    dkirschner's N++ (PC)

    [July 5, 2024 01:35:42 PM]
    This has been on my wishlist for ages, the pinnacle of minimalistic platforming and speedrunning with precise physics-based controls. Finally bought it, played it, and...I get it, but I've no interest in playing after a couple hours. It is exactly what it says it is, but maybe I wanted this more many years ago. There are 325 levels, but each level is actually a bundle of 5 levels. That's 1,625 levels. I beat all the introductory level bundles (25) and beat one or two of each of the other bundle categories (each of which have 100 bundles [times 5 levels in each bundle]). My brain can barely comprehend this.

    I will say, the levels I played, I sure was sucked in. They are immediately difficult, requiring precise platforming and an understanding of how the game's movement and physics work. It's all about gaining and using momentum to launch yourself around the map. You've got to avoid all the deadly traps as you unlock the exit door and leave. If you're feeling especially bold, you can try to collect all the coins in each level. I got a handful of perfects, but man, according to Howlongtobeat.com, it takes over 400 hours to perfect all the levels. I can't imagine. And some people have done it!

    I searched on YouTube for "hardest N++ levels" and was in awe of the players I found. I was thinking, "Oh, if you just make a beeline for the exit, this isn't so hard. It's only hard if you're collecting coins." Not so in later levels! Just making it to the exit looked impossible. I'll never be that capable, so I will stop while I'm ahead!

    dkirschner's opinion and rating for this game

    Minimalistic physics platformer. Seems ideal for speedrunning and getting mad at the controls! ------- I counted 325 levels. I did about 30.
