Two playerNS-Shaft is a shareware computer game that was originally produced in the late 1990s by Nagi-P Software for the Macintosh.
Gameplay
NS-Shaft is a platform game in which the player attempts to descend into a cave. There are two controls, which move the player to the left and the right. The platforms move up the screen at a constant rate. A ceiling of spikes hovers at the top of the screen. The goal is to fall from platform to platform rapidly enough to not be hit by the spikes, but slowly enough not to fall off the bottom of the screen. In this way, NS-Shaft is the exact opposite of its sister game, NS-Tower.
There are two ways to die: by hitting too many spikes and running out of health, or falling off the bottom of the screen. Hitting spikes (either on the ceiling, or on a platform) reduces the player's amount of health, while landing on an ordinary platform increases the player's health.
History
NS-Shaft was released in November, 1996. The latest versions are NS-Shaft 1.2 (English) and NS-Shaft 1.3 (Japanese). The "future projects" page on Nagi-P's website lists NS-Shaft for Windows, but this product has not been forthcoming.
