List of Nitrome Limited games

The games made by the Nitrome Limited can be put into four main categories. "Hot games" are the sixteen most recently made games, and thus considered the most popular (hence, "hot"). These games can fall into any other category as well. "Main games" tend to have full storylines, varying gameplay and multiple levels though not necessarily recent enough to be considered "hot". Some of these games are multiplayer, and thus are featured on the Multiplayer page. "Mini games" are shorter, sometimes with only one level. Some of these games can also be classified as multiplayer and are on the Multiplayer page. "Multiplayer games" are designed for more than one person to play at once. In all this, a game can be placed in up to three categories in of itself (For example, as of June 16, 2010, "Bullethead" is "hot" [recently released], "main" [multi-leveled-complex], and "multiplayer" [played by more than one player]).

Nitrome has made games for MTV Arcade, Wrigley's Candystand and Miniclip. The company has also made "adversegames", which, unlike the afore mentioned, are made to advertise a product or service. The company allows for webmasters to place certain games on their websites, for a predetermined fee. The games are also linked to from sites such as "TheGamesList"

Most of the games are divided into levels (usually between 20 and 50), and also give the player to replay any level they have completed, even if they have lost. Some games also feature the concept of bosses.

At the start of 2009, Nitrome announced that 20 games had been made in 2008.
