Hi Nitromians!

The Mochis Award Show is now taking your game nominations to find the best flash games of 2011!

This is a great chance for you to choose your favourite flash games and help the developers out by nominating them for the award!

If you would like to nominate a Nitrome game for an award, feel free!

It says on the site that Mat will be a judge this year. If a Nitrome game gets nominated and goes through to the final selection, Mat won't be a judge... just to clarify - as he might have an unfair bias ;)

Voting will start once the game nominations have been narrowed down into the finalists... fingers crossed we might be there!

Hi Nitromians,

We hope that you’ve all had a great Halloween. We’re working very hard to bring you the 100th Nitrome Game! It has been in the making for quite some time now and it’s something quite special.

We’ll probably tease you a bit more up until the games release, so stay tuned but the release is not that far off!

Hi Nitromians,

Our latest spooky offering Stumped is this weeks 'Friday Game' over on the Edge Magazine website! It's had a great write up

"Stumped is ultimately one of those games where victory comes from understanding that your own limitations may actually be strengths"
– Edge Magazine

Jay is games also gave us a warm review over on their site

"Stumped is a quick Halloween treat with plenty of puzzling problems to pounce upon."
– Jay is Games

Thanks for playing everyone!

Hi Nitromians!

Here we are at the end of another Friday, so it must be time for a bit of an update :)

We hope that you enjoyed the artwork in the preview animation yesterday! Next week we will be bringing you our brand new 99th game.

We are nearing the big 100, for which we have something great in the works. So that really is something to look forward to!

Have a great weekend!

There was a stir from deep within the Nitrome crypt! The 99th game seems to be... ALIVE!

We don’t want to give too much away on this one so here is a preview animation, we will leave it to your imagination on what the theme might be.

Needless to say it will be hopping your way soon!

Hi Nitromians!

This is a quick update to tell you (well you may already know!) about the website currently undergoing some cosmetic changes. This is mainly to do with the adverts.

Changes:

The site layout has been made slightly wider and there is now a new advert size.

The featured block on the left of the site now shows a selection of games rather than our social pages and video previews.

You can now like us directly from our website by clicking the 'Like' button in the new Facebook block on the right of the site.

You can watch our latest video directly in the videos block and can go through to the videos page by clicking on the 'more videos' button. We also have a link to our youtube channel on the menu bar above the new advert.

Those are the main changes to the site. We might not keep the site the way it is now as we are still trialling the layout. We have also fixed the 'new games' and 'classic games' sections found on our short game pages.

We have tried to make sure the new changes have a minimum impact on your gaming experience but if you find any bugs within the new layout, feel free to email us telling us the browser you used, what happened and we will do our best to fix the problems.

Hi Nitromians,

We have received some really cool fan art that we want to show you all!

These sculptures have been made by a Nitromian that goes by the name of HalfLite. He has recreated two of our characters at enormous scale in the game Minecraft! We’re very impressed by these sculptures!

Thanks HalfLite, they’re awesome!

If you have any fan art you have made about Nitrome please do send it in! We love everything we get sent especially if it is our work applied to something we have never seen before. We will feature the best, most striking and most unusual pieces in our blog.

Hi Nitromians!

Edge have added to their collection of great articles covering flash game development. You can check them out over on their website.

There's some really interesting information in the articles and we feel they are well worth a read.

Also, we get mentioned in the second article :D

There should be another final article at some point today that may involve Nitrome but we are not too sure. We are sure it will be a good read nonetheless :)

UPDATE: Edge have now posted their final article in this flash gaming series on their site.

This is a quick website update.

As of the Steamlands Player Pack update, we are including the titles of the two newest games in their front page screenshots.

So now the Mega Mash and Steamlands Player Pack screenshots show their titles.

Well Nitromians,

Here we are again, at the end of another busy week.

We hope that you enjoy playing the Steamlands Player Pack which was made possible thanks to the combined efforts of Aaron, Stefan and some clever Nitromians in the community :)

Next week we will bring you a preview for one of our upcoming games, so stay tuned for that!

Also I thought I'd let you all know that next week we will be playing around with the layout of the website again. It's something to do with the ads. Hopefully this won't disturb you during your gaming.

If you have any issues whilst browsing the site next week be sure to let us know by using the bugs email found on the contact page

Have a great weekend! :D

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.
