Good day to you Nitromians!
We're proud to announce we have a trailer out for our 100th game. This may answer some of the questions that have been raised over the past week with Nitrome Must Die. Well done to all those that correctly guessed that it was linked to our 100th game. We are very close now to the release
Enjoy the video!

Hi Nitromians!
Our upcoming game Nitrome Must Die (the 100th game) is getting very close to completion now and we are still hoping to have it out this week.
In the meantime we thought we would wet your appetite with a shot from one of the boss rounds. This particular boss is the Cheese Dreams moon which has been infected by the Parasite!
This is just one of the ten bosses in the game!

Hi Nitromians,
This will with any luck be our final update before the release of Nitrome Must Die. In this update we wanted to give you a brief glimpse of the scoring system for the game and explain how it works and why we hope it will add replay value to the game. At the end of each level you get a score based on the number of coins you collected from the enemies you killed. You are then given the choice to bank that score or gamble it in exchange for a multiplier on future score should they continue to not lose a level. The multiplier increases by 1 each time you gamble without banking. If you lose a level any unbanked score is wiped out so it is about playing it safe or risking it all. …….it’s a little bit like the weakest link TV show.
Let’s run through two examples to show the potential benefit of risking that score for multipliers.
Playing Safe:
Floor 1 the player banks their score of 100…total banked score: 100, Unbanked Score: 0, Multiplier x0
Floor 2 the player banks their score of 100…total banked score: 200, Unbanked Score: 0, Multiplier x0
Floor 3 the player banks their score of 100…total banked score: 300, Unbanked Score: 0, Multiplier x0
At this point they have 300 points in total banked score.
Gambling with success:
Floor 1 the player gambles their score of 100… total banked score: 0, Unbanked Score: 100, Multiplier x1
Floor 2 the player gambles their score of 100… total banked score: 0, Unbanked Score: 200, Multiplier x2
Floor 3 the player banks their score of 100… total banked score (before the multiplier): 300, Unbanked Score: 0, Multiplier x3
At this point they have 900 points (300 x 3 because of the multiplier bonus) in total banked score.

Hi Nitromians,
We told you in last week's 'Friday Update' that we'd let you know what we have planned for the lead up to Christmas. So here we have got a preview image for you all to check out!
It is a preview of a game we're currently working on, we can't tell you too much more about this one just yet, but what we can tell you is that it will be released next week!
We are also working on a second winter game and will be bringing you more on that one next week!

Hi Nitromians!
Are you all ready for our second winter game preview?
This week, along with the release of our latest game Lockehorn, we said that we'd be bringing you a preview of our next winter game!
Well here is... ...drum roll...
It's the next instalment to our super popular Rubble Trouble series set in a new snowy location!
Which city do you think Larry, Barry, Garry and the foreman will be working in the next game?
Let us know which city you think they are in on our Facebook page and Twitter!

Hi Nitromians!
We are very excited to reveal just what’s going to be appearing under that ‘Coming Soon’ panel in the top right hand corner of our site. As has been suspected and requested by many people, we are going to have a new login system for the site!
This is going to be a completely optional feature. If you choose not to use it you will be able to play the games as you could before but we will be introducing (both at launch and going forward) tons of cool new features made possible through logging in!
You may also notice that we have a new search bar coming to the site. This too has been a highly requested feature for a while that we will be happy to deliver :)
It has been no small undertaking to bring these features to life in a site as established as Nitrome. A lot of ground work has had to be done and has caused us to take longer than initially planned. Hopefully at launch you will appreciate the effort that has been made and will be able to enjoy a more stable and feature rich Nitrome site in the future.
We will be giving a full lowdown on what to expect in the Nitrome 2.1 update next week so stay tuned!

Great news on the horizon for Lockehorn fans!
We have been working on a significant update for the game which offers a robust 2 Player versus game mode. Basically, if you look at what we did with Test Subject Arena, we will be offering something with just as much if not more substance but this time within the actual Lockehorn game.
The game will also contain an all new ‘easy mode’ and some small bug fixes. This is something that we would have liked to have included in the original release, but due to it being a winter game and that ideally tying to Christmas, it unfortunately had to be released. We are thrilled that the game is doing well enough that we are now able to add in more content. Thanks for all that keep playing the game!

Hi Nitromians!
We are working on a follow up to a game that is on the first page of the Most Hearted section!
The game has never had a sequel before! Can you guess which game we are developing?
Let us know if you have guessed what it is over on Facebook or Twitter!
Hi Nitromians!
We have put together this preview image of our soon to be released game - Swindler!
We plan to launch this game next week! Some of you may have seen this character in our Nitrome v2.1 site skin. We also released a very short teaser video on Youtube!
Look out for this one being released next week!

Hi Nitromians!
We recently showed you a very cryptic image of a game that we currently have in development. We also told you that it is a follow up to a game that is in the first page of Heart Games.
We are very impressed by how many of you guessed the game name! That's right - it's going to be the next instalment to the Cave Chaos series!
Look out for this game coming soon!

Hi Nitromians!
Well we said we'd give you a preview of an upcoming release this week. Today's preview comes in the cryptic form of a new enemy sprite!

Can you guess which game it is from?
Let us know what you think the game is over on our Facebook page.

Hi Nitromians,
Last week, we let you know that we were creating a follow-up to one of Nitrome’s earliest creations.
We also showed you a pretty cool sprite of an enemy (click here) character from the new game currently in development.
We can now let you all know that it will be another game in the Hot Air Franchise!
Well done to everyone who guessed correctly, you can expect to see this title coming soon to Nitrome!

It has been a while since we talked about our upcoming Cave Chaos sequel so we thought we would give you a little update as well as a new little teaser shot.
This is not the game that is coming this week (stay tuned for that... a slight technical hitch has taken longer than expected to sort but we're sure to crack it soon enough) but it is now not far from being complete.
All the elements are in the game and almost all of the levels have been built so there’s not much more to do. We also wanted to give a little something to wet your appetite so check out the shot for a teaser of the games boss :)

Hi Nitromians,
We have some really cool news for you!
Some of you may have noticed the fresh new iPhone image in the advert slot on our front page. I guess that must mean we have some breaking news to tell you all regarding iOS.
Let’s just say you should be excited!
We are gonna reveal what it is THIS WEEK and it’s giving us goose bumps just thinking about it!
Until then, chill ;)
Hello Nitromians,
Today we have launched a teaser video for our soon to be released addition to the Nitrome game catalogue. Swindler 2 is the sequel to one of this year’s greatest hits.
This new game introduces mechanics that turn our little green dangler on it’s head… literally! This is our first brand new game that will launch with Touchy as a controller option. This is by far the best way to enjoy this rolling action puzzler.
We’ll keep you updated on all things Swindler related but for now check out the video to see what it’s all about!

Enjoy!
Hi Everyone,
Do you remember us saying that we are currently working hard to bring you all our next winter game?
Well we thought we'd whet your appetite with a little preview screenshot...
...It's gonna be Bad Ice Cream 2!
You might also notice the extra ice creams in the shot. That's right! It's gonna be Touchy's second multiplayer game!
As we are adding four players, I guess that means that we need more flavours! Can you say mint choc-chip?
Keep your eyes peeled for this game coming to Nitrome very soon :)
If you only knew the amount of emails we’ve received regarding this game!
We know it’s been a while but we are finally making the third and final instalment to our Test Subject series – Test Subject Complete.
We don’t want to give too much away just yet but you should know we are wrapping up the story… it’s really good!!!
We held off making this game because we knew it was going to be a big job to do everything we wanted. For now we don’t want to give away any spoilers, however rest assured you will get to play in the new suit, find out what happened to the professor and find out why you were being tested in the first place.
So why don’t you re-familiarise yourself with the Test Subject story and play Test Subject Blue and then Test Subject Green.
We will be giving more info on Test Subject Complete in the run up to its release… until then happy gaming!

Hello all of you lovely peeps!
We thought we should show you some more of what we've been up to with our favourite Blue Enzyme.
For those of you who managed to complete Test Subject Green, you will have seen that the game ended with Blue in a new suit. Well here’s an in-game shot of Blue in said mech suit. The observant amongst you may notice that Blue is upside down! Oh yes, that’s not a mistake.
You’ll also notice that one of Dr Nastidious’ soldiers is messing with Blue, dropping orange goo into the test chamber… no good can come from this… can it?!

Hi Nitromians!
We've got a bit of a treat for you all today!
This week, we thought we'd show you a teaser screenshot of one of our latest upcoming games.
It's currently very close to being finished and we thought we'd show you some artwork and find out what you all think of it!
Super Stock Take is set in a storage warehouse where items for Nitrome games are stored. You play as the chimp that has to take on the laborious and often hazardous tasks set by the Nitrome Boss.
