Play Games at Nitrome.com

Jayisgames.com are busy playing our soon to be released Steamlands game to ready a review. To check out their preview of the game: Click Here

Update:
The preview now includes some of their feedback from their playtime with the game and they seem to be enjoying it: 

"We had a chance to get our hands on a pre-release version of Steamlands, and we've basically decided we're in love with it" 

"Any game that looks this good, plays this well, and lets you build and drive patchwork steampunk tanks will earn a permanent place in our browser window!"

Well I don’t think we could have asked for any better than that! We hope that you all feel the same when the game launches soon and until then you would be well advised to go and check out the rest of Jay and his crews impressions Here! :)

Hi Nitromians!

We have got some more fanart to show you!

It seems apparent now that Lego is the medium of choice for our fans, as Jonatan proves with this fantastic Skywire model! Thanks for sending this in Jonatan!

The next Lego model was sent in to us by a Nitromian called 'Bookmuncher', he has chosen to recreate Dirk Valentine and Canary. Nice work!

It's getting VERY close to the release of our new game Steamlands and we thought we would give you a quick tech demo of the game!

Mat and Aaron take you through some of the game features, ideas and inspirations that make Steamlands what it is!

We are as always reviewing elements of our blog and as we have been adding a lot of Youtube clips recently, we are seeing some undesirable results. A few people have reported problems seeing the videos and there is a known issue of the video teariJng at the edges of the viewport which currently seems unfixable.

There is also the problem that you can’t drag through the videos which is a problem with other items also and an issue we hope to address in the future. We have decided, due to these issues that we should change the way we implement videos into our blog and therefore all future videos will be accessed via a link to the video page to keep the process cleaner!

Hi Nitromians!

We have just added a brand new preloader to our games complete with new artwork! If you experience any issues with the new preloader, or you are having trouble with games loading, please let us know and so we can fix the issues.

Also last week we told you that we recieved some fanart from a Nitromian called 'Claybob'. That was the wrong name! The alias is actually Clayblob, sorry about that :)

The post has been fixed!

Hey Nitromians!

Due to recieving a lot of great fan art recently, we have decided to show some more of your work :D

Today we have got some pixel from Juras!

Juras has drawn five really cool pieces that include characters from Final Ninja, Rush, Fault Line, Chisel and Bullethead!

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 so stay tuned for another in about a weeks time :)

It’s that time again at the end of the week where we bid you fairwell and hope you enjoyed what we had to offer! Next week we will hopefully have some sort of new video for you that should excite you all!

We are also going to put our heads together and try to break our cycle of showing so many preview and fan posts and introduce something new along with them :)

Have a great weekend!

Hi Nitromians!

Those of you that got to the end of Test Subject Blue will have seen... ...look away now if you don’t want a spoiler!!...

...no really, last warning!!...

...that the end of the game said 'to be continued' and there was a big hint as to what the second one will be about. I’m happy to confirm that we have been underway with the sequel ever since finishing the original game! It is as you would expect, if you finished the first game, going to be called Test Subject Green but hopefully will not be quite as predictable as you might expect. More soon!!

One final note should be that this sequel is totally unrelated to the high profile sequel mentioned a couple of days back in the blog. Test Subject Blue went down great but is not our biggest game without a sequel so keep guessing there! Also it’s interesting to see that nobody has came close to guessing the game so far on Facebook or Twitter.

Hey Nitromians!

We are getting some fantastic fan artwork sent to our fan email address, keep sending it in! We have got two pieces of art for you this week, and they are very different from each other!

The piece below was sent in from a minecraft player Adam, and from the scale of the huge enemy585, we think you'll agree, that it must have taken ages! We are very impressed!

Minecraft Enemy585

The next piece is really cool too. It's an anamorphic image. This means that shows the Nitrome logo - but only from the right angle!
Thanks for this Clayblob it's awesome :)

Hi Nitromians!

We have something brewing at Nitrome that we think you will all be very excited to play on release! We’re not ready to reveal it just yet though it is well underway, but we will tell you that it is a sequel to one of our most popular games ever and probably the most popular game that has yet to have a sequel!

Ok enough clues... guess away and more will be revealed soon :)

Hi Nitromians!

It's the start of another week and to kick it off we'd just like to tell you that our latest game Knight Trap has been released! :D

Use your own subtle mix of agility, timing and patience to guide the knights safely through the traps and make it to the princess!

Have fun and remember to share it with your friends! :)

Hi Nitromians!

We asked a while back what you thought we should call you all and we had some really fun suggestions with some favourites being ‘nits’ (hilarious but possibly some of you would be offended) , coopers (cool but not really Nitrome), Nitrominions (possibly just pipped to the post), pixel people (cool but maybe too long). Nitromians seemed to go down the best so I think we are going to stick with that for a while and see how it sits with everyone. We’re still open to change it though so keep your suggestions coming in.

You can, as always, feedback on Facebook, Twitter, or good old Email.

We are at the end of another exciting week! Next week we will have much more for you including, as promised, something new to read in the blog each day and on one of those days we will have a brand spanking new game for you all to enjoy!

See you all next week and have a great weekend!
