Hello all! The game "n", made by Metanet is a free (although closed) ninja-platform game, which now finally seems to be available in a working Linux version. This is one of my absolute favourite games ever, played it all the way through on the Windows version. It's a pretty challenging physics based action/puzzle game, stylish and minimalistic.

Today I saw that there was a new version available (might have been for a while), downloaded it and it seemed to work just fine! Earlier, there were lots of performance troubles, as in unplayable. There are some tips in the readme for better Linux performance and sound trouble too, if needed.

I really recommend all to check it out!
N has been described as reminiscent of lode runner -- you're a little dude running around in a puzzle-y world inhabited by enemies.

But in N, there's a twist: the ninja is driven not only by a thirst for gold, but also by a physics simulation.

Death, which happens often, is quite animated.
