Perhaps you've heard of N+. It's been covered only a teeny bit here on DS Fanboy, so it's pretty
Your miniature ninja is blessed with amazing speed and skill, though it comes at a heavy price: a lifespan of precisely 1.5 minutes. As you might imagine, this makes N+ perfect for quick bursts of play, as you'll never spend more than a few minutes trying to clear a set of levels. Sound interesting? Stab that big button down there and come see why N+ is a beautiful thing indeed if you're looking for some quick ninja-flavored challenge in your daily commute.

wasn't it featured on "bury the shovelware"?

Different columns by different columnists.

"And considering the game runs for twenty bucks on Amazon and most major retailers, why not pick it up? A single Benjamin isn't hard to give up when you consider the staggering amount of levels and the infinite possibilities allowed by a level editor and online sharing of custom content."
why give up a Benjamin when you can plop down a twenty?

Hah! I wish I had some witty response to that, but I can offer only my overwhelming shame.
Really, I'm not sure why I wrote that. Thanks for the catch! I'm going to go stare at the contents of my wallet (no Benjamins, unfortunately) for the next hour or so.

I have N+ on both Xbox Live Arcade and DS. It really is a great game and even has a pretty awesome online community dedicated to making new maps and what not.
Only thing that kind of bugs me is that the XBLA version is $10 and the DS is $20 but I'm assuming that's because it's not a digital download.

N+ is an unnaturally infuriating game, there have been times when I just wanted to throw my DS across the room while playing...:P More than once I've spent about 30 minutes trying to clear a level. You really have to get your movements down. Not for the faint of heart.
