Hi Nitromians!

We've just added a brand new game release to our site and one that we have never spoke of until now... it's been a bit of a secret experimental project :)

This is our very first ever game that you can actually play within the icon itself, so you don't have to go to another page to play it. For those who prefer the games bigger, you can still play the game here at full size, but we recommend checking it out within the icon on the front page for the real teeny tiny affect!

Because the game had to fit within the icon, we have had to squeeze the game into just 50x50 pixels! It was both a lot of fun and a challenge to see what we could do within this limitation.

Ok so I guess we should tell you about Gunbrick itself! You control the gun-brick, a square block that can rotate left and right. One surface on the square block has a shield and the opposite side has a gun and by orienting yourself into the correct direction, you can shoot things, block things, shunt yourself sideways and even rocket jump!

Can you make it through the 10 challenging levels and pass the devilish boss?

How's that for a Friday Update? :)

Have a great weekend!

It has been a while since we talked about our upcoming Cave Chaos sequel so we thought we would give you a little update as well as a new little teaser shot.

This is not the game that is coming this week (stay tuned for that... a slight technical hitch has taken longer than expected to sort but we're sure to crack it soon enough) but it is now not far from being complete.

All the elements are in the game and almost all of the levels have been built so there’s not much more to do. We also wanted to give a little something to wet your appetite so check out the shot for a teaser of the games boss :)

Hi Nitromians!

The core control mechanic has been updated in the Cheese Dreams Demo due to some of the helpful comments we received from our fans via the Facebook page.

We have changed the way the player reacts to bouncing on slopes. This change means it should be much easier to control yourself on pivoting platforms. We have updated the demo, so why not try out the improved control mechanic and let us know your thoughts?

Thanks for helping us during the games development! If you would like to give us further feedback, feel free to join in using Facebook, Twitter or Email!

Well, it's been a bit of a quiet week in terms of blog posts and Facebook as I was off ill.

Until then, have a great weekend!

Well Nitromians, time for a Fri... err, Thursday update!

As many of you know, tomorrow is Good Friday! We will not be in the office tomorrow, so we thought we'd give you all a bit of an end of the week update and heads up today! We will be back to work at Nitrome Towers on Tuesday.

We'd like to thank you all for giving us some really helpful feedback on our Cheese Dreams Demo too. There were some good comments for us to look into.

Until then, have a great weekend!

Hi Nitromians!

We have recently had to change our Facebook page to the new ‘timeline’ layout. We have got no control over being able to keep the old layout as all pages will have been rolled out with the new layout today.

We have had a bit of a tidy up and revamped the page already to give it a hint of Nitrome! We plan to look more into the timeline layout and its features to bring you the best functionality and design that we can.

If you haven’t already joined our Facebook community, you can head on over and start getting involved in all things Nitrome!

And the demo is for... ...drum roll.....

...A new Cheese Dreams Title!

Looking back, we are pleased with what we did with Cheese Dreams and our initial idea was to make a follow up to the game. The first game was difficult….in retrospect probably too difficult and we felt that a lot of people would not have made it to the end of the game.

Without giving too much away it would mean setting the second game in a different location and most people would not understand the reason for it. We love the world we created with the first game so in order to fully explore what happens next we wanted to first give a new version of the original that people would have a better chance of making it through... then go on to show what happens next.

Although the game is a remake it has got all new levels which incorporate both the elements from the original and much, much more!

The game also has an all-new, full physics engine. It is this change in particular that we want to show off to you in the demo to see if you like the feel or what suggestions you may have that could affect the final release.

Have Fun and let us know what you think over at Facebook or Twitter!

Hi there webmasters!

We have just updated our Dirk Valentine distributable game!

We had originally distributed this game a while back, but we have revisited recently it to fix some issues.

If you've previously downloaded the game package for your site, feel free to re-download the content here, add it to your site and take advantage of the updates.

Also... did you know that Dirk Valentine is four years and one day old now? Yep, It was released on 27th March 2008!

We thought this was quite a coincidence that four years and one day since its release we are talking about the game and updating the distribution!

It's time for a Friday Update!

Next week we will be bringing you something that is going to be completely new from us here at Nitrome... a demo!

This is going to be a great way for us to check out your reactions to some of the cool game mechanics!

Next weeks demo is NOT going to be of Hot Air Jr, but of another game which I don't think we've told you about yet. The demo is going to be from... well, I guess you'll have to wait until next week to find out!

So for this and more Nitrome related goodness, join us next week and until then, have a great weekend!
