Play Games at Nitrome.com

Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire continues to do amazingly well for Nitrome and has now surpassed a whopping 6 Million Downloads!

To celebrate this we have been working on a 3rd update to the game which we have just submitted to the app store for review.

The game contains a new mode called Time Attack which you can see in the preview image. A lot of how you played the game before changes in this mode so you can all have fun competeing on a new scoreboard when it's out! 

We will let you know when it's out so until then have fun guessing how it might work....we have purposely left clues in the shot :)

Melee Man is this weeks Pixel Love game!

This platformer was a wonderful little game created by The Village BlackSmith.

The game tasks you with bouncing off of cannon balls, enemies heads and more to make your way through some very clever and difficult puzzles / boss fights.

The Village Blacksmith brings a unique style of Pixel Art that we really enjoy and David vs Goliath beings another great soundtrack!

Apologies for bringing the post a day later than the game being highlighted on Pixel Love. Thanks for playing everyone, more Pixel Love next week!

Hi Nitromians,

we have been a little quiet of late in revealing what we have been up to here at Nitrome Towers. Rest assured that we have four games in development as we speak (one of which we showed previously). 

So time to reveal another game! 'Vault!' (yes with an exclamation mark) is a game about erm vaulting. Its simple to control but has a surprising amount of depth and it is super fun to send the character into the air over the vaulting stick. 

We will have more on the other games that we have in development soon but in the meantime we will let you all guess on what this game is all about!

Today's Pixel Love game is Pixel Escape!

This game asks you to steer the tiny pixels away from the fast approaching wall of data corruption, using your super fast reflexes and drawing skills to guide them to safety!

Along the way, you can pick up some of your fellow pixel folk and help them out of the jam too. This game has a cool "corrupted pixel" palette, similar to that found in Underbyte.

Click to Play Pixel Escape!

Enjoy everyone, we'll pick another stand out game to highlight as next week's Pixel Love game!

Hey Nitromians,

Still no news on the approval of Green Ninja! However all of the prep has been done and we now just have to wait. It's currently "awaiting review" *sigh*

Until then I thought I'd show you one of the early levels. Green ninja shows the ninjas who's boss by slamming barrels into their faces.

Did we mention apart from ninjas you could kick other stuff around, like blocks, barrels and erm... melons!?!

More info on our upcoming action puzzler early next week. 

happy gaming ;)

Hey Nitromians,

It's been a while in the making but our super fun Kung Fu action puzzler has been submitted to the stores ready for review.

We realise that we haven't actually shown off any game play footage yet, so take a sneak peek at the title intro for now.

We'll have more on this game over the coming days and might even show off a couple of stages for those of you who enjoy spoilers.

Anyway Green ninja: year of the frogs release should be kicking off very soon (perhaps as early as next week if store approval moves quickly). We'll be bringing you more info on this as soon as we know.

Until then happy gaming. =)

Play Fathom, an awesome platformer created by Joe Williamson.

Apologies first and foremost for not getting a Pixel Love game featured yesterday, I accidentally set up the date as Tuesday (being today). We had a bank holiday Monday it I got slightly confused!

This game is a real gem. The overall feel of this one is exceptionally crafted! Explore the environment whilst controlling bullets to evade getting hit!

The music is also something to admire. It fits seamlessly with the game's universe and aesthetic adding to the immersive fabric of Fathom.

Click to Play Fathom!

Well, we hope that you all enjoy playing this one Nitromians! We'll bring you more Pixel Love next week, (preferably on the Monday!).
