N++ Contesque: Steam Trading Cards!
20 Jul / by: M&R / 1 comments / tags : contesque,creativity,fun fun funIt’s that time again…time for another N++ contesque! As you may know, we’re working on porting N++ to Steam, and the release is coming soonish. In order to help make the Steam version of N++ more awesome, we want to support Steam Trading Cards.

22 Apr / by: M&R / 28 comments /First of all, we have a few new winners for Contesque #3, at long last. The first win goes out to Duncan, who sent us a whole bunch of drawings of N+ costumes. We chose the one we thought was the most fun 🙂 Duncan’s Ninja Mask And next, we have to share what may […]
A few years ago, at Slamdance, we were introduced to a game we liked very much, called Rumble Box. A beat-em-up game with characters made of cubes and spheres, cel-shaded graphics and a cool mechanic whereby the parts of your bested opponents assist you in your climb to the top — what’s not to like?
