Nitrome is renowned for exploring new ways of using just the mouse and the keyboard of a basic computer system to open up a realm of exciting and innovative new styles of gameplay. Either that or Nitrome, which began several years ago as a two-strong team consisting of a single artist and a single programmer, are hard at work developing their own take on various classics, a move which tends to anger purists.
Now they've gone and released their own take on Space Invaders.
Nitrome hasn't totally ruined the legacy of a game which all geeks across the world love, adore and cherish, but 'Bullethead', as their new game is called, gives off a positively unoriginal stench. The game itself is fun but there are no original ideas, which gives off a negative vibe and makes the player wonder whether or not Nitrome's generally innovative approach to games development is dying away.
Perhaps they're in need of some new ideas?
I would love to see Nitrome continue developing games in the future but what I truly want them to avoid is falling into the pothole of resorting to other's ideas when they can't immediately concoct their own.
Nevertheless I must congratulate the company on recently starting development of their first game for the iPhone or iPod Touch platforms, a truly remarkable move from an ever-expanding team of developers who I can't help but commend.
Keep it up guys!
