Hi Nitromians!
Today's pixel love comes in glorious ASCII form as stealth game demake G0 (Ground Zero) made by hexDecimal
We really love the way the lighting has been created in this game. We felt it essential to the sneak and hide atmosphere. The randomly generated levels make for great replay value too.
This really is the finest barebones approach to a tactical roguelike stealth game.
Have fun everyone. We'll bring you another pixel love next week!
Hey Nitromians,
Phew, it’s been a rollercoaster of a week at Nitrome HQ. With our launch of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage across Android (Finally).
http://www.icebreaker-game.com/get-app/
A reminder that the Icebreaker LAUNCH SALE will end in a few days. So get it this weekend and grab yourself a BARGAIN before it ends.
We’ve had a lot of positive feedback on the Android and Kraken update so far, but we realise that a handful of people have been experiencing some issues.
We have fixed a crash at the start of the game. It was an Issue that was affecting devices running Android 2.3.x. We are also looking into any other problems people have reported including a crash on iPad 1. An update will be uploaded as soon as we have a fix…

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,
we let our friends at Pocket Gamer have an advanced play of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage on Android which included the new Kraken level pack and they wrote up some impressions:
"Given that I lost track of time and spent longer playing the forthcoming level pack for the Gold Award-winning Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage than I intended, I'd say it's pretty darn good."

sounds like they enjoyed it and you all should be able to tomorrow!
Hi Nitromians,
Today we have got a great Pixel Love game for you to check out, The Valley Rule by Ryan Carag and Bill Kiley.
The game has both a very well crafted ambient soundscape with highly polished pixel artwork.
The gameplay and level structure is really well put together. The only down side of this game is that we'd love to have more of it, but for a game that was made in 72 hours (We are astonished at the level of finish this game has for the time scale it was created in), we think this is a real gem.
Have fun, we'll bring you another Pixel Love game next week!
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!
Apple just posted their second Indie Game showcase to their editorial section and this time it features Kumobius who are best known on the app store for their hit game Duet and their pixelrific Time Surfer an Beans Quest.
More relevant to Nitrome is that they very kindly chose Icebreaker as one of their favourite games which is highlighted in the piece. Always awesome to get in the App Store editorial section! Thanks Kumobius!

Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage and the Kraken update will be available on May the 7th!
Not long to go J
Hey Nitromians,
With our HUGE Icebreaker update now submitted to stores and under review. We thought we would share a something AWESOME whilst we wait. That something being ‘Delicious Caviar’ of course...
This has got to be one of the coolest and playful additions to the new Kraken pack yet. Giant caviar (fish eggs) can be found deep within the body of the giant sea beast. They’re pop-able like bubble wrap, stick to almost anything, they can fire from cannons, build bridges, work as safety nets... kinda useful no?
On a further note:
For those of you who missed our announcement on Thursday. The update has been submitted for review on the stores (Play, Amazon and App Store). Just to give you all a rough timeframe, the stores…
