Hi Nitromians!

We are really happy to tell you all that our latest game Mega Mash has been turning quite a lot of heads since its release.

Edge Magazine has declared it as their last week's Friday Game which is great news!

"Videogames have mined nostalgia like this before – most notably in the likes of the DS’s extremely lovable Retro Game Challenge – but rarely with this much sophistication, and such an unusual level of clear-headed intelligence."
– Edge Magazine

It has had its own post over on Kotaku too which is, we think, our first game to appear over there, so thanks Mike!

"It's a gorgeous symphony of old school gaming goodness, all at once."
– Kotaku

Indie Games gave us a great write up while choosing Mega Mash in their browser game pick.

"One minute, you could be a jubilant-looking bunny and the next, an interstellar space ship."
– Inde Games

Jay is Games have also wrote a great review on Mega Mash!

"Creative, good-looking, and retro enough to make even the most nostalgic of gamers shed a tear. Mega Mash is one glitchy game cartridge you won't mind firing up."
– Jay is Games

We are really happy that the game has been so well received by everyone! A big thank you also goes out to all of you Nitromians for playing our games, you're awesome! :D

Hi Nitromians,

Those of you that are interested in finding out more about the flash community, the developers involved and generally get an insight into the world of indie flash games, you should check out the series of articles that Edge are currently writing over on their website.

Oh! and we get a mention or two here and there. :)

The articles are really well written and we feel they give readers a transparent view into the flash game development scene as a whole.

There are still more to come, so we will keep you updated as to when Edge release more articles in this series! :)

Hi Nitromians!

We noticed over the weekend that some of you found bugs in level 18. Sorry for the long wait, we have just fixed the bugs so feel free to play till the end! :D

Bugs include:

Level completion flag on level 18 has been fixed meaning you can now complete the level!

There was also two checkpoint bugs which have now been fixed.

Also, there was a sound effects glitch when you stacked two boxes up on springs, which has been fixed as well.

Thanks for your feedback,
Enjoy the game!

Hey Nitromians,

As you can see we have just released our new game Mega-mash

We found this dusty old cart whilst clearing the store room. We had to hit it around a few times to get it to work but here it is in all its glitched glory.

Its certainly a 7 in one cart with a difference.

Enjoy. =0)

Hi Nitromians!

Just a quick update for you all to tell you that we are currently fiddling around with the adverts on our game pages.

This should not stop the games from playing so you should be able to enjoy all of the games available as we work!

I just thought we should let you know :). If you do see any bugs whilst we are working, please contact us and let us know what happened, the game you were playing and what browser you were using.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi Nitromians!

We have got something brand new to show you! Check out this screenshot of another one of our upcoming games. We are really excited about this one!

It is too early to tell you much about the game itself, as it is still in development, but we are able to show you a screenshot. What do you think of the artwork style in this one?  The artwork has been made by our new artist, Martin! :)

More information will be coming about this game in the future!

Just a quick note that, despite showing this and a few other games recently, we still haven't shown anything to do with our 100th game (98th game is coming very soon! :D ).

Hi Nitromians!

Since we have had a lot of great fanart come in that we really want to share with you, we thought we'd post some more of it today. This next work comes from a Nitromian by the name of Wimow.

Wimow has decided to take our pixel characters and recreate them in glorious 3D! The artwork includes characters from Chisel, Faultline, The Bucket and more!

Thanks Wimow for this great artwork!

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!

We know that we didn't give out a 'Friday Update' last week, so here is a quick bit of catch up information for you all!

We're currently working very hard to bring you some of the new games we have got in development. We know it has taken a little longer than our usual releases do, however we feel that when you see the game, you will understand where the time has been spent! :)

Some of you have also noticed that we are currently approaching our 100th game! This has also been taking a lot of our time and we will be very thrilled to show you what we have been doing when the time comes.

To avoid any confusion that people might have or how they have speculated, by our calculations, we consider our next game to be our 98th game so there will be two more games before the 100th game and any Steamlands update would not be included in the count. Also just to note that we have purposely not shown anything with regards to the 100th game... It's a secret! :)

Stay tuned for our next game coming very soon!
