Space Hopper is a brand new game from Nitrome and is available on their website to play.

The goal in this little arcade action game is to jump from planet to planet and collect all the stars to open a black hole and reach the next level, until you find your way back home.

Use the left and right arrow to move around the planet and press the up arrow to jump over obstacles or to land on another planet if it is close enough!

Some planets have different properties such as gravity or slipperiness. Several different enemies can harm you and with only four lives for each level, “you’d better watch where you step!”

Space Hopper comes with 15 brilliantly designed levels, simple controls and a catchy soundtrack. If the general gameplay of Space Hopper is great, it may be too slow and a bit repetitive for some people. But for the vast majority of casual games players, Space Hopper is a new refreshing and exciting challenge for the whole family brought to you by Nitrome!

Have fun!

Frost Bite is a brand new platform game developed by Mat and his talented team at Nitrome.

You find yourself in a mountainous world with a grappling gun and the goal here is to get to the top of each hill or mountain to progress to the next level.

Controls are a combination of mouse and keys: use the arrow keys to move around and jump and use your mouse to aim and click to shoot. You can shoot enemies to grab them and ledges to pull yourself higher up.

Collect bonus and kill monsters to score points. Catch the five ‘B.O.N.U.S.’ letter in each level to get an additional 2500 points.

The difficulty level is fairly progressive, with the early stages being very easy, and the later levels much more difficult (the seventh one is really tough!). Don’t miss the restart flags in the last four levels: if you loose a life, you won’t have to restart the level from the beginning, but from the last flag you touched.

Frost Bite is probably not the most innovative game released by Nitrome so far, but one of their most stylish titles. My only complaint is that there are only 10 levels in the game and we would have really appreciated a few more!

Overall, Frost Bite is another excellent game from Nitrome that I would highly recommend to anyone who likes platform games!

Have fun!

Matthiew Annal and his team behind Nitrome are working hard on completing their latest game, Hot Air 2, the first sequel Nitrome have done that should be released soon. In the meantime, Mat was kind enough to answer a few questions and reveal some information about the development of the game.

FreeGamesNews: When did you come up with the idea of developing a sequel to Hot Air and why?

Mat: We wanted to wait a while before doing a sequel to any of our games as we feel they will feel fresher that way. We also didn’t just want to make a sequel be just the same as the original…we wanted to add features that would make it a superior game.

We also took onboard a lot of fan comments about the original which has led to an easier difficulty from the start and the map screen being included.

FreeGamesNews: when did you start working on the game and when do you expect to release Hot Air 2?

Mat: The game was started back in November last year as a side project to other stuff we were doing. We plan to get the game out some time in February….then again if you had asked me in December I would have said it would definitely be out in January so who knows…..at least you will know we didn’t rush it!

Feed Me is the latest game released by Mat Annal and Heather Stancliffe from Nitrome. As written on their website, “this game is for those of you with green fingers”!

The object of the game is to help a potted Venus Fly Trap to “escape a greenhouse, eating flies and avoiding poisonous insects”. Use your mouse and click where your pointer is to stretch the plant. Grab insects and watering cans for bonuses; grab ground, ceiling or walls to move the plant to the exit. Avoid enemies such like spiders, bees, woodlouses or tomatoes and melons.

With 15 different timed levels, a gradually increasing difficulty and an automatic save progress function, Feed Me is a new and very well polished platform game.

On the downside, the electronic music is definitely annoying and you will probably quickly use the helpful button to turn it off.

Overall, Feed Me is a new valuable game from Nitrome, and you can’t miss this one! Have fun!

I had the opportunity this weekend to chat with Matthew Annal from Nitrome. As you may know, they’re the team behind one of the latest Miniclip hits, Roly Poly.

FreeGamesNews: Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about Nitrome?

Mat: Nitrome are based in London in the UK. It was started in late 2004 by me Mat Annal and Heather Stancliffe after working together at a large web agency and finding we worked together well. We started out doing web projects for clients with the intention of finishing and releasing a mobile game (our web game Chick flick was originally intended to be a mobile game) that we had started developing and then moving more into that field of work. The intention with Nitrome was to stay from our web project background and focus on game development and whilst the Mobile game never got fully finished we in the process tried our hand at online games which were more than happy being involved in.

FreeGamesNews: How many people are working at Nitrome and how did the team come together?

Mat: Me and Heather have known each other for almost 10 years now but only thought of starting a games business after working together on some Flash projects. Mainly Nitrome is just Heather and I, but all of the music gets done by Lee Nicklen who we’ve worked with in the past before starting up Nitrome. Apart from that we’ve had a couple of other people involved at various stages but we find that the projects seem to move more smoothly if we keep the team smaller!
