For a limited time, you can now get Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage for free on iOS thanks to AppTurbo's 'App of the Day'!

Have fun Nitromians!

Well, we were browsing the internet (as you do) and we stumbled upon a pretty light hearted article by Pocket Gamer "Angry Birds movie: 6 more iPhone games worthy of the film treatment".

We found the part about how Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage would make a great film. We all laughed when we saw that pocket gamer highlighted Andy Serkis as the voice of the trolls, but we thought that was an obvious choice. He makes for a great villain!

So this got us thinking. Who would you cast as the characters in Icebreaker and why? As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below! :)

We look forward to seeing who you feel deserves the role of the IceBreaker!

Great news Nitromians!

Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage has been selected by apple as its Free App of the week.

It will return to its full price next week, so if you have been unable to grab the paid version until now here's your chance.

We have no real intention to make large free games for mobile, but saw this as a rare opportunity to spread the Nitrome brand to a new audience. As apple doesn’t give this feature slot out very often we felt that it was worth the risk.

A huge HUGE thank you for those of you that have paid for the App already. Without this funding and your loyalty Nitrome would cease to exist today. All of your hard earned money will go towards funding other great games for our site and mobile.

We hope that you'll all join us in celebration for this great achievement as it will hopefully help us continue to be here for many years to come.

Hey Nitromians,

Great news! Icebreaker is FINALLY out on Amazon!

During the #nitromejam Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage silently released on the Amazon App Store for Kindle Fire devices. We weren't really expecting it to happen, as we had so many problems leading up to this point. We want to rectify that right now. So if you have a Kindle and have been feeling a little left out you can go now and find out what all the fuss has been about.

Another thing that happened during the #nitromejam was that an update launched across iOS for Icebreaker. We have fixed an issue which prevented people with the original iPad from being able to play the game anymore... sorry! This means they can finally play the Kraken pack, yippee. The issue also helps users that didn't want to upgrade their OS. There is a host of minor fixes that we put into the new build, so it's worth an update.

We also launched a new Android build which fixed a bunch of the most common issues people reported. The main offender was a bug which was causing players to lose their pars and coins from their game save. This issue was particularly hard to track down but we got there in the end ;)

We are looking at other issues people have been reporting and will continue to fix things where we can.

Next week we will be revealing some of the other things we have been working on. Until Monday have a great weekend. 

To celebrate the Android launch of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage, we have put it 

ON SALE! (For a limited Time only).

So if you haven’t got it yet then download it now before the sale ends, and get yourself a BARGAIN! 

Icebreaker on Android is at a Launch price of (69p/$0.99)

Icebreaker Universal on iPhone/iPad is now  (£1.49/$1.99)

The day has finally arrived. Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage is OUT NOW! on Android. The huge release comes with brand new levels on all platforms. Check out the video above to see a glimpse of the sheer awesomeness that awaits inside the brand new Kraken pack update.

Hi Nitromians,

we let our friends at Pocket Gamer have an advanced play of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage on Android which included the new Kraken level pack and they wrote up some impressions: 

"Given that I lost track of time and spent longer playing the forthcoming level pack for the Gold Award-winning Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage than I intended, I'd say it's pretty darn good."

sounds like they enjoyed it and you all should be able to tomorrow! 

Hey Nitromians,

With our HUGE Icebreaker update now submitted to stores and under review. We thought we would share a something AWESOME whilst we wait. That something being ‘Delicious Caviar’ of course...

This has got to be one of the coolest and playful additions to the new Kraken pack yet. Giant caviar (fish eggs) can be found deep within the body of the giant sea beast. They’re pop-able like bubble wrap, stick to almost anything, they can fire from cannons, build bridges, work as safety nets... kinda useful no?

On a further note:

For those of you who missed our announcement on Thursday. The update has been submitted for review on the stores (Play, Amazon and App Store). Just to give you all a rough timeframe, the stores give a guide of up to a maximum of two weeks to review an app. When Icebreaker has been given the go ahead by these, then we can finally let you guys know a release date.

As we have previously mentioned, we want to make as big as splash as possible with Icebreaker: A Viking voyage and keep updates in sync. So we want the big update to be a simultaneous launch across Android, iOS and Amazon stores. 

More news on the release and update of Icebreaker when it becomes available.

Hi Nitromians,

Great news! The issue we were having with Icebreaker on iOS has finally (after a bit of a wait) been resolved. If you check the App store right now you can see that both the HD and regular versions of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage are now listed on Nitrome’s account… yay!

So what now?

Well, we are now going to submit the update to the various app stores for review. Once they have approved the game, we will let you all know an official release date.

Not long to wait now!
