Hey Nitromians,
Our Turnbased hero Rustbucket has a new update out THIS WEEK on mobile. They'll be a set of brand new sewer levels bringing the total to 40 levels so far. There is a bunch of exciting new monsters and tricky puzzles in threre too.
We are (as ever) mega busy on a bunch of brand new games that we plan to keep you updated on when we get enough time to properly show them off.
Hey Nitromians,
Rustbucket has had a second huge new update and this time we've mainly been focusing on WEAPONS! There are 10 brand new weapon themed stages set inside a huge fire temple for you to fight through with lots of cool new mechanics and puzzles.
Also for those of you still enjoying the endless mode weve added a shop to the mix... FINALLY a real way to spend all of that gold.
Each weapon has been balanced to have its own plus and minus points. A Bow might be handy at long range attacks but is far less effective upclose than say a mighty battle axe. There is even a new way to smash those annoying statues thanks to the huge warhammer weapon, so there is no excuse not to "smash" your highscores.
Happy gamng =)
p.s We know we have neglected the site a lot of late. You'll find that we are very active on Twitter (@nitrome) due to it being just so easy to pick up and quickly post at any time of day. There has been a lot of news that you might have missed, but we aim to post the most important pieces here for you all to enjoy.
Needless to say there are plenty of amazing new games that we are working on right now, so stay tuned!
Nitrome is pleased to announce that our first ever published game Ultimate Briefcase is now live on the Google Play and the Apple App Store. So if you have a mobile device you can go and download it now!
Hundreds of automated doomsday machines have been unleashed on the city.
Survive waves of onslaught using your dodging skills and a variety of ridiculous special moves.
Where did the mysterious bomb-dropping, laser-spewing machines come from? What is the Ultimate Briefcase? And what is in it?
• Unlock a cast of unique characters, all with their own upgradable special abilities.
• Explore different areas of the city, from the fiery alley to the treacherous trapdoors of the water works bridge.
• Unlock new items to help you survive longer and rake in more coins.
• Collect security footage to piece together the story, and find answers to some of the questions above.
• No unlocks are purely cosmetic – everything you get has a real effect on the game.
Enjoy!
Hey Nitromians,
Our first published game Ultimate briefcase is coming to your devices THIS WEEK for iOS and Android.
This game was created by the ever talented Quite fresh games, created by Stefan Ahlin.
This is no ordinary high score bullet dodger though, expect:
-Unlock new characters EACH with their own unique special moves and multiple exciting and jaw dropping upgrades!
-What is inside the ultimate briefcase and where did it come from?
By collecting discarded security cam footage you’ll be able to piece together where how this all began to unravel in a series of animated clips. Clever stuff.
-Unlock new power-ups in the shop to both attack and defend yourself against the onslaught of projectiles and improve your high score.
-New arenas can be opened up and are also not just cosmetic. They too have their own traps and quirks for you to discover.
In short, Ultimate briefcase is, well... the ULTIMATE bullet dodger on mobile. And it’s rather pretty to boot.
We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.
...And to think it wasn't so long ago that we had our first game published.
=D
Hi Nitromians,
today we have not one but two new browser games for you to play on the Nitrome website!
First up is our twisty adventure game Beneath the Lighthouse! Work your way through a mysterious series of rooms in the cliffs Beneath the Lighthouse in search of your Grandpa.
Second we have Rust Bucket which we tried extra hard to launch the same day as the update on mobile! Turn based Rougelite! Follow up to our Turnament icon game with both levels and endless mode to try!
We will still be bringing you Go Pogo soon but we have a few problems need ironing out there still.
Have fun!
Hi All!
for those of you into our Rust Bucket game....Good News! The first big update for the game is out now!
It contains new levels set in a new theme with new monsters and traps to tackle.
Endless mode has also had some love. New monsters, a new theme after graveyard and you can now spend coins to continue a little further.
We hope you all enjoy it! Currently were working on update 2!
Hi Nitromians,
With Christmas upon us were starting to look to the New Year. Next on Nitromes release list will be our first ever published game 'Ultimate Briefcase' by the very tallented 'Quite Fresh'.
Quite Fresh is a new studio started by Stefan Ahlin who worked as an artist on many of Nitromes classic games such as Steamlands, Nitrome Must Die and Canary to name just a few!
The game is not submitted yet but it is wrapping up nicely, so the hope is that we will launch the game in January!
The game itself is super cool with literally a TON of content to unlock and every unlockable element has new gameplay be it a new character, power up or new location. There is also an awesome way that the backstory is slowely unlocked as you play too, which ties nicely to the characters that unlock and other elements.
More on this game soon!
Happy Christmas Nitromains,
With the holidays in full swing it feels appropriate to write a little post wishing you all a great time, to act as a round up for the year and set the sights for the year to come.
So this year you may have noticed we took a decidedly mobile turn. Some people think this is great but we recognise that for others they wish we would just drop all this mobile nonsense and go back to the good old days of browser games.
If you're in the later group we are sorry, but our current future seems to be firmly in the mobile market for the moment. Following a huge decline in the browser side of things over the last few years we had our most profitable year to date! That's some turn around, i'm sure you will agree and it is all due to our new focus on mobile.
That said we are very sad to have let the web side slip as we have. Our intention from the beginning has been to produce web versions of the games and release them alongside the mobile counterparts. That has not happened. We will endevor to correct this in the new year starting with releases for Beneath the Lighthouse , GoPogo and Rust Bucket in January!
Also in January if all goes to plan we should see the launch of 'Ultimate Briefcase' and content updates for both 'Go Pogo' and 'Rust Bucket'.
We have 3 games in the works that we are not talking about yet at Nitrome. That is not counting 'Ultimate Briefcase' or 'Project Jump' which we have talked about in the past that is still ongoing. We will start to reveal more about these projects in January.
Have a great Christmas everyone and we will see you all again in the New Year. =D
Hey Nitromains,
Our latest turn-based puzzler Rusbucket is getting its first update in January. We are putting the finishing touches to a new level pack and some new endless content. Our plan is to submit the update soon after our return in the New Year.
We have already committed to a second update after this which will again add more levels, but will focus on something really cool and different other than just new baddies.
Grab it on iOS!
We are really pleased with the feedback from players so far. We'd be very interested to hear ho far you've managed to get in the Endless dungeon or any ideas you might have.
Stay tuned for more news on this and our upcoming games soon. =D
Hey Nitromians,
Great news! Our turn based puzzler Rustbucket is OUT NOW 'Free' for your devices.
Get to grips with the campaign mode and then take your new found skills and dive straight into the endless dungeon for the ultimate roguelike challenge.
Grab it on iOS!
Grab it on Android!
Help us out by leaving nice reviews and ratings (if nothing else, it gives us a warm fuzzy feeling inside)
We are currently finishing the first update to the game which you can expect to roll out in the early new year. We have lots more planned as well... this is just the beginning. ;)
