Our Pixel Love game choice for today is Lost Yeti by Neutronized!

This game is now also available to buy on both iOS and Android devices!

In this demo version of Lost Yeti, there is a simple premise. You must guide the yeti to the chequered flag on each of the levels by moving the ice blocks whilst avoiding enemies and collecting the treats along the way.

Lost Yeti boasts the same high level of graphical polish and quality pixel art that we have come to expect from Neutronized. It has a really bouncy soundtrack and lively sound effects too.

This is a real joy to play, we hope you all enjoy this one as much as us!

Today is a good day! Why? Because today we have released a new game!

Ditto is an atmospheric puzzle platformer. You must travel through solving each room by using your skill and lateral thinking! All you have in your arsenal is run, jump and glide… but this is a far from simple game, where nothing is as it seems!

We feel that this game it a little different for us here at Nitrome. So put your headphones on, switch off the outside world and become immersed in the beautiful world of Ditto!

Hey Nitromians,

Take a peek at one of the many weird and wonderful beings you’ll encounter in our HUGE free upcoming Icebreaker update. The Fashion Conscious Crustaceans.

This massive update will include over 40 brand new levels, tons of cool new mechanics, story, characters, achievements and one of the best looking boss encounters we’ve ever produced. All set in the belly of a giant beast. It’s going to be seriously epic!

The plan is to have the Android release arrive alongside this update. So although you droid users have had to wait a long time, you’ll be happy to hear you won’t be left behind with the new content.

Please stay tuned for more Icebreaker news. =)

Hi Nitromians,

We have just seen some awesome fanart made by Shuey187 over on Youtube. The video is taken from a Tetris game where the Cuboy Icon slowly materializes from the lines of tetronimoes. We are really impressed with the idea, thanks for the effort in doing this piece!

If you have any fan art you have made about Nitrome please do send it in! We love everything we get sent especially if it is our work applied to something we have never seen before.

Wow Nitromians,

We can't belive we actually won, not 1 but 3 awards at the Pocket Gamer Awards!

We won Best Casual/Puzzle Game, Best iOS game and the big one... BEST OVERALL GAME!

This means we beat not only all games on mobile that were released this year but on handheld formats too like the 3DS and Playstation Vita. It is very humbling to think our little team could beat a Zelda game in an award!

A huge thankyou to all that voted for us!

Heres a link to the page with the winners and you can see what we were up against by clicking the 'Nominations' button:

Hi Nitromians!

Today's Pixel Love game is A Ghostly Journey by Daniel Haslop.

This game has got some great artwork, music and interesting game play elements. You take on the role of a ghost that has to avoid light sources and disappearing forever.

The fun really starts when you begin possessing people to further your journey. The game difficulty isn't too steep and makes for a forgiving and enjoyable play session.

A quick word of warning, there are a few pixelated blood splats here and there in this game, so we thought we'd warn you in advance!

Hi Nitromians,

we have been a little quiet this week but lets go out on a high! We have some new Ditto things to share with you. This week we have started dressing the levels for Ditto and wow it really made a big difference! We liked it so much that we thought we would show you a little before and after comparison of one of the early rooms.

You can see the video of the room in another of our funky little animated gif things and if you want to see it in more detail we have a link to side by side comparison shot that reveals all in crisp glory here:

Hi Nitromians!

Today's Pixel Love game comes in the form of the fast twitch reflex platformer Meat Boy by Edmund McMillen and Jonathan McEntee!

WARNING: THIS GAME CONTAINS CONTENT THAT WE FEEL IS SUITABLE FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE. 

Many of you may know that there is a Super Meat Boy game which is out for sale. We thought that it would be great to revisit it's humble Flash beginnings as it boasts a lot of what makes Super Meat Boy so great, although you get much more content from Super Meat Boy. Some levels are as hard as nails, but you get genuine satisfaction from completing them.

Your objective is to make your way to band-aid girl whilst being mindful of a multitude of obstacles and traps.

You can also create your own levels using the map editor to create even tougher challenges!

Have fun, we will bring you another Pixel Love game next week!

Hi Nitromians,

Ditto is now getting to a fairly advanced state so we felt it was time to show you all a little more with the aid of a funky animated gif.

This is the first time we have tied turning actual footage into a gif so it was an interesting test for that too. I think it worked well and this does not take a long time like a trailer so it could be a good way we will show you gameplay snippets in the future!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Nitromians,

Today we have made a couple of tweaks to the mobile visualisation on our site. More specifically the 'iPhone' tab now reads 'Mobile' with the phone screen adjusted to contain an Android and Apple logo.

We have also updated the 'iTrome' category in the blog to instead read 'Mobile'. Both of these have been adjusted to reflect the fact that, with the upcoming launch of Icebreaker to Android, we are focused on both the major mobile platforms.

With future mobile games we plan to launch to both iOS and Android at the same time so it made sense to make this change.

Today's Pixel Love game is a Ludum Dare 19 entry called Grand Mystic Quest of Discovery by Hulahulahest.

Firstly we need to mention the controls:
Arrow Keys: left/right = walk left/right
Arrow Keys: up/down = climb ladders, read scrolls, enter doors
Z = jump / close scrolls
Q = use spell #1 (once you have it)
W = use spell #2 (once you have it)
(Hold) A = use spell #3 (once you have it)
S = use spell #4 (once you have it)
Ctrl+F2  = restart

We have added the controls onto the game page too.

This game very accurately emulates the C64 graphic style and colour palette. It has very solid gameplay, the elements/spells all work great together to create a set of clever puzzles for you to solve.

Have fun everyone, we'll highlight another great pixel love game next week!

Hi Nitromians,

Further to our previous Icebreaker update we realised there is one new feature that we forgot to mention! (Sorry there was a lot already so we missed it). Since launch people have been asking for Icebreaker avatars and were happy to say that come the update you will (if you own the game) be able to use 8 different Avatars based on the mobile Icebreaker universe! 

The Avatars will be available from all versions of the game be it the upcoming Android version or iOS. Martin did a really good job on them so I think you will like them when you see them :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

This week's pixel love is a philosophical game titled The Company of Myself by Eli Piilonen.

The game makes great use of the passage of time as a mechanic to solve the puzzles. There are some brilliant ideas that have been explored in this game and that is why it is our Pixel Love choice. The puzzles are very cleverly laid out. The game gets even more entertaining as you start to encounter the levers to open gates.

The storyline is quite deep and makes you think almost as much as the puzzles themselves.

Have fun Nitromians. We'll bring you another Pixel Love next week!
