Nitrome

Nitrome at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to learn about Nitrome, you will find a British studio founded in 2004 that released games consistently from 2005 through 2021. The company has a substantial catalog with 102 total titles listed on our platform. They worked as both publishers and developers on most of these projects, handling 95 games as creators and 91 as publishers. Their output was heavily concentrated in the early years of their career. You can see this in the numbers, as they released 51 games during the 2000s and another 48 in the 2010s. Activity slowed significantly in the current decade, with only two games appearing in the data so far. Nitrome primarily focused on browser-based gaming, with 72 of their titles designed for web browsers. They also had a strong presence on mobile devices, releasing 34 games for Android and 29 for iOS. Their reach extended to other platforms like PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, and even Windows Phone, though these versions accounted for far fewer releases. The studio specialized in platformers, with 50 titles in that genre, followed by 38 puzzle games and 27 arcade entries. They also explored indie styles, adventure, and shooter mechanics, but those categories made up a smaller portion of their work. The overall quality of their catalog shows mixed results depending on how you look at the data. The average IGDB rating across all rated titles sits at 73.9 out of 100. This score is based on only two specific titles that have been formally rated. Both of those games fall into the good range rather than great or excellent territory. Bomb Chicken from 2018 holds a score of 77.8, while Tower Fortress from 2017 sits at 70. There are no titles in their profile with ratings above 80. Recent releases like Super Leap Day and Gunbrick Reloaded did not have IGDB scores included in this dataset. The studio appears to have shifted away from high-volume production in the 2020s, leaving a gap in their recent output compared to their prolific decade prior.
