You should consider changing name of your game. It is a good idea but it is very hard for people to find it online, to discuss it as it is called only "N" and similar. It should have more sounding name and it would be really popular (much more than now). I think that it is still not so known only because of the name...

I still see the first result as Metanet Software.

First two results are about N, it shouldn't be too difficult to find the game on google.

That means that people will find our game just by typing a letter of the alphabet. Therefore, the game would be less known by changing its name.

Yes, because when a ninja gets smacked a hundred feet into the air by an electrically charged sky-blue octagon, he is content with the world.

That was just oozing sarcasm. Either you're being really sarcastic, or you need to go back to bed.

...makes me hyper and speak louder. Nice try. :D

God people take silly posts too seriously. Like, yes. Image

'N' is a simple game... so a simple name fits it perfectly.

What the heck would they change it to? "Adventures of Ninja dude"? "Max, NinjaMan"?
"The Way of the Ninja"?

Wait, that's not half bad... except that's what the name is short for. How do I know this? The "Download N" links on MetanetSoftware.com goes to TheWayOfTheNinja.org - which, as I suggested a moment ago, is the game's extended name.

You, sir, are a genius.

They're running v1.3, so probably not.
That would be something to ask M&R, but with 22367833 hits I doubt they would care. A link to Metanet would be nice though, so people can actually find the whole game.
