Hey Webmasters!

We have just started to distribute our 'block-busting' puzzle game, Rubble Trouble Tokyo!

We thought that we'd generously offer the chance for others to carefully take down buildings with Nitros, Grabbers and erm... Mecha-saurs! :)

You can now get Rubble Trouble Tokyo and many other Nitrome games for your site for free here!

Hi Nitromians!

This week we are introducing something a little different for you all!

From time to time, we are going to start highlighting pixel based games that we really love that have been created by some very talented developers outside of Nitrome! The future of this section depends on its reaction from you guys.

We are committed to keeping Nitrome about Nitrome games and we have no interest in turning Nitrome into a multi-developer arcade. At the same time, there is only a certain frequency that we can produce games to and we want to keep you all entertained.

So if you like this section we will try to put something up once a week and if it's very popular we'll try to come up with a way to house them away from the main Nitrome content.

This week's game is the incredible Super Puzzle Platformer! This game brings you an impressive mix of platforming and colour-match puzzling. We think this game is genius!

Our highest praise goes to Andrew Morrish the developer of this and many other great games

Hi Nitromians!

Wow Nice! There are now over 130,000 of you on our Facebook page! Thank you goes out to everyone for your support and for playing our games!

This week, we planned on bringing you something new and we wanted to show it off on a Monday. However, something that we didn't factor in was that we actually had a bank holiday on the Monday this week and we couldn't bring you the new feature!

Fear not! Next week we are bank holiday free and will be introducing this and also something else for you all so there will be at least two new things to check out - so stay tuned!

Until then, have a great weekend and we will see you next week! :D

Hi Nitromians!

It has been a while since we gave you the last update as to what is happening with the user accounts, so today I thought I would let you know what’s currently happening with our upcoming site features. I’ll also take this opportunity to let you know why it’s taking us a little longer than originally anticipated.

We have been experimenting with our ads lately to help us strike a reasonable balance in revenue whilst not adversely affecting your gaming experience.

One of the most obvious changes included adding the ‘balloon panel’ on our game pages. We are aware that it isn’t the prettiest solution for the time being, yet it has been a relatively quick way for us to help with our ad revenue whilst not hindering the games or your game play.

We know that we’ll be able to make much better use of the space when we introduce the next major site update, accounts!

The advertising issue has taken away some time from the development of really fun stuff, like user accounts, but it was very important.

We have also got a new member on the Nitrome team, Jack, and he will be taking care of our ads, freeing up time to focus on the site update.

I’m very happy to say that we are now currently back to work on the new site update, accounts and more features!

I have attached a preview of a new avatars section that will be included in the update. You may also notice that we will be including a search bar.

That’ll make it easier to find games, news and friends! :)

Here it is Nitromians!

The demo we promised this week is from our upcoming game Hot Air Jr!

We are really happy with the original Hot Air games and we have taken the concept of guiding your balloon through dangerous environments with your fan whilst also trying to give Hot Air Jr a nice balance in terms of difficulty.

Something we noticed in the original Hot Air games was just how unforgiving they were, so with that in mind, Hot Air Jr is being developed to give users some areas to rest and think about the obstacles ahead without always having to worry about the constant spikes! :)

We would really like to know what you all think of the game engine so far, as your feedback could help us make the game even better.

Please note that this demo arena is not a level from the final game. The arena has been created for you all to have some fun, get to know the controls and explore the game and the game engine!

Enjoy the demo and let us know what you think via Facebook, Twitter or Email!

Friday has arrived!

Well Nitromians, it's that time again where we get to let you all know about what's going to be happening next week at Nitrome!

We are going to be explaining more about the site update and also you can expect to see our second demo... however... you'll have to come back next week to find out which one game it is!

So until then, have a great weekend!

Hi Nitromians,

We are thrilled to see that you are all enjoying playing through our latest little puzzle game Gunbrick!

We noticed some issues after launch with the game whilst running in Internet Explorer 9. You should now all be able to play Gunbrick in icons and on the game page using Internet Explorer 9 now, be sure to clear the old game from your browser's cache!

We also thought it was slightly odd that, in the game page, there was actually no title screen to the game whilst all of our other games have title screens.

So there is now a title screen! :)

Hi Nitromians!

We've just added a brand new game release to our site and one that we have never spoke of until now... it's been a bit of a secret experimental project :)

This is our very first ever game that you can actually play within the icon itself, so you don't have to go to another page to play it. For those who prefer the games bigger, you can still play the game here at full size, but we recommend checking it out within the icon on the front page for the real teeny tiny affect!

Because the game had to fit within the icon, we have had to squeeze the game into just 50x50 pixels! It was both a lot of fun and a challenge to see what we could do within this limitation.

Ok so I guess we should tell you about Gunbrick itself! You control the gun-brick, a square block that can rotate left and right. One surface on the square block has a shield and the opposite side has a gun and by orienting yourself into the correct direction, you can shoot things, block things, shunt yourself sideways and even rocket jump!

Can you make it through the 10 challenging levels and pass the devilish boss?

How's that for a Friday Update? :)

Have a great weekend!

It has been a while since we talked about our upcoming Cave Chaos sequel so we thought we would give you a little update as well as a new little teaser shot.

This is not the game that is coming this week (stay tuned for that... a slight technical hitch has taken longer than expected to sort but we're sure to crack it soon enough) but it is now not far from being complete.

All the elements are in the game and almost all of the levels have been built so there’s not much more to do. We also wanted to give a little something to wet your appetite so check out the shot for a teaser of the games boss :)

Nitromians, guess what... Friday is here!

Well, it's been a bit of a quiet week in terms of blog posts and Facebook as I was off ill.

Now I'm back... ...with three posts!

Why not join us next week as we will hopefully be bringing you more than three posts. Who knows, we may very well release a brand new game! :D

Until then, have a great weekend!
