The problem of pinning down the critical point of strongly interacting matter\nstill puzzles the community. One of the answers suspected to emerge in the near\nfuture will surely come from NA61/SHINE - a fixed-target experiment aiming to\ndiscover the critical point as well as to study the properties of the onset of\ndeconfinement. This goal will be pursued by obtaining precise data on hadron\nproduction in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions in\na wide range of system size and collision energy.\n This contribution presents new results on inclusive spectra of identified\nhadrons and on fluctuations in inelastic p+p and Be+Be interactions at the SPS\nenergies. These are compared with the world data, in particular with the\ncorresponding measurements of NA49 for central Pb+Pb collisions as well as with\nsome model predictions.\n
