What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 2005
A London studio's site of free browser games in a pixel-art cartoon style, each starting with a chiptune jingle, first in Flash and later Unity.
Graphic designers Matthew Annal and Heather Stancliffe founded it in August 2004 to make phone games, then turned to web games. It made 146 Flash games; its 100th, Nitrome Must Die, pitted players against enemies from the first 99.
In 2005: Its temporary website went up on 3 April with a preview video of Chick Flick, the planned first game.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2005 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2005, then plays a short scene. Want Nitrome in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
