Cmd-N typically just opens a new window in the current instance. Use cmd-tab or look in the Dock, and you'll see you still only have one instance of your program running. Explicitly invoking the executable inside the .app bundle will produce a separate instance -- you can see on cmd-tab that you have two instances running.
