What he played was probably the original flash game, simply called [n](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_(video_game\)), which came out almost exactly 10 years ago.
They then released n+ in 2008 which was released on xbla Nintendo DS and PSP.
They also updated the pc/web version to n 2.0 in 2013, which is the latest version you can play or download here
finally n++ is going to be the newest version released on PS4. All games are very very similar, but I'm super excited to play n++ again on the big screen.
N was pretty exciting when it was first released, but it's far too difficult for me. For anyone wanting to play it, here's a link - http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html
I remember trying to search for it when it first came out and it wasn't easy.
By the by, OP, have you played N? It's an older game, but it's apparently in the same genre (and free). I could never get into SMB because I greatly preferred N's character controller/physics/clean aesthetic. I think it tends to go unnoticed, and there's a lot to glean from it, especially given the educational resources they've published about it, so I was just wondering. I really love the way that game plays, the physics are intensely satisfying. It's kind of floaty and slow but you can really get up to speed in that game.
(I made over 200 custom maps for it, but they website hosting them seems to have evaporated :[)
I'd add:
- Elona
- Garden of Coloured Lights, a difficult vertical shmup. In this one, the enemy shots supplement the background music, which seems to be good enough to hold my interest.
- La-Mulana, a platformer that's a tribute to the MSX and Maze of Galious.
- N
- OpenRA, a re-implementation of C&C Red Alert (although it depends on non-free assets, but could be re-tooled if necessary.)
- UFO: Alien Invasion, a remake of the older X-Com series.
Of the list you provided, I noticed a lack of Shmup based shooters. In particular, the ones that spray flak and "supressing fire" all over the place tend to be a niche market, but should be popular to recommend. Try looking at Blue Wish Resurrection, Cho Ren Sha 68k, Endeffector, or anything else you'd think looks pretty.

[](/hmmm) I actually don't remember. It's probably because I have slightly weird tastes to begin with—to start with, one of the reasons behind my flair is because I seriously thought about drinking vinegar before. Not to mention I like intestines and liver, but I'd rather say no more. [](/sp) [](/yona) With that out of the way, one game I went back to (again) was N. While I was familiar with it for over a decade and played on-and-off, it was only this week that I started actually finishing columns. [](/sp) [](/ohhi) Which I'll use as a segue to games that are good and have amiable developers and fanbases but weren't meant to be updated for the long run save for some bug fixes. [](/sp) [](/sunsetshimmer) What comes to mind is N++ and Heat Signature. The former had a trailer which did not shy away from saying that there was no sequel; the latter's chief developer, Tom Francis, has stated that you shouldn't buy the game if you're expecting a consistent stream of content updates—and, sure enough, for a last year Fall release, its last update was back in February. [](/sp) [](/shiningarmor) I may be myopic and perhaps it's only the popular and profitable few that don't follow that way of thinking, but it's nice having these kinds of games. They're either one-shots or the last entry to a series and, instead of a bang, it all ends with a happy whimper as few new fans join the sparse but dedicated veterans—and even then, their numbers are dwindling down.
I haven't played it in handheld yet, so cannot say anything about that.
You can use either analogue stick or d-pad.
I used to play the original flash game a ton. I was going to give this a pass because why would I pay for just more of the same? Then I redownloaded the flash game and remembered why I played that so much back then. I'd say yes, it's definitely worth it.
If you're unsure and haven't played any of the N, N+, N++ games yet, download the game (or play it in browser) here and see if you like it.
If you want something fairly chill, and something you can jump into with ease (and leave with ease), you could try this game. It's called N, and is a cool web based platformer with tons of interesting levels. Its free but if you like it i believe there is also a paid version.
N is great! And now there's N+ for a lot of systems, too. I feel like the PR for them or whatever but that's cool 'cause I love N so much I'd do that for free. Which is precisely what I am doing, so. Good for me.
N was made in Flash. Granted, it is showing its age a bit - it was released 8 years ago - but it is still a great platformer... The controls take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's extremely fun. There's a ton of levels, which means that you can play this game for quite some time.
Cave Story -- it's free, fun, has great sound and audio. Oh, and it has multiple endings, too.
N -- a great platformer. If I remember right, there's something like 100 levels, and you can download community-made levels, too -- and even make your own.
Minecraft certainly offers near-infinite replayability, and is playable offline if you've run the launcher at least once. It's not free, but I'd be willing to buy her a gift code -- I'm in that sort of mood.
Hell, I've got giftable Steam copies of Half Life 2 and the first Deus Ex. Though Steam can be a fickle bitch when it comes to playing offline.
The homepage for addictinggames.com was blocked in our high school, but if you knew the full url for whatever game you could bypass it. Used to have the one for game memorized.
some notable titles i saw missing from your collection:
-Chibi-Robo Park Patrol
-Drawn to Life 1 & 2 (or the collection, but apparently that version made some controversial changes)
-The Legendary Starfy
-Picross 3D
-Rhythm Heaven
-Scribblenauts Collection (fixes control issues from the original Scribblenauts)
-Tetris DS
-WarioWare Touched
-Wario: Master of Disguise
as far as less popular stuff, one semi-hidden gem i recommend is N+. it's based on a browser game (N: The Way of the Ninja) and it's a pretty fun patformer.
It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

If you played the original flash game back in 2004, then you would be hyped. This is a refinement in every way to what was already a spectacular game. Even if you have never played it, I urge you to try this game. If you're on the fence, try the original in your browser to get an idea of where it's coming from.
Eine Demo gibt es nicht, aber das alte Flashspiel N kann man spielen, die Keyboardsteuerung finde ich jedoch nicht überzeugend.: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html
Der Artstyle ist, nunja, reduziert, aber die Animationen sind top. Ich finde es erstaunlich, wie lebensnah so ein Strichmännel animiert werden kann.
<em>N</em>. Best of all, it's totally free.
Personally, most of the old-school purists have a penchant for playing 1.4, but they are all awesome. If you want to support the AWESOME devs, you can buy N++ on PC, PS4, and (as of last week) Xbox One!
Cactusquid Arcade 1 and 2, which are a collection of many free games made by Jonotan "Cactus" Söderstrom, who later became one half of Dennaton, who made Hotline Miami. Most of the games are endless, and are all very weird most of the time, but are still worth checking out if any one of the genres of shoot'em'ups, platformers, and other such things. My personal favorites include Clean Asia!, MSOIDS, Burn The Trash, This Is Infinity, and Evac.
N, a very old plarforming game known for it's very fluid and momentum-based gameplay. It is also unforgivably difficult, but still worth it so much to master. It also has a level editor. The game has also released two paid-for sequels, N+ and N++, the latter of which you should also check out because it is a great PC game pick.
StepMania, which is basically Dance Dance Revolution on your PC. It is heavily user-thriving, with user-created content inclusing songs and game themes being churned out at absurd paces.
It was a game called N, it was a platformer and I think you could play it on a few sites through flash and then there was a full downloadable version of the game as well. Spent so much time on that game. And apparently it's still around: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html
If you want a very technical 2d platformer, Nv2.0 is free and is extremely simple. No real skips or glitches, just pure platforming. Download it here: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html
Also as a bonus, it's one of the few games that you can play optimally with one hand. Just think of all the other things you could do with that other hand.
IIRC the original N (a flash game) is still available online. Try to find it and play it as a demo.
Edit: Here is the link.. N++ has more levels, enemies, mechanics etc.
Plugging N in because I just beat it a week or two ago (finally). I think it's the best platformer ever made honestly.
On a site note, I'd recommend playing v1.4 instead, 2.0 is too easy.
I was #1 in the rankings for most high scores for a while after the game <em>N</em> came out.
In retrospect, I just had a ton of free time and the game hadn't reached its peak popularity yet.
Another side note about CCleaner. If you play the awesome free game N (which belongs on this list itself), CCleaner's default settings will erase your save file, so change the settings, backup your file, or both.
For a free one you should look into N.
It's a flash game where you control a little ninja and is famed for it's difficulty and insane fanbase forever making levels that are ever more brain burningly tough. I'm not responsible if your heart leaps up through your neck and strangles your brain in frustration though.
For an easier time, go play the old Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World. They're the tame and soothing version of the brutal platformers that are enjoying a resurgence.
