How do you play N?

[Brttrx]

It's a simple question. Give us your setup, are you sitting up, laying down, playing fast, slow, using both hands (for our shift key jumpers), but most importantly, are you pulling out before you finish playing N?

The best time I've ever played N was in the hot tub with my ex. She was screaming with pleasure, right? And I'm just sitting there while she did all the work, collecting every piece of gold. She really knew how to work a ninja.

[Vyacheslav]

Always pull out.

[Tunco]

On my desk, with an extra keyboard, on my laptop, while I'm on #n-highscores.

I was gonna be the first one to repost that, gloomp.

The way I play is just use the gambler strategy: one thing that works, again and again until I have to do something else or I get bored. Or I can't beat it after 100 tries.

You Have Achieved Transcendence - Beat a column while you beat your column. Finish it before you finish yourself.

[Leaff]

Sitting with my swivel chair backwards, leaned forwards, one hand on the arrows, others on alt+tab and writing on IRC. :D
I usually just try to make my runs look cool. Deaths and speed are not factors. :3

[moonlight]

Depends what mood, I could be in AGD mode or SR mode.

[Izzy]

AGD mode

Uh, it's a combination of fast and furious and the mood I'm in.

[squibbles]

Like many, I prefer to go fast and vigorously with my fingers.

Oh man. Aha. That is amazing.

[Limer]

S'all about getting as much gold as poss.

[Yoshimo]

Fast and Furios, with a lot of clever improv, and some scoping out at the beginning. Doesn't take long for me to find a good route.

Also, I use my fingers on my laptop.

[squibbles]

I should add that I have recently discovered the joy of playing N with a couple of people at the same time. Very fun.

[heatwave]

with gusto.

You win the thread.

*nods*

Agreed.

I find N relaxing, so I am no speedrunner; I just do whatever it takes to complete/AGD a level, and not worry about speed or coolness or other stuff like that.

[im_bad_at_n]

I play for the fun of it.

[Ad]

Let's just say that my ninja gets a good workout most days.

[Destiny]

I like to be tied up and dominated by the game.

[RandomDigits]

I sit at my table in my room with my laptop on it and I use shift(usually left shift) and I generally explore for the first few tries and then take shortcuts and either highscore or speedrun or just AGD it relatively fast. I rarely play slowly. Even when I'm playtesting my own maps. Which is why i make mostly hard maps.

Lately however, I don't even always play N; I'll just watch other people's demos sometimes XD

...and some scoping out at the beginning...

I read that as "scooping."

I don't know.
