Hey Nitromian's
Great news, our second mobile release 8Bit Doves is due for release Tomorrow on iOS and Android devices (Windows devices to follow shortly). You can support Nitrome by retweeting using #8bitDoves and sharing trailers with your friends.
We are currently putting the finishing touches to a snazzy new trailer and website for it now.
Until the big launch tomorrow. Happy gaming and have a great day!
Hi Nitromians!
We chose Steam Rogue GB as this week's Pixel Love game!
We really enjoyed this one, it has a simple idea, get to the goal before you run out of steam!
The graphics are wonderful and have a great colour palette (something we have come to expect from Adventure Islands games!).
Also, apologies for the late post. We did launch this one yesterday, but there was a problem in the pixellovegames.com system. It wouldn't show the icon. That's been fixed this morning!
Have fun everyone!
We'll bring you another Pixel Love game next week!
Hi Nitromians!
We have got two brand new avatars hidden inside the Oodle Trouble skin... can you find them!?
Have fun!
Hi Nitromians,
We'd like to let people know that our skin is work that was inspired by a piece of fan art created by Frostyflytrap. I didn't realise when I'd originally launched the skin, apologies!
We thought it was a cool concept and based a skin around the idea, you can see the original fan art here.
Thanks Frostyflytrap! :)
We should be adding some avatars to the skin some time today, so be sure come back a bit later to search for them!
If you have any fan art related to Nitrome, Nitrome characters or even Nitrome music, feel free to send it in! Who knows, we may feature it in the blog, or like this piece, use it as inspiration for something on the site!
Hi Nitromians!
As you can see, we've got a brand new website skin featuring characters from our Oodlegobs and Rubble Trouble games. We call it... ...Oodle Trouble!
We really like the way the Oodlegobs are climbing up to grab hold of the helicopter.
What do you think of the new web skin and colour scheme?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Today's Pixel Love game is Caverns of IO by Merrak. The game is very addictive with it's well known control method and retro looking ASCII maps. Using your WASD keys to fire and dispatch enemy whilst using your cursor (Arrow) keys to move around the environments, you can explore different strategies when facing the enemy.
When battling with the "purple zeroes", we found that attrition was the best way to go. Let them run their energy levels low, dodge their fire then go on the offensive!
Have fun everyone, we'll bring you another Pixel Love game next week!
Hey Nitromians,
It's Friday again so we thought we'd update you with a juicy titbit of news. Our upcoming mobile game 8Bit Doves is fast approaching the end zone.
Check out our quick vine video of a level from the games last pack entitled "Nightmare". This pack also introduces one of the many new features of the game 'Boost tiles'. Which as you see make you go lightening fast - (sorry for the pun)
You may also notice in the video that the device has changed again as it is now playable in tablet form.
We have now finished making all of the levels and are currently testing on multiple devices, fixing bugs, adding a few additional sounds, and making the levels pretty.
We hope that you are as excited as we are to see another Nitrome game on your devices.
Until next week, happy gaming and have a great weekend.
Hey Nitromians,
We thought we'd share a super quick update on 8Bit Doves progress. Take a sneak peak at a level in the 2nd pack with a brand new element, moving walls... dum dum dum!
The release will include three packs in total, the second of which is called Deep Sleep. These packs will include a whole bunch of new level features as-well. (Notice the new handy sideways bed takeoff anyone?)
Anyway we didn't want to spoil too much. But we are happy to report that progress is going rather well so far.
No release date yet though before you ask ;)
There should be more news and small updates on 8Bit Doves nearer to its release.
pixellovegames.com is now live!
As you all know, we really love pixel art.
About 2 years ago, we decided to highlight the best pixel games from around the web made by other people every Monday. This formed the basis of what is now known as "Pixel Love".
We noticed some things that we wanted to change when we initially created Pixel Love.
Things we noticed and wanted to improve:
No list of games to choose from. You needed to use the search box/wiki We could only support flash games which ruled out a lot of awesome pixel content made in other formats After the games initial feature, it would be buried under blog posts and other content getting hidden from view.We have now addressed these issues.
We are pleased to present Pixel Love Games!
You can now select games from a list directly below the game You can "heart" games You can share games You can "dim the lights" You can send us suggestions via email as to which game you think we should feature If you are a developer you can upload a game directly to the site and have us review it. You can order the games by earliest date / most hearts / most playsThanks for playing everyone!
Woah!
We've just noticed that there are now over 200,000 Nitrome Accounts activated on our website. That's really impressive!
A big thank you goes out to everyone that is supporting us by playing our games, following us on Facebook/Twitter, giving us feedback and helping us make Nitrome as great as we possibly can!
If you would like to keep up to date on all things Nitrome related, follow us on Twitter or on Facebook, and we'll do the rest!
Thanks again everyone, happy gaming!
