About N Gon

In this chaotic 2D physics-based roguelite platformer, players control "M," a small shape-shifting robot fighting for survival in a world constructed of hostile geometry. Every object, bullet, and enemy in the level behaves according to realistic momentum, gravity, and collision forces powered by the Matter.js physics engine. The goal is to maneuver through increasingly dangerous chambers, defeat massive bosses, and gather game-altering technologies to escape.

Your survival hinges on managing your current "Field" ability alongside an arsenal of unique weapons. Whether you are blasting enemies with a foam gun, launching bouncy super balls, or pinning enemies with a harpoon, you must constantly balance your momentum. Defeating bosses rewards you with specialized tech upgrades—ranging from skins like Tungsten Carbide and Nitinol to bizarre "junk" items—allowing you to create custom, synergized builds that bend the laws of physics to your advantage.

Controls

  • Move / Jump: Use W, A, S, D (or Arrow Keys) to run, jump, and double-jump. Press S to crouch or slide down ramps.
  • Aim & Fire: Aim with the mouse cursor and click the Left Mouse Button (or press F) to fire.
  • Field Ability: Click the Right Mouse Button (or press Space) to trigger your active physics field.
  • Swap Weapons: Press Q or E (or scroll the mouse wheel) to switch between your equipped guns.
  • Pause: Press P to pause the action and view your active tech upgrades.

Tips

  • Synergize Tech and Skins: Tech upgrades are the key to long runs. Pair movement-enhancing skins like Nitinol with high-damage weapons to bypass their speed penalties, or build around a defensive field to reflect projectiles.
  • Use Physics to Your Advantage: Let gravity and momentum do the work. Knock heavy blocks onto enemies, slide down steep slopes to build up speed, or bounce projectiles off walls to strike targets from safety.
  • Manage Your Field Usage: Your field is a powerful tool for deflection or movement, but using it drains your energy. Avoid spamming it; instead, save it for tight situations where you need to block bullets or slow down time.

N Gon FAQ

What is the role of the Physics Field in n-gon?
The field is an active ability activated with right-click or Space that manipulates the local physics, allowing you to slow time, push objects, or block incoming projectiles depending on your equipped field tech.
How do you unlock and use Tech upgrades?
Tech upgrades are passive perks and skins, such as Nitinol or Tungsten Carbide, obtained primarily by defeating bosses. They stack during a run to modify your movement, defense, and gun synergies.
Does n-gon have permanent progression?
Yes. While each run starts fresh due to permadeath mechanics, the game tracks your achievements, statistics, and unlocked features across runs in your browser's local storage.
