Hi Nitromians,
We are thrilled to announce that our very talented friends at Halfbot are going to be participating in the Nitrome Jam! If you don't know them they are the guys that made the very awesome 'the Blocks Cometh' on iPhone and also helped Vlambeer bring the equally awesome 'Super Crate Box' to iOS to boot!
In case your wondering the image used here is from Halfbots new game 'Bullet Age'. It looks set to take the studio to a whole new level of awesomeness so check it out if you haven't already.
We have had lots and lots of people join the jam so far and while many of them may just be over enthusiastic to sign up we know that within that there are going to be some great games for sure that would not exist if we had not opened the jam to people outside of Nitrome. We will continue to highlight some of the people who commit to being involved in Nitrome Jam 2014 as we run up to the event!
Hey Nitromians,
The Nitrome Game Jam webpage is now live!
The page includes details regarding rules, technology and size restrictions of your entry’s.
Anyone who would like to participate in the Nitrome Game Jam can head over to the site and sign up now.
Finally were asking for a couple of volunteers...
All of the Nitrome staff will be involved making the games, but we would really love to let you all know what's happening as it happens. Therefore if anyone is interested and able to come to the Nitrome office that week and maybe take some photos and write some blog posts please get in touch. Support@nitrome.com
You need to be over 18 and we may need to meet you beforehand so we can show you the ropes (please note this is a first come first served basis). On the other hand if no one is interested then we’ll just post as often as we can but it may be a quieter week.
Have a great weekend =)

Hi Nitromians,
we are in the office now and we have just been onto both Google Play and the Apple App Store and hit the launch buttons. They could take a few hours to actually turn up on the store but feel free to start hammering the refresh button on your store of choice if you want to be first :)
Which store will launch first? Which Nitromian will be the first to download it? Who will be the first to show they have it with one of the new Avatars? Soooooo exciting
Hi Nitromians,
with only 5 more days to go we felt it was a good time to start a countdown for the Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage android release! We hope you are all excited... it has been a lot of hard work but we hope you will agree it was worth it.
It will also be the launch day for the Kraken update on iOS (and yes it is in the Android build too). Anyone who has an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch that has not already downloaded the game can do so here.
So look to the side panel and count down with us for the release next Wednesday!
We know we are being very Icebreaker news heavy at the moment so for anyone not as into Icebreaker (shame on you!) we have lots of other interesting things that we have been working on too including new flash games and we'll start sharing once we get Icebreaker out :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Hey Nitromians,
We have placed two new avatars in the Ditto site skin, can you find them?
Click to view the Ditto site skin
They're a bit evil :)
Good luck everyone. How many avatars have you collected so far?
Hey Nitromians,
For those of you who haven’t noticed, we have just released a BRAND NEW SKIN!
We thought that our last skin was a little out dated, being a winter theme and all. So we have made a brand new Ditto based background for you all.
Why Ditto? I hear you ask. Well... in a nutshell, it’s one of our latest games and one that we are particularly proud of. For those of you who missed the game you can play Ditto here.
You can change the website background, view the full skin, or even download it by visiting the skin page here: http://www.nitrome.com/skins/
Are there any other games that you would like to see have their own skin?
We hope you enjoy it :)
Hi Nitromians!
We've got a great Pixel Love game for you today, Cathode Raybits!
WARNING: There is some profanity from the outset of this game so play at your own discretion!
If you enjoyed playing Mega Man, we think you'll really like this one. The artwork looks fantastic and the sounds are authentic to the era, giving us some real nostalgia. Be warned, this game is really difficult! :)
Have fun everyone, we'll bring you another Pixel Love game next week!
Hi Nitromians,
Guess what we just had delivered to Nitrome Towers? Our Pocket Gamer Awards….Horray! We are all super thrilled to get our first proper award for a mobile game. They are super heavy glass based awards and look really pretty on the shelf J For those who missed the earlier post we managed to win ‘Best Casual/Puzzle Game’, ‘iOS Game of the year’ and the big one ‘Overall Game of the Year’. Thanks again to Pocket Gamer and everyone who voted for us!
