Hi Nitromians!
Today's Pixel Love game is Leaf Me Alone by Mark Foster and David Fenn
Leaf Me Alone was made for the Ludum Dare 'minimalist' theme!
The game is wonderful and reminds us a little bit of a cross between Fez and classic Zelda. We thoroughly enjoyed the chilled out atmosphere with the friendly open and roam-able levels in this one.
The way the game's simple puzzles are set out in the world make for a forgiving and intuitive play session.
Hey Nitromians!
We hope you are enjoying our colourful new puzzler Colour Blind. Just a quick question:
Has anybody managed to get the "awesume glasses" yet?
They are super secret and rather cool, just collect all the in-game coins to unlock them. Are you up to the challenge? ;)
Hey Nitromians!
We have just released our latest puzzle platformer, Colour Blind!
Solve the puzzles using the different colour palettes at your disposal and save your precious left eye from the dusty pirate clouds!

Have fun!
Hi Nitromians!
Do you like cleaning up your room!? We thought not! So forget what you think you knew about tidying up!
Today's Pixel Love game is Colossal Clean-Up by Underground Pixel and it's amazingly enjoyable!
It's a really manic time based clean 'em up. You will find yourself chucking loads of tiny blocks at the windows, clearing the floors easily with seconds to spare until it happens... All of a sudden that looming sofa resurfaces and comes flying out of your bag blocking the window! What now!? Better unblock it or find yourself another window!
The art style is really cool; we think your going to like this one :)

Have fun!
Hey Nitromians,
We thought that we'd update you with some more Icebreaker character goodness!
Check out our third update to take a closer look into the Icebreaker universe. Who is your favourite character of the bunch so far?
Icebreaker Update 12: Characters!
Get ready for a very exciting Icebreaker week next week, have a great weekend!
Did you know our upcoming game Icebreaker has God Powers in it? Well now you do so click through to find out more!
Let us know what you think of the God Powers we're giving you, and if you can think of better ones why not let us know (note: there is no way they will end up in initial release at this point, but hey it’s fun!)
Icebreaker Update 11: God Powers!
Hi Nitromians!
Today's Pixel Love game comes in the form of the gravity shifting, fast paced, action packed side scroller Quantum Corps!
We enjoyed the run and gun nature of this one and felt that the difficulty curve was intuitive to start off with making it easy to pick up the controls early on. It soon turns into a real challenge as you progress though! The artwork is impressive too.
Also, just a quick warning. There are some red pixels in this one! ;)
With that said, have fun trying not to fall off the screen!

We are a little late in posting this update as the site has been here since the Rovio Stars announcement. We have however been ironing a few things out under the hood with the site so it is now finally how we intended.
Icebreaker update 10: Website - Click Here!
The main thing is that it now displays correctly on an iPad and iPhone! This was quite a lot of work but finally we have it displaying less zoomed out and all of the animations now work!
Also, although it is a bank holiday weekend, we will still be bringing you a Pixel Love game next week on Monday, so remember to join us then!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Those of you following closely will have noticed that Icebreaker - A Viking Voyage has revived a new logo since the projects beginning. The new logo is the result of a few weeks experimenting between ourselves and Rovio. The aim was not to change the feel of the logo but to make it easier to read and more usable across all the marketing that was needed.

Hi Nitromians!
Today's Pixel Love game comes from a Ludum Dare entry titled This Is Not A Minimalist Game by Volute
The dialogue in this game is very humorous. You start the game as a player on a quest to collect 100 wizard heads to buy new stuff. Things soon take a very interesting turn!

So you read our huge news about having Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage published by Rovio Stars?
Update#7: Rovio Stars?
When we started Icebreaker we had no intention of using a publisher. We were not looking for a publisher and even though we had interest from several of the biggest publishers during its development it wasn't really what we wanted.
So what changed? Well nothing really... but there are exceptions to every rule. In the paid app market Rovio is king, they have taken their Angry Birds game and made it a phenomenon and every game they have released has gone on to be very successful. We have a huge respect for what they have built up and they are possibly the only party on the App store that we would and did jump at w…

Alongside the very exciting announcement that were working with the Angry Birds power house that is Rovio comes a brand new video. We closely worked with Rovio on this and as the previous video was very gameplay focused we felt a different direction was needed this time out.

We never could have achieved such cinema quality 3d on our own or done such cool voice acting! We're more than pleased with the results and think it echoes the offbeat humour of the game rather well!
May 14th, 2013 -- Espoo, Finland -- Rovio Entertainment announced the launch of its new mobile game publishing initiative, Rovio Stars, which will feature the best new games from talented and innovative developers.

We are still busy working away on Icebreaker! Despite the silence there have been 6 of the Nitrome crew busy on the game for quite some time and were making great progress! The game is just about complete now and to show just how close to complete we are we have upped the percentage bar to 99%!
Why is it not finished already? Well mainly it is just a lot of work to make such a huge game...it has just shy of 100 levels and they are packed with story secrets and variety!
There is also another reason however...something that has been going on behind the scenes since the beginning of this year...a secret! Woooo! We're going to be revealing just what that secret is TOMORROW and we hope it will surprise and excite a lot of you when …
