Play Games at Nitrome.com

It’s another Friday evening here in the UK, and that means it’s time to update you all on what is happening at Nitrome HQ.

Firstly our Icebreaker iOS title is coming along well and is looking great and even more importantly playing brilliantly. It’s now over 90% complete so the finish line is within sight. At the moment we are thinking about starting to film the big reveal trailer which will show you all just how awesome and varied our first iOS title is.

In game there are still a handful of levels to create for the second pack, some story to be written, a few more sound FX and some more graphics polish to be added.

Next week you should have another update on Icebreaker and fingers crossed a brand new Flash game release for our site.

For those of you who haven’t yet, you are missing out on some truly awesome Nitrome gaming and can try it out for ‘free’ from the iOS store now (Android version coming soon-so hold tight!).

Enjoy your weekend. Happy gaming =0)

Hello Nitromians,

Today we have launched a teaser video for our soon to be released addition to the Nitrome game catalogue. Swindler 2 is the sequel to one of this year’s greatest hits.

This new game introduces mechanics that turn our little green dangler on it’s head… literally! This is our first brand new game that will launch with Touchy as a controller option. This is by far the best way to enjoy this rolling action puzzler.

We’ll keep you updated on all things Swindler related but for now check out the video to see what it’s all about!

Enjoy!

In this weeks Pixelove we introduce you to gravity Duck a puzzle platformer by Woblyware

Play gravity duck here

Everybody loves ducks don’t they??? Why of course, we hear you say...Well your all in luck as this is no ordinary duck either, he has the power to flip gravity.

Guide your duck through forty levels of egg gathering action.

Although this flipping mechanic may be not completely original (seen in such series as VVVVV) it does have bags of charm in its teeny pixel sprites.  And it’s a very enjoyable little platformer to waddle your way through. It’s got some nice head nodding retro beats thrown in there too.

Enyoy Gravity duck and catch up with us next week for some more pixelove.

p.s. If you have any Pixel games that you would love to see featured by us then feel free to point them out in the comments below.

Hey Nitromians,

It’s almost time for Halloween again. So what better way to celebrate than pulling a cotton sheet over your head and scaring the bejesus out of everyone?!?

Soul Tax  is a hilarious ghoulish treat created by Jarod Long and Lauren Careccia which fits this theme perfectly.

The premise of the game goes something like this...After roaming in Limbo as a ghost for 8 years, you are approached by the grim reaper to pay back all of your ‘soultax’ before you can move onto the afterlife. It’s a fairly simple but dark premise as you must possess and kill office workers by any means possible to reach your toll and progress to the next stage.

...A word of WARNING To anyone who may be offended by some dark and sometimes harrowing content, this may not be the game for you...

For everyone else we would suggest NOT to skip the dialogue! Just don’t. Its a well-written and extremely humorous affair which you seriously don’t want to miss.

Play Soul Tax: Click Here!

Have a happy Halloween Nitromians and don’t forget to come back next week for some more Pixel Love. =0)

It’s another gloomy looking Monday over here in London UK, so we thought we would try and brighten things up a bit with today’s Pixelove ‘Llama in your face’ a zany defence game from Big Dino developed by Simon Parzer and Peter Sperl.

This game is every bit as crazy as it’s title sound’s; you take control of a Llama who must drive away the hordes of visitors before they reach his cage. Your only defence is to spit at them and send them away in a slime filled rage.

It’s a game that is built on a simple premise of point, aim and click but it builds upon this over its 18 rounds to become something which is both engrossing and bags of fun.

Quickly collect money with your mouse and upgrade your defences such as multi-target, spit guns, battle cry, power-up helicopters and more. Or try out the games separate Arena mode and aim to beat your personal best.

There is plenty to love here, from the tiny and charming sprites to the great environments and sound which makes a very highly polished experience and one that we highly recommend to brighten up your day.

Play 'Llama in your Face'

Enjoy! And we’ll See you next week for some more Nitrome Pixelove
