Double bubble, but I can't find it, is that a faux-pas?

i'm way, way, too tired to look it up right now, but this is about the third time that this has showed up as an FPP on MeFi. i know this because this is a good game, and i first ran into it here, and i laughed when someone (recently) posted it again. someone please take care of this. good night.

After a quick search for "ninja":

A recent double of the original N.

I'm waiting for the sequel to this, M, which will hopefully involve a bouncing, jumpy mongoose.

thank you.

Also, why is the link to some random browser version on someone who is not the authors' website (the game isn't even designed to be played in a browser)? The original is here, for reference.

To maybe add some value to this post, visit the N User Map Archive, NUMA, which has loads of great user-contributed N maps.

Along with the normal, playable levels, there's a whole category for 'DDA's (Don't Do Anything), maps where the designer has cleverly arranged all the level elements so that the level automagically plays itself. And someone's even made a map that acts as a 4-bit binary adder.

Great game. It's not very often someone comes up with a good original arcade-style game design anymore.

Well, I should have searched for 'ninja.' instead, I searched for the name of the swf, assuming that the rest of the url wasn't going to be much help. oh well.
