The N Game Review

I beat the N Game a few months ago so I feel somewhat qualified to write a review about it. The N Game is a Macromedia Flash, 2-D game where you play a ninja and you have to unlock some sort of portal and then get to it to beat a level. There are all sorts of ways you can get killed though and some of the levels and episodes are phenomenally difficult. I think that the game has a perfect learning curve. The first month or so that I played it, I was absolute garbage and it was extremely embarrassing when people watched me play because I was just that bad. I beat the game after about four months of addiction and I was extremely proud of myself after I beat it. Some of the levels seem impossible (Episode 88 Level 4 will drive you crazy…I guarantee this) but they are all beatable if you play them for long enough. There are a hundred episodes which consist of five levels each and after you beat a column of ten episodes, you unlock a new “flavor” (you get a new color…you start out black). It’s extremely satisfying whenever you beat an extremely tough level and whenever you beat a column, you feel extremely proud of yourself (or at least I did). I strongly recommend this game because it’s not only an effective way to waste time but also just a very fun game (it’s not actually that fun…I really hated the game when I played it but I just had to beat it because I absolutely hate not finishing things…some people think I have OCD). However, if you’re a student and are entering a very important year, I strong suggest you not download this game because it is extremely addictive and you will find yourself playing this game instead of doing work. If you’re looking for a free game that is a great time waster, then the N Game may be exactly what you’re looking for.  If you are compelled to download this game after reading my review, then go to this website and enjoy wasting/effectively using a good portion of your next 4-6 months: http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html

    We know you have OCD Malcolm. I mean, you pour syrup in each hole of you waffles, cut off the rounded parts so it forms a square, then cut it into rows and then you finally eat. Now tell me that’s not OCD.
