Hey Nitromians,
Check out this really neat Nitrome Tribute fanart made by Gratteurdenez over on deviant art. We think its great, there has clearly been a lot of skill and effort here with so many characters involved.
You can check out a much larger version of it via this link
We really appreciate all of the fan-art we get. So if you have anything interesting you think deserves showcasing then please send it in via accounts, messaging, email or via the Nitrome Facebook Page.
Hi Nitromians!
This week's pixel love game is Sydney Hunter created by Keith Erickson of Studio Pina!
We really enjoyed this adventure game. The view distance was handled cleverly with the viewable area fading into a deep blue tone. It adds a real sense of urgency when trying to aim your boomerang attacks.
The music and sound effects fit in very well with this game and accent the retro graphics elegantly. There is a lot of fun to be had boomeranging the enemies and collecting the items in this one!

Have fun! We'll see you next Monday for more Pixel Love!
Hey Nitromians!
Here's a little more info regarding our Touchy Game Controller update that we're working on.
As we mentioned before, the app will be updated shortly. In conjunction with the update, we will be adding a lot more games to the Touchy library, with even more to come shortly afterwards.
Oh and we are going to add another free game to play with the app!
Here's an image of the controller skin for Test Subject Green... 'cause we love it!
Have a great weekend everyone, we'll see you all next week!
Hi Everyone!

The more we know about your experiences, the better we can diagnose problems. Try to give us your operating system and browser version when reporting bugs so that we can better pin point errors.

Hi Nitromians!
It has been a while since we posted any fan art, so we thought that today we'd share some cool art that we found.
Made by a Nitromian that goes by the name Tooniefox on deviantart, this piece of fan art features Parasite from our Parasite Game.
We think that the detail and effort that has gone into this has really paid off, we especially like the colour choices!
Thanks Tooniefox, It's awesome!
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.
So in this wonderful world wide web of ours Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage is still getting some lovely reviews and comments.
We came across a review in the Entertainment section of metro.co.uk and also this in the Big Fish Games blog page.
We are very grateful for the positive reviews and comments. Every little bit helps us to achieve success in a highly competitive market and rewards us all with a little bit of glee every time we find something new!
Those lovely people at GamesMaster Magazine have included a glowing review of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage in their latest edition that hit the UK newsagent shelves a couple of days ago.
GamesMaster magazine is a well respected multi-format videogame magazine that has been running for over 20 years now. We all have fond memories of first buying the magazine in our younger years and continue to do so now. So we are really chuffed to see Icebreaker receive such a favourable review.
So if you fancy it, (and you live in the UK) pop down to your local newsagent and pick up a copy.
For all of you that have Android devices, we wanted to let you know that we have been working on the Android version of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage!

Hi Nitromians!
We have fixed four of our games that had the wrong avatars in them. The games had been pointed out to us on Facebook. We would just like to say that the avatars are now in their correct games. You should now be able to collect those avatars!
Please clear your browser's cache to be sure that you get the latest version of our games.
Thanks for pointing out this issue to us. If you have any more bugs, please report them. It all goes towards making Nitrome better!
Happy gaming!
Hi Nitromians!
We are back featuring pixel love games on Mondays once again!
To kick things off this week, we thought we'd share this minimal game by Zapped Cow.
We are not too sure as to what the title of this one actually is, but we think that it's very cool and still deserves to be featured all the same.
The puzzles are clean, well designed and enjoyable to solve. You'll need to unlock the 'Gates' in the correct order whilst avoiding enemy blocks to clear each of the levels!
We'll see you next week for more Pixel Love!
Hi Nitromians!
Accounts have been officially launched! Hurray!
Sorry about the false start we had last week, we tried our best to deliver but there was an overwhelming amount of issues!
We'll be keeping an eye on the system for any bugs that arise and will be adjusting things accordingly as we go. We want to make this the best experience that we can!
If you have any problems whilst navigating the site or playing games, please let us know in the comments below, on Facebook or even send us a private message to us on here :)
Thanks again for your support Nitromians!
Have a great weekend!
Hi Nitromians!
We are currently ready to start testing out our game pages with account features!
You may have noticed that some of the games will now have the 'Avatar Ticker' in them ready for avatar features, if you do not see them yet, please clear your cache!
We are aware that some visitors have reported being re-routed through to our registration page when trying to play a game on Nitrome, this shouldn't have happened and we are still trying to find the cause of this.
If the bug still happens for you, please report it to us on our Facebook page. This is one of those bugs that we can't really reproduce without first going live on the game pages.
Thanks again for your patience and for helping us iron out those pesky bugs! :)
Hi Nitromians,
Some of you may have noticed that we briefly launched accounts earlier today. Well we are sorry to say that due to an overwhelming level of bugs that came up at launch we have had to take them back down while we investigate what went wrong. We are sorry to disappoint you with this and we did fully intend to have ready for to you this week.
Believe us when we say your not as sorry as us.
The good news is that we feel fairly positive that whatever went wrong should be sortable by early next week... maybe even Monday with a bit of luck. So cross your fingers for us and we will see you all next week. We should also have some more Touchy news regarding the 2.0 update coming soon and some news for what we have been working on post-launch with Icebreaker!

Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage is getting it's fair share of coverage as of late and we are very happy to see it so well received!
Here are some cool quotes from recent media coverage:
"Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage is solid physics-based puzzle game packed with content. The stylized graphics and humorous moments add charm, but this game would work based on its mechanics and level design alone."
- digitaltrends.com
"The graphics are an interesting combination of retro and modern. It's slightly pixelated, but all the animations and gameplay are super-smooth. Icebreaker is a bit like a high-resolution SNES game."
- pcmag.com
"Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage reinvigorates the physics puzzle genre, and is a definite chip off the old ice bl…
