Hi Nitromians,
we are in the office now and we have just been onto both Google Play and the Apple App Store and hit the launch buttons. They could take a few hours to actually turn up on the store but feel free to start hammering the refresh button on your store of choice if you want to be first :)
Which store will launch first? Which Nitromian will be the first to download it? Who will be the first to show they have it with one of the new Avatars? Soooooo exciting
Hi Nitromians,
with only 5 more days to go we felt it was a good time to start a countdown for the Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage android release! We hope you are all excited... it has been a lot of hard work but we hope you will agree it was worth it.
It will also be the launch day for the Kraken update on iOS (and yes it is in the Android build too). Anyone who has an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch that has not already downloaded the game can do so here.
So look to the side panel and count down with us for the release next Wednesday!
We know we are being very Icebreaker news heavy at the moment so for anyone not as into Icebreaker (shame on you!) we have lots of other interesting things that we have been working on too including new flash games and we'll start sharing once we get Icebreaker out :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Hey Nitromians,
We have placed two new avatars in the Ditto site skin, can you find them?

They're a bit evil :)
Good luck everyone. How many avatars have you collected so far?
Hey Nitromians,
For those of you who haven’t noticed, we have just released a BRAND NEW SKIN!
We thought that our last skin was a little out dated, being a winter theme and all. So we have made a brand new Ditto based background for you all.
Why Ditto? I hear you ask. Well... in a nutshell, it’s one of our latest games and one that we are particularly proud of. For those of you who missed the game you can play Ditto here.
You can change the website background, view the full skin, or even download it by visiting the skin page here: http://www.nitrome.com/skins/
Are there any other games that you would like to see have their own skin?
We hope you enjoy it :)
Hi Nitromians!
We've got a great Pixel Love game for you today, Cathode Raybits!
WARNING: There is some profanity from the outset of this game so play at your own discretion!
If you enjoyed playing Mega Man, we think you'll really like this one. The artwork looks fantastic and the sounds are authentic to the era, giving us some real nostalgia. Be warned, this game is really difficult! :)
Have fun everyone, we'll bring you another Pixel Love game next week!
Hi Nitromians,
Guess what we just had delivered to Nitrome Towers? Our Pocket Gamer Awards….Horray! We are all super thrilled to get our first proper award for a mobile game. They are super heavy glass based awards and look really pretty on the shelf J For those who missed the earlier post we managed to win ‘Best Casual/Puzzle Game’, ‘iOS Game of the year’ and the big one ‘Overall Game of the Year’. Thanks again to Pocket Gamer and everyone who voted for us!
Apple just posted their second Indie Game showcase to their editorial section and this time it features Kumobius who are best known on the app store for their hit game Duet and their pixelrific Time Surfer an Beans Quest.
More relevant to Nitrome is that they very kindly chose Icebreaker as one of their favourite games which is highlighted in the piece. Always awesome to get in the App Store editorial section! Thanks Kumobius!
Hi Nitromians,
We are finally ready to reveal the release date for Icebreaker on Google Play and Android and the launch of the Kraken pack update accross both Android and iOS!
Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage and the Kraken update will be available on May the 7th!
Not long to go J
Hey Nitromians,
With our HUGE Icebreaker update now submitted to stores and under review. We thought we would share a something AWESOME whilst we wait. That something being ‘Delicious Caviar’ of course...
This has got to be one of the coolest and playful additions to the new Kraken pack yet. Giant caviar (fish eggs) can be found deep within the body of the giant sea beast. They’re pop-able like bubble wrap, stick to almost anything, they can fire from cannons, build bridges, work as safety nets... kinda useful no?
On a further note:
For those of you who missed our announcement on Thursday. The update has been submitted for review on the stores (Play, Amazon and App Store). Just to give you all a rough timeframe, the stores give a guide of up to a maximum of two weeks to review an app. When Icebreaker has been given the go ahead by these, then we can finally let you guys know a release date.
As we have previously mentioned, we want to make as big as splash as possible with Icebreaker: A Viking voyage and keep updates in sync. So we want the big update to be a simultaneous launch across Android, iOS and Amazon stores.
More news on the release and update of Icebreaker when it becomes available.
