Steamlands Player Pack Released!
We are pleased to announce the release of our first ever player pack. This pack includes just as many levels as the original game (well, actually one short) for you to work your way through.
The levels feature the four new weapons that we added for you to play with and a lot of the levels made use of the final epic gun from the original game :)
We spent some time going through the levels to keep this update inline with the quality and pacing of the original. Many thanks to all those that contributed to the levels that made it into the game…
You really excelled yourselves with the quality that you gave us and we were thrilled to get so many levels to choose from. If your level didn’t make it into the pack, you may still find that your tanks made it into the new title screen which acts as a gallery of unused but often cool tanks… check out those cranes and Nitrome tanks (personal fav's) :)
We hope you like this player pack. We may do another one if we keep getting levels. If it’s popular, we may even add a dev mode in the odd game here and there in the future!
Hi Nitromians,
I want you to all know that I played every single one of your levels to see who would make the cut for the Player Pack. My sole criteria was fun. If it was fun, then it went in.
Although it’s a bit dull to drill for 5 minutes into a giant tank that says “Nitrome” (and there was more than one), it’s certainly not dull to watch that tank pass by on the title screen.
So even if your level didn’t make it in, you might still see your tanks roll by on the title screen for the Player Pack. Don’t be put off if you didn’t make it into the Player Pack this time round, keep trying, not everyone’s first levels are their best.
Thanks for all your contributions, you will all be credited in the Player Pack (if you didn’t send me your name, now’s a good time!).
Look out for the new Steamlands Player Pack coming soon to the website.

Hi Nitromians!
We are really happy to tell you all that our latest game Mega Mash has been turning quite a lot of heads since its release.
Edge Magazine has declared it as their last week's Friday Game which is great news!
"Videogames have mined nostalgia like this before – most notably in the likes of the DS’s extremely lovable Retro Game Challenge – but rarely with this much sophistication, and such an unusual level of clear-headed intelligence."
– Edge Magazine
It has had its own post over on Kotaku too which is, we think, our first game to appear over there, so thanks Mike!
"It's a gorgeous symphony of old school gaming goodness, all at once."
– Kotaku
Indie Games gave us a great write up while choosing Mega Mash in their browser game pick.
"One minute, you could be a jubilant-looking bunny and the next, an interstellar space ship."
– Inde Games
Jay is Games have also wrote a great review on Mega Mash!
"Creative, good-looking, and retro enough to make even the most nostalgic of gamers shed a tear. Mega Mash is one glitchy game cartridge you won't mind firing up."
– Jay is Games
We are really happy that the game has been so well received by everyone! A big thank you also goes out to all of you Nitromians for playing our games, you're awesome! :D

Hi Nitromians,

Hi Nitromians!
We noticed over the weekend that some of you found bugs in level 18. Sorry for the long wait, we have just fixed the bugs so feel free to play till the end! :D
Bugs include:
Level completion flag on level 18 has been fixed meaning you can now complete the level!
There was also two checkpoint bugs which have now been fixed.
Also, there was a sound effects glitch when you stacked two boxes up on springs, which has been fixed as well.
Thanks for your feedback,
Enjoy the game!
Hey Nitromians,
As you can see we have just released our new game Mega-mash
We found this dusty old cart whilst clearing the store room. We had to hit it around a few times to get it to work but here it is in all its glitched glory.
Its certainly a 7 in one cart with a difference.
Click To Play!
Enjoy. =0)

Hi Nitromians!
We know that we didn't give out a 'Friday Update' last week, so here is a quick bit of catch up information for you all!
We're currently working very hard to bring you some of the new games we have got in development. We know it has taken a little longer than our usual releases do, however we feel that when you see the game, you will understand where the time has been spent! :)
Some of you have also noticed that we are currently approaching our 100th game! This has also been taking a lot of our time and we will be very thrilled to show you what we have been doing when the time comes.
To avoid any confusion that people might have or how they have speculated, by our calculations, we consider our next game to be our 98th game so there will be two more games before the 100th game and any Steamlands update would not be included in the count. Also just to note that we have purposely not shown anything with regards to the 100th game... It's a secret! :)
Stay tuned for our next game coming very soon!
That's right Nitromians!
We have just linked up the hearting functionality for the Top Games panel and the Hearted Games pages.
