Hi Nitromians!
We hope you have all have had a great weekend. We came in today and found out that Edge chose our latest game Swindler as 'The Friday Game' for last Friday. Awesome!
There is a great write up on the Edge Website, thanks Chris!
'I continue to be confused by Nitrome. Does this small web game studio secretly employ millions of genius designers and artists?' - Edge Online
We are really happy to see everyone enjoying this game and plan on bringing your more games soon!

Hi Nitromians!
We recently showed you a very cryptic image of a game that we currently have in development. We also told you that it is a follow up to a game that is in the first page of Heart Games.
We are very impressed by how many of you guessed the game name! That's right - it's going to be the next instalment to the Cave Chaos series!
Look out for this game coming soon!

Hi Nitromians,
Some of you have probably noticed that we are toying with the layout of the ads again on our game pages.
A while back, some advertising networks introduced a recommendation that required us to change our ad layout.
We weren't however able to run all of our networks within that layout and so the latest change is an attempt to rectify that.
Rest assured that if we decide to keep this layout, we will fill the space with something more useful and interesting! :)
Hi Nitromians!
Romain has fixed a few minor bugs that had been reported in our latest game Swindler!
The following bugs should now be fixed in v1.1:
- Score errors when applying a cord efficiency bonus have now been fixed.
- Typo fixed in the first information bubble.
- The player could be sent inside a wall if standing at the exact place that a new bomb grows. This has now been fixed
To ensure you are playing the correct version, Romain has added a version number to the title screen that states v1.1
Thanks for letting us know about the bugs, happy gaming!

Hi Nitromians!
Remember the preview image and teaser video we posted recently?
Well, we’re very pleased to announce the arrival of our newest game. Drop, tangle and roll your way through Swindler!
Many of you have been comparing it to one of our older games, Dangle. Its rope mechanics does indeed share some similarities, both with that and the final ninja series.
This time, however, we’ve added 360 degree twists to the proceedings. Now you can rotate the whole world around you to get where you’re going!
As always, your feedback is always appreciated. Comment us on Facebook, Twitter and trusty email. Game away!

Hi Nitromians!
This is probably our best piece of fan work to date!
Max Schramp and Duncan Smith have not only recreated one of our games, Skywire VIP, very closely in the 'Scratch' format but actually filled it with all new content that we would argue is of similar quality to the original.
Scratch for those that don’t know is: ‘a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.’ – Scratch Website
A quick word of note here, we would normally not condone someone building fan sequels to our games but this is a purely non-profit project that will have no impact with us in terms of piracy which is why we felt we could give the creators credit for their hard work.
We were so impressed with the project that we asked the creators if they would like to take it further as a fully fledged new release on our site. They were more than happy to take up our offer and have even implemented suggestions that we made to make the upcoming official version even better. It will have a full 100 new rounds, some of which were made especially for this release
Thanks again to Max and Duncan who have worked very hard on this project!
Look forward to this release coming soon!

Hi Nitromians!
We are working on a follow up to a game that is on the first page of the Most Hearted section!
The game has never had a sequel before! Can you guess which game we are developing?
Let us know if you have guessed what it is over on Facebook or Twitter!
Wow - we have some pretty awesome fan art to show you today Nitromians!
The art is in the form of... ...dominoes!
This video was made by a Nitromian that goes by the alias of 10asti10 on youtube as a tribute to Nitrome reaching 100 games!
The video title tells us that there are 3776 dominoes in the video, that must have taken a lot of time to set up! We thought this video was really cool!

Thanks a lot Alex, we can see the hard work that went into that design! :D
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. We will feature the best, most striking and most unusual pieces in our blog.
Hi Nitromians
You may remember this game was featured as a preview a few months back and finally we now have our game Rainbogeddon ready for you all to play!
This is Nitromes take on the maze munching genre established by Pacman and more recently reimagined by the likes of iOS game Forget-me-not and indeed Namco’s own Pacman C.E .
While we have kept the main aim of munching pixels to finish each level we have focused on adding variety to the format with different monster (ghost?) types, some new level elements and most notably by the inclusion of several power ups which vastly alter the gameplay!
Drill through the level with the drill attachment, teleport from enemies with a handy placement of your teleporter, create protective bubble zones to hide in and more.
Please note that this may be the only post this week due to Tom posting this from his holls. We will resume normal blog service however next week!
