Hey Nitromians,
We have a little surprise for those of you who have been enjoying our infinite Platformer Platform Panic!
We are waiting for an update to be approved on the stores in which allows EVERY character to be upgraded with a special power to help you smash your high scores.
Each power will be tied to the character that you use and can drastically change the way in that you approach some of the rooms. For example Mario upon upgrading can hop on enemies and Radd Bradd has a nifty wall jump to reach higher coins and platforms.
Those of you without smart device need not worry, the update will also be going out on Nitrome.com for you to play around the same time.
There are 9 characters in total can you guess what some of the upgraded powers might be?
More news on the update just as soon as it's been approved for release.
happy gaming =)
Hi Nitromians,
Last week, we checked out the Pocket Gamer Connect (PG Connect) event. Mat was on a panel and got a chance to check out a lot of awesome projects that many great devs had been working on.
Whilst there, we also got a chance to show what we were making too. Check out Pocket Gamer's reaction to our new stuff, here!
Get a sneak peek at Nitrome's next iOS and Android games
Watch out for new titles to be available soon on your mobile device!
Today's pixel love game is Zoi: The Escape, made by GameSys!
This game had a pretty simple premise, navigate your character up the forming towers. This game starts pretty simply, by keeping the platforms moving in at a consistent speed and direction but things soon heat up.
Level 7 introduces speed and direction changes which really works on your awareness!
For such a simple premise, this game is very, very addictive!

Have fun Nitromians, we'll bring you another pixel love game next week!

Hey Nitromians,
Final blog post about Gunbrick before the big release tomorrow (we promise). We almost forgot that we haven’t even explained the controls to most of you and just how much of a good fit they are for a casually played but engaging mobile game.
It’s super simple really. Just swipe left or right to roll the gunbrick to either side. If you hold a swipe, it will continue to roll the way you started. Tap to shoot and hold your finger down to continuously fire. If you are facing sideways the recoil from your bullet will push you sideways. You’ll need this skill early on to traverse the landscape or dodge oncoming enemy fire . Fire against the ground to rocketjump and fly upwards. Useful to reach high ground and avoid lasers and mines.
It’s really as easy as that.
Check out the vine video for a super quick demo of the controls in action.
Until tomorrow, happy gaming. ;)
Hey Nitromians,
As Gunbrick is rolling out tomorrow for mobile, we wanted to give your ears a little treat with a snippet of the games music. There are 12(ish) tracks in total and we must say that in our humble opinion it is some of the best music we have ever had produced. It’s possibly even worth the price of the game just for the music alone!
Give it a listen here!
For those of you who don’t know, the music was produced by Eirik Suhrke producer of some of the most memorable tunes on mobile. Some of his works include Ridiculous Fishing, Spelunky and Super Crate Box. He also made a little tune for us in our latest game Platform Panic.
A neat little thing in Gunbrick is that the music starts after the protagonist has jumped into his brick and started the engine. It really makes it feel as though he has just switched the radio on and is thudding along to the music as he drives.
Keep your ears to the ground as Gunbrick heads your way tomorrow!

Hi Nitromians!
Today's Pixel Love choice is Pixel Quest!
This one is very addictive and boasts some very blocky chunky pixel designs that we thought looked stunning.
With all the news that we had to tell you all recently, we forgot to put up posts for the Pixel Love games!
If you have been playing on Pixel Love, you'd have noticed that we were still selecting and highlighting great pixel games over the Christmas holidays!
The games that you may have missed were:
We chose this one as we felt it was very fitting as an Christmas themed game. The game is wonderfully drawn and has some nice puzzle elements!
This one has some great isometric artwork and a lot of depth, we thought it would keep you all entertained for quite a while!
Have fun Nitromians, we'll bring you more Pixel Love next week!
