some switches to open. You can collect little gold squares which add time to your lifespan. Baddies of every sort frequent the levels.
 
Somewhat recently, theThe game saw a revitalization in 2008 as three separate [[Mission Pack Sequel|Mission Pack Sequels]] for the [[Nintendo DS]], [[PSP]], and [[Xbox Live Arcade]] all titled ''[[N+ ]]''. All of them are still just as tricky as the original. It was followed by ''N++'' in 2015.
 
After more than five years, ''N'' is finally getting updated to version 1.5!

This page is probably the best thing to use as your bookmark for [[TV Tropes]], as it has a [[One-Letter Title]].

=== This game is an example of: ===
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: If you complete all the 500 levels, all you get is {{spoiler|to select a custom color for your ninja}}. [[Bragging Rights Reward|It's worth it anyway]].
** Actually, getting through the fifth/sixth column unlocks "[[Harder Than Hard|Overclock Mode]]," which speeds up everything in the game by a ridiculous degree. Some levels, in fact, may be impossible to defeat with human reflexes.
Line 30 ⟶ 26:
** The turrets know this, too; if the ninja is in such a straight line as mentioned above, the turret ''will shoot'', regardless of whether or not the ninja is actually in the crosshair.
* [[Death Course]]
* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]
* [[Directionally Solid Platforms]]: In every single direction, no less.
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: In the DS version of N+ . ''NICE ONE''
* [[Instant Win Condition]]: If the exit is open, touching it means you win the level. Even while falling at terminal velocity to splatter a fraction of a second later.
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: Played with. [[Sentry Gun|Turrets]]/[[Mecha -Mooks|Drones]] use [[Magnetic Weapons|Gauss Cannons]], [[More Dakka|machine guns]], [[Frickin' Laser Beams|lasers]]... Pretty much everything what is on stock.
* [[Level Editor]]
* [[Locked Door]]
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: orOr something very like it: Oh, no, you don't just die. Depending on how much is going on the screen, you could get dismembered, bounced around repeatedly, burned, shocked, sliced in half, thrown, smashed, and blown up... all at the same time.
** Oh and if you get hit with the right conditions, you can either A)Get blown up and have your gibs pinned halfway through a wall and have it spit blood for all eternity, B)Get your BODY forcibly pinned halfway through a wall and have it spit blood for all eternity or C)Get shot THROUGH the wall and fall out of the game
** It's fun to watch.
* [[Made of Plasticine]] -: The ninja will spew blood pretty much whatever hits him, and often explodes if blown up or simply crushed.
** Blowing up when crushed somewhat [[Makes Sense in Context]], though, as the "crushing enemies" ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|Thwumps]]) are electrified on the side with which they try to crush the ninja.
* [[Malevolent Architecture]]
** Also [[Benevolent Architecture]]
* [[Made of Plasticine]] - The ninja will spew blood pretty much whatever hits him, and often explodes if blown up or simply crushed.
** Blowing up when crushed somewhat [[Makes Sense in Context]], though, as the "crushing enemies" ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|Thwumps]]) are electrified on the side with which they try to crush the ninja.
* [[Wizard Needs Food Badly|Ninja Needs Gold Badly]]
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: Indeed, it's that sudden stop at the end. Memorably, you can still [[Wall Jump]] even when sailing at speeds fast enough to kill you -- and if you wall-jump up a chute quickly enough, you can kill yourself by hitting the ''ceiling'' too hard (complete with blood splatter).
