N++ News

[p][/p][p]Announcing TEN++, a big free update to celebrate the 10th anniversary of N++! [/p][p]
[/p][p]It's hard to believe it's been ten entire years since N++ was first released -- it seems like a lifetime ago, but also yesterday. We're really proud to have realized the definitive version of our take on hardcore parkour platforming, and are so happy that it has resonated with so many of you. [/p][p]We wanted to thank everyone for playing, because we've really enjoyed all the streams, videos, speedruns, tournaments, levels and everything else that you've all made over the last decade. It's been incredibly rewarding to see everyone's creativity and enthusiasm.[/p][p]
[/p][p]To celebrate, we made you all a gift: some super hard super-secret Solo levels, a lot of quite hard multiplayer levels, a bunch of new colour schemes, and a few assorted bugfixes. Some of these levels are so challenging that it'll take you ten more years to beat them! ;) [/p][p]We also made some cool new merch if you're into that sort of thing:[/p][p][/p][p]https://www.etsy.com/shop/metanet/[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p]Check out more details on our blog: [/p][p]https://www.metanetsoftware.com/blog[/p][p][/p][p]and, BIG NEWS:[/p][p]We're working on something we think you'll be very interested in! Please sign up here to be among the first to hear about it: [/p][p]https://www.metanetsoftware.com/newgame[/p][p][/p][p]We'll even include some exclusive details just for newsletter subscribers! oooooh[/p]

Some of the copyrights on the soundtrack have expired, so we had to remove them and rebuild the soundtrack file.
In addition, we fixed the issue with the controls jumping all over the place when one player uses keyboard while another uses controller. On-screen control prompts will stay the same during in-game mode, unless Anarchy is enabled...

Good tidings! We know things are rough right now, and wanted to do a little something to keep people's spirits up. So, we're giving out some N++ keys!
We have over 40 keys to give out, spread among Steam (global), Xbox (global), Playstation (NA & EU), and Switch (NA, EU, & ANZ). For a chance to win one, pop by our discord server and drop a react in the #giveaway channel; winners will be drawn on April 18th.

Stay safe out there, and we hope to see you around soon!

Good news! Now, you can play N++ in a multitude of languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Chinese and Japanese. Hooray! There are a bunch of small improvements and a refresh for Mac in this update as well.

As you may know, N++ has over 1000 hours of gameplay goodness, plus a level editor, which means you could play literally forever, developing your ninja skills and getting better and better every day. Perfect for self-isolating! ;)

But did you know it's even more awesome with more than one ninja?! It's true! Try teaming up with a friend using Remote Play Together to play Solo, Co-op or Competitive MP. Hundreds of hours of multiplayer goodness awaits.

We hope that this update introduces N++ to a new audience around the world, and that the game brings a little joy to all of you, especially in these challenging times. Stay safe out there, all you ninjas! 

By the way, we thought it couldn't be done, but N++ has now been 100%'d by an incredible EIGHT (8) intrepid ninjas! Congratulations, all, that's an amazing achievement. If you've suddenly got some extra time on your hands, why not aim to be #9? 

If you do succeed at 100%ing the game, or just want a chill place to hang out, connect with the awesome N++ community on our discord server here: https://discord.gg/umGncGh
