Hi Nitromians,

In an unexpected move, Valve Greenlit 100 new games for distribution on their Steam platform. The great news is that our title Flightless was one of them!

We have been wavering between position 70 and position 80 for most of the 10 months that it has been on Greenlight, so to say it came as a surprise to us is a bit of an understatement! 

We fully expect that this event will prompt lots of new questions like 'when' and 'how much' and 'give us an update' but please try to refrain. With this coming rather out of the blue we're sorry but we really do not have any new information to share with you all at this time. The fact is that it had been stuck in Greenlight for so long that we had half given up on the project. We will update you when we know what we ourselves are doing. 

In the meantime we hope you are as thrilled as we are that Flightless finally got Greenlit. If you don’t know what we are talking about then you can try the demo of Flightless for free here.

Hi Nitromians!

Todays Pixel Love game is Soom by Aimar.

Although the game starts with a rather dark intro, it has actually been a real joy to play.

We really enjoyed the varied mechanics in this puzzle platformer and found ourselves scratching our heads at the interesting ways we needed to fold space to pass the levels.

You can expect portal like teleportation, split second avoidance and some tricky yet satisfying puzzles to solve.

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

Until then have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Nitromians!

We have been hot on the heels of some more bugs here at Nitrome. This is just a quick recap for everyone to see what changes have been made :)

Bug List

• Fixed the multi-day login badges, they should now appear in your badges collection
• Nitrome account had an "add friend" button when we are already your friend. It should now be replaced with a remove friend button.
• Some messages in the modal (alert message box) were displaying incorrectly. They should now work as expected.
• Edit Profile link sometimes sent a user to their friends page. This should now be fixed.
• Prevention for unexpected log out's is now in place.

Please report to us if you still get logged out unnexpectedly. It is a tough issue to fix, but we will do everything we can with the information we get on this issue.

Thanks for helping out!

Well well well... I think the word you are looking for is "Oops!"

We've now updated Twin Shot 2 to work with the updated Touchy app.

We missed that one when we rolled out the update! Also we fixed the Touchy bug within the game that prevented you from using the cloud vehicles.

Hi Nitromians!

Today, we've chosen Once in the Cave as our choice for Pixel Love!

We like the art style in this one. You play as a wizard casting spells of fire and ice to make it through the levels.

The controls have real ease of use allowing the player to fluidly move around the levels. Once in the Cave feels great to play.

Have fun, we will see you next Monday for more Pixel Love!

It’s Friday and what does that mean… well something slightly different this time.

We are very proud to announce that the Nitrome Touchy App on iTunes and Google Play has been updated. So what does that mean to you the humble gamer? Well you can check out the video... or read on, or why not do both!!!

The Touchy technology has been updated and now we feel that the Touchy dpad is the best touch screen dpad interface on the market! All of our previous dpad based Touchy games have been updated. Also we must add that there is now wide screen support for iPhone5 and various Android devices. 

And that’s not all! We have 5 more games that have been added to the Nitrome Touchy Catalogue. They are as follows:

• Test Subject Blue
• Test Subject Green
• Test Subject Complete
• Test Subject Arena
• Colour Blind

Also to celebrate all this wonderfulness that is the Nitrome Touchy App, we have made Double Edged free to play with Touchy! That’s right now you and 3 of your friends can play Double Edged together… it’s the best way by far!

We are already working on more Touchy goodness for your enjoyment that we will announce over the coming weeks but for now get back into Touchy and if you haven’t already, go download it from the iTunes App Store or the Google Play Store.

Have a good weekend and happy gaming!

It's Wednesday already! Where has the week gone!

So today we wanted to tell you guys that we're working on a sequel to Test Subject Arena, yes... we are making Test Subject Arena 2!!! And this time you get to choose from 8 characters to play as!

So we will tell you more about this new game soon enough but for now we thought we’d wet your appetites by showing you a couple of new character animations from the game.

Have a good day all!

Hi Nitromians!

Today's Pixel Love game is Running Warrior by Fliptic. We really love the art style in Fliptic games, and this is no exception.

Run your way through the environment slaying enemies gaining coins and upgrading your warrior. As simple as the gameplay sounds, it is a real joy to play and the simplicity adds to that enjoyment.

Play Running Warrior!

Have fun, and we'll see you next week for more Pixel Love!

As a lot of you are probably hoping or assuming, we are indeed working on more levels for Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage which will be contained in a swanky new pack!

We hinted at what the level pack will be in the initial release and as you can see from the pack shot, it will be to do with a giant sea beast with tentacles and all that sort of cool stuff! Actually taking it a step further it will be set 'inside' the body of the huge beast which will consume you in a very cool and hard to program cut scene at the beginning! ...excited yet?

Exciting news Nitromians!

We have not one but TWO updates currently being worked on for Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage. One of those is the next level pack, which is coming along very nicely (more news on that later). Before the pack update however we have another update which is pretty special in its own right. There will be various little tweaks to the main game in the update, but the major element we are adding is achievements. However in the usual Nitrome fashion, we are approaching it slightly differently to everyone else.

The Achievements will be recorded in game centre (and Google Play Games when the Android version hits), but the actual system is much more integrated into the game world. Meaning if you don’t want to use game centre for any reason they’ll function fine and you can still collect them all.

Hey everyone,

We have fixed some more account bugs! Just to keep you all up to date with what we feel has been fixed, check out this list.

Account Bug Fixes:

• Private Messages should now display correctly. Some people have reported to us that their messages were disappearing for no reason. This should now be resolved! 
• Unhearting games should also work as expected. If you have tried to unheart a game and it didn't remove itself from your list, try hearting and unhearting it again and it should work.
• The "Touchy" skin has also been fixed. We received reports that the skin was not working as intended and was only showing a small tile when viewed on the "view skin" page. This should now be working properly.

We still have more bugs to fix, thanks to everyone for reporting them to us!

As always, if you have any more issues with accounts that you'd like to share with us, feel free to send a message, write a comment or tell us on our Facebook Page!
