Favourite Nitrome Game of 2014?

Mon, 29 Dec 2014 10:14:25 GMT

Hi Nitromians!

2014 has been a great year for us in terms of the content that we have created and we all have our own personal favourites in the office. Here is a little Re-cap of all the games that we have made in 2014!

So we were wondering, out of all these titles, which was the one that you enjoyed the most? Also, it'd be really interesting to know what made it your Nitrome Game of the Year.

Have Fun!

Vote Now! #nitromejam

Thu, 12 Jun 2014 16:27:29 BST

Hey Nitromians,

We have now fixed all of the issues to do with the #nitromejam. This means that you can now finally login and place votes on all 31 Jam games.

http://www.nitrome.com/jam/

As some of you may have read we had some major issues with our system, so to keep it fair we have reset the votes.

You can vote for a game by logging in and selecting a 1-5 star rating underneath the game (5 stars being the best).
Vote on as many games as you like and you can even change your mind as many times as you like.

Winners will be announced on Friday (20^th) next week to give players a chance to try out all of the games.

Voting Begins. May the best man, Cat or Dog win ;)

Vote for the Jam Theme!

Tue, 27 May 2014 14:36:46 BST

Thanks for all of your theme suggestions for the imminent Nitrome Game Jam. We've been through them all and there were some really great suggestions... too many suggestions :)

Due to the shear volume, we have had to narrow them down to our favourite ten. In no particular order, here is the list of themes, vote now! You'll need to be logged in to your Nitrome account and only one vote per person will count.

Click on the theme below to vote!

Voting will end on 2nd June 09:15 GMT. We will post the winning theme in the blog and on the Nitrome Jam page.

Vote for Icebreaker!

Tue, 11 Feb 2014 16:07:29 GMT

Hi Nitromians,

were thrilled to announce that Pocket Gamer have placed Icebreaker in their list for not only best puzzle/casual game of the year, not only best iOS game of the year but also best Overall Game of the year! To be considered up against the best handheld titles is quite humbling!

This is a public vote so if you like Icebreaker and think it is worthy you can help us potentially win by casting your vote!

You can vote for us at the following link. Remember we are in the 'Best Puzzle/Casual Game','Best iOS Game' and 'Best Overall Game' catagories.

A big thankyou to everyone who chooses to support us and we will keep our fingers crossed for the results!

Flightless Support

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:03:04 GMT

Hi Nitromians!

We thought we would post a thank you to everyone that is currently voting and actively trying to help us Greenlight Flightless!

Mike Bithell, creator of the awesome game Thomas Was Alone, tweeted asking people to vote for our game.

It's great to see game developers that we respect helping us out like this. Thanks, Mike!

We have had a vast amount of great responses from the Steam audience, for whom this game will ultimately be made for, so a massive thank you to everyone that is up voting and discussing Flightless!

We must stress that we're still not there yet, we still need your support and votes to get this done!

So if you have a Steam account, enjoy our games and would like to see Flightless in your Steam games library, please up vote on our Greenlight Page!

Again, a massive thanks from all of us here at Nitrome!

EVERY vote and bit of support really does help!

There is still a long way to go yet and it’s currently 98% of the way to making it into the top 100 list of Greenlight games.

Steam have Greenlit 10 - 20+ games a month so far from the top of the top 100 list.

There will still be a way to go when we reach the top 100 but we will be able to keep you updated on how we progress in the coming months.

We can’t do this on our own, it’s down to YOU our fans who can make a real difference and get this game Greenlit and released.
