Hi Nitromians,
Our latest spooky offering Stumped is this weeks 'Friday Game' over on the Edge Magazine website! It's had a great write up
"Stumped is ultimately one of those games where victory comes from understanding that your own limitations may actually be strengths"
– Edge Magazine
Jay is games also gave us a warm review over on their site
"Stumped is a quick Halloween treat with plenty of puzzling problems to pounce upon."
– Jay is Games
Thanks for playing everyone!

Hi Nitromians!
We have released our brand new game Stumped just in time for Halloween!
Have fun navigating the severed foot through all of the laboratories that lay ahead! Oh, there is a catch.. you can only turn in one direction!
So what are you waiting for? Hop to it! :)
Hi Nitromians,
We have reached over 50,000 likes on our Facebook page, Hurray!! :D
Thanks goes out to everyone that is taking part in the Nitrome community. This really means a lot to us and we were absolutely ecstatic when we found out that the page had reached over 50,000 Nitromians!
If you would also like to take part and give us feedback, you can join us on Facebook, Twitter or you can send us an email.
Hi Nitromians!
This is a quick update to tell you (well you may already know!) about the website currently undergoing some cosmetic changes. This is mainly to do with the adverts.
Changes:
The site layout has been made slightly wider and there is now a new advert size.
The featured block on the left of the site now shows a selection of games rather than our social pages and video previews.
You can now like us directly from our website by clicking the 'Like' button in the new Facebook block on the right of the site.
You can watch our latest video directly in the videos block and can go through to the videos page by clicking on the 'more videos' button. We also have a link to our youtube channel on the menu bar above the new advert.
Those are the main changes to the site. We might not keep the site the way it is now as we are still trialling the layout. We have also fixed the 'new games' and 'classic games' sections found on our short game pages.
We have tried to make sure the new changes have a minimum impact on your gaming experience but if you find any bugs within the new layout, feel free to email us telling us the browser you used, what happened and we will do our best to fix the problems.
Hi Nitromians,

Hi Nitromians!
Edge have added to their collection of great articles covering flash game development. You can check them out over on their website.
There's some really interesting information in the articles and we feel they are well worth a read.
Also, we get mentioned in the second article :D

There should be another final article at some point today that may involve Nitrome but we are not too sure. We are sure it will be a good read nonetheless :)
UPDATE: Edge have now posted their final article in this flash gaming series on their site.

This is a quick website update.
As of the Steamlands Player Pack update, we are including the titles of the two newest games in their front page screenshots.
So now the Mega Mash and Steamlands Player Pack screenshots show their titles.
Steamlands Player Pack Released!
We are pleased to announce the release of our first ever player pack. This pack includes just as many levels as the original game (well, actually one short) for you to work your way through.
The levels feature the four new weapons that we added for you to play with and a lot of the levels made use of the final epic gun from the original game :)
We spent some time going through the levels to keep this update inline with the quality and pacing of the original. Many thanks to all those that contributed to the levels that made it into the game…
You really excelled yourselves with the quality that you gave us and we were thrilled to get so many levels to choose from. If your level didn’t make it into the pack, you may still find that your tanks made it into the new title screen which acts as a gallery of unused but often cool tanks… check out those cranes and Nitrome tanks (personal fav's) :)
We hope you like this player pack. We may do another one if we keep getting levels. If it’s popular, we may even add a dev mode in the odd game here and there in the future!
Hi Nitromians,
I want you to all know that I played every single one of your levels to see who would make the cut for the Player Pack. My sole criteria was fun. If it was fun, then it went in.
Although it’s a bit dull to drill for 5 minutes into a giant tank that says “Nitrome” (and there was more than one), it’s certainly not dull to watch that tank pass by on the title screen.
So even if your level didn’t make it in, you might still see your tanks roll by on the title screen for the Player Pack. Don’t be put off if you didn’t make it into the Player Pack this time round, keep trying, not everyone’s first levels are their best.
Thanks for all your contributions, you will all be credited in the Player Pack (if you didn’t send me your name, now’s a good time!).
Look out for the new Steamlands Player Pack coming soon to the website.

Hi Nitromians!
We are really happy to tell you all that our latest game Mega Mash has been turning quite a lot of heads since its release.
Edge Magazine has declared it as their last week's Friday Game which is great news!
"Videogames have mined nostalgia like this before – most notably in the likes of the DS’s extremely lovable Retro Game Challenge – but rarely with this much sophistication, and such an unusual level of clear-headed intelligence."
– Edge Magazine
It has had its own post over on Kotaku too which is, we think, our first game to appear over there, so thanks Mike!
"It's a gorgeous symphony of old school gaming goodness, all at once."
– Kotaku
Indie Games gave us a great write up while choosing Mega Mash in their browser game pick.
"One minute, you could be a jubilant-looking bunny and the next, an interstellar space ship."
– Inde Games
Jay is Games have also wrote a great review on Mega Mash!
"Creative, good-looking, and retro enough to make even the most nostalgic of gamers shed a tear. Mega Mash is one glitchy game cartridge you won't mind firing up."
– Jay is Games
We are really happy that the game has been so well received by everyone! A big thank you also goes out to all of you Nitromians for playing our games, you're awesome! :D
