Very great game that I've been waiting on for quite some time. As a fan of the original N, having this version on the PC is like a homecoming of sorts. This is truly the perfection of platforming and of movement. Might as well write some pros and cons for anyone who wants to read them.

Pros:
Great Soundtrack
Many different color schemes
Genuinely challenging levels (generally not due to "troll design" or controls being difficult)
Intuitive controls
Sublime level design
Local Multiplayer can be extremely fun
Hundreds of hours of content
Minimalist aesthetic makes it easy to understand what's going on, even when many things can be happening.
It "feels" great: the momentum, the movement, the platforming, the design all come together for one cohesive, fun experience.

Neutrals:
Can take a bit of getting used to the momentum and basic mechanics (a bit different from most platformers) if you haven't played N (which is free on the web), but N++ has a series of tutorial levels that help you grasp the core mechanics and features of the game much better than N did. Pro-tip: read the level titles!

Cons:
More people don't already own this game.

Overall: I thoroughly enjoy this game and would highly recommend anyone even remotely interested in this game, or any fans of platformers in general, to pick this gem up (it's only $12 until the 1st!).
