In N, you are a ninja that has an insatiable desire to obtain gold and explore while still adhering to the ways of the ninja.

You will need to navigate through multiple levels that are also designed to be physics simulations, so you need to think out of the box to progress successfully. You can and will be killed - often - and it will be unique. You live life timed by minutes in this realm that is infested with robots that are programmed to kill ninjas. Your ninja moves are controlled by the arrow keys with Z being used to jump. Gold pieces provide you with extra time. You can jump and rebound off of walls to scale the odd shaped rooms just like a ninja.

We played N for a bit, and it is quite challenging and fun - we died often, we died fast. N has been described as somewhat similar to the Lode Runner platform video game.
