Hi Nitromians!
The website is currently undergoing some major changes in both our frontend and backend systems as from our last blog update and today I thought we'd give you a quick progress update as to where we are with the redesign.
The website has been built, and now needs a few tweaks here and there. We have also been making room for even more functionality that we plan to add to the website after the initial launch.
I have got the 'hearting' system working for the game pages which means you can help shape which of our games make it into the top five each day!
A backend system has also been created to help for making a website skin quicker, giving the artist more time to design those much loved skins and backgrounds!
We’ve got the ‘new games’ indicators working too, these will be used to show you which games you haven’t played yet!
There's still a little bit more work to do including ironing out some browser bugs and updating the way we launch and update games. At the moment I am still coming across bugs that need tweaking regularly.
I'm also updating the website's scroll functionality to make it more friendly to navigate!
We will bring you more soon!
Hello Nitromians,
Thank you for all your feedback on Test Subject Arena, we're glad to see it's going down well. We have been listening to your suggestions for improvements and are happy to say that we have an update.
This update addresses:
Keys shown at arena select, 2 player only more prominant, and it's now possible to kill players that squat in corners using the melee.
Happy gaming!

Hi Nitromians!
Today we have a little surprise for you in the form of a spin off to our Test Subject Series (Test Subject Blue & Test Subject Green)… Test Subject Arena! While we were making the second Test Subject game we wondered about the potential for fun in the game with two player.
We decided the game was a little linear to get much extra from making it co-op but as an arena game we felt it could have a lot of potential for fun tactics. We had a little play at the end of making Test Subject Green and it turns out we were right so we fleshed it out into a little spin off release.
WARNING: The game is two player only (no single player mode!). We would have loved to have added single player but the work involved in the AI (especially with the portals) didn’t seem worth it when it is most fun as a two player experience. We have never made a two player only game before on Nitrome so please do let us know what you think via Facebook, Twitter or Email :)
If it is popular we may even consider other two player only games in the future!
We hope you enjoy the game that we purposely decided to leave as a surprise release!

Hi Nitromians,
Another Nitrome game has been featured in this months issue of Edge... It's Super Treadmill!
We are very happy that the good people at Edge felt our game deserved a mention in their magazine :) According to Edge:
"Super Treadmill is a glorious throwback to the NES days of D-Pad platforming."

We have also got a treat for you today! We were planning on revealing cheat codes for Silly Sausage over the next few weeks, but it seems that they have all been found already and posted in forums... wow, that's people power for you! (or maybe a little bit of cheating ;))
Now that they have surfaced, we felt it's better to just reveal all of them with a description of what they do.
NITROME - Turns grabbable tiles into Cuboy and turns the background pink.
MUSCLES - Hard Mode, one hit and you are out!
CHICKEN - Easy mode, you get five hearts.
FLIPPED - Turns the screen upside down and also affects the background!
DOGMEAT - Enemies speed is doubled!
GRANDPA - Enemies speed is halved!
HOTDOGS - Turn gems into hotdogs!
PRESENT - Bone-us! Bones appear randomly on the level
REVERSE - Your controls will become reversed!
POOMODE - ...Play the game and you will find out :)

Happy gaming!
Hi Nitromians,
Due to overwhelming demand here is an update on the development of our Super Feed Me game in video form.
The video will provide information on the games status aswell as why the game has been in apparent limbo for so long. It also shows more footage of the game for all those just desperate to see more but please be aware it is all mid dev footage so some areas effects and elements do not look as polished as they will in the final game.
We have tried to cover a lot of the questions asked to us but I’m sure there are many that we have still missed and that even more will be generated from this video.
