Nitrome

Nitrome is an independent game developer founded in 10 August 2004. They formerly developed Unity-based and Flash games for the web, which had been distributed and licensed on other websites such as Miniclip, MTV Arcade, and Friv. They were also a publisher and developer for games on mobile. As of now, they are currently working on console games.

Their games have been notable for their authentic pixel art design and their jingle at the start of them.

Why They Rock

 * 1) Amazing pixel art designs on their games. What makes this better is that they have managed to remain like that ever since, which isn't something most developers resort to.
 * 2) Most of their games have very catchy soundtracks, which, fortunately, you can listen to on YouTube.
 * 3) Their sprites are very creative and unique, especially when they give off a GBA aesthetic.
 * 4) Their games can be a balance of hard and easy at the same time. Even so, most of them have no microtransactions (despite Leap Day including a VIP subscription since April 2nd, 2019).
 * 5) Their website is really awesome. It even allows you to customize it with whatever skins there are!
 * 6) They sometimes interact with their fans.
 * 7) Their games, Gunbrick Reloaded and Bomb Chicken had been successfully ported to Nintendo Switch and Steam (same can be said for Tower Fortress too, since it's now available on Steam).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of their games may have a few glitches.
 * 2) They've developed and published some boring games.
 * 3) Sometimes their games can get too hard, enough for you to be frustrated.
 * 4) While Leap Day isn't a bad game in general, Nitrome ruined it by introducing a Leap Day VIP subscription. Why would they need to do that? The game probably was already as fine as it was.
 * 5) They sometime force users to pay their games instead of making it free.
 * 6) * Sometimes, their games can have demo as for free or having ads.
