    N++ is a minimalist platforming game. The central "twist" in it is the use of momentum - as you build up momentum, you can run faster, jump higher and further, and fling yourself around a lot faster.

    This is somewhat at odds with its precision platforming at times, but works reasonably well at others.

    Sadly, while the levels are okay, the game itself is pretty lacking in character; it is designed to be minimalist, but it ends up coming off as cheap (price-wise, not gameplay-wise - though the latter comes up at times, as the levels get hard fast). It also seems to center around collecting every little gold coin in each level (and there are *lots* of levels), ultimately giving it a somewhat tedious feeling in many cases.

    It also is far too long for the number of elements it has; it contains thousands of levels, but after it introduces a pretty small number of elements fairly early, it has nothing more to show you, instead replacing variety with sheer difficulty.

    This isn't an awful game; what it is is mediocre. The level design is okay, but you're not really given any reason to keep playing, and it ends up wearing thin while there are still many thousands of levels yet to play.
