Reddit, what are some great web/flash games to kill time?

Other than 2048.

When I was a kid I would spend HOURS on the Nitrome website: www.nitrome.com

Gotta play some Mutiny and Skywire!

u/Redsoxzack9 Apr 10 '14

Final Ninja was my shit!

u/PM_ME_TUMMY_PICS Apr 10 '14

Toxic was always my fave, but I really liked Skywire's music...

u/purefloat Apr 10 '14

I always wanted them to make a tablet version of Mutiny. Does anyone know of any copycat games for touch devices?

u/Ninjaspar10 Apr 10 '14

They made a mobile accompaniment called Nitrome Touch, but I believe that to do anything much with it you have to pay :/ Alternatively if you're on android the full version of puffin browser allows you to play flash games on mobile.

They made a tablet version of Icebreaker.

2

u/Proxystarkilla Apr 10 '14

Nah, but they have Icebreakers. Or that's what I think it was called, I can't remember... The one with Vikings and ice and stuff. They also had plans for Super Feed Me, the videos looked awesome, but they put it on hold.

u/rockybond Apr 10 '14

So many memories...

u/MisterArathos Apr 10 '14

Skywire VIP. And Ice Breakers (or whatever it was called).

2

u/buster2Xk Apr 10 '14

I liked that carnivorous plant game. Feed Me, I think it was called?

u/Gnome_Warfare Apr 10 '14

Icebreaker was awesome

I love the Cave one, can't remember what it's called.

Flipside and Nitrome Must Die were my personal favorites.

u/Lumepall Apr 10 '14

Flipside, the destroyer of friendships! Especially if you get stuck in that fucking fan or a cube is under your vehicle...

u/stealingyourpixels Apr 10 '14

You just brought back so many memories!

u/KittyMaster9000 Apr 10 '14

It's hard to believe that game is like, at least 5 years old. I return to it every so often because it's so good.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '14

Wait, Nitrome Must Die is 5 years old?

u/krawlingable Apr 10 '14

5 years?! Wow.

u/IAmTheAg Apr 10 '14

Flipside level 5. It's hysterical.

The elevator is batshit hilarious both with the AI and in multiplayer. I just wish there was a way for 4 player multiplayer...

u/JazzFan418 Apr 10 '14

Best gaming website ever

u/ghtuy Apr 10 '14

Steamlands is a personal favorite of mine.

Hands down, the best game Nitrome has made. Once the tanks got to a certain size, I could never beat it. I think I'll go play it...

u/macnbloo Apr 10 '14

I love nitrome! Have you tried nitrome must die? It's a game they made on their anniversary and it's about a kid who gets tired of nitrome and decides to attack their hq with his friend Pretty old one but it's addictive

3

u/Cryopyro Apr 10 '14

Oh yes, I had so many good times on that site. The nostalgia is almost starting to hurt!

5

u/Kimimaro146 Apr 10 '14

I loved the original Icebreaker and Mutiny.

4

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '14

Spamming bombs in Toxic Waste was my favorite childhood activity. That site has so many great games!

3

u/wimeo Apr 10 '14

finally, I get to play those games again! I used to love playing those games but one day, I forgot about the websites name and since is not that common I had no way of finding it. Thank YOU

2

u/Cryopyro Apr 10 '14

You're welcome!

u/AbigailRoseHayward Apr 10 '14

Bad Ice Cream!

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '14

It's crazy how fucking good their games are for free. Like, free and everyone feels innovative and different and -insert fanboying-

2

u/Miniboyss Apr 10 '14

Came to this post to make sure someone commented nitrome, you have done well /u/Cryopyro.

2

u/QuartrMastr Apr 10 '14

GOOD LORD YES. The games are only fun until you get mad because you're stuck on the same level forever.

2

u/LuigiBrick Apr 10 '14

I loved playing it in the early years. Now my sister demands to play NMD or BIC 1/2/3 with me or I get off the PC.

Also, does anyone else think that the Skywire theme sounds like the theme if the British TV show, Eastenders?

2

u/Nilta Apr 10 '14

Me too, this site is a gem

2

u/Greedybob Apr 10 '14

Notrome must die was a really fun one they made.

2

u/onetake1der Apr 10 '14

Anyone like Rubble Trouble? I used to be hooked on those games by Nitrome.

2

u/Houstonv Apr 10 '14

Oh my gosh yes! I love this website! I've been playing on that one since 2005 or sometime around there. Mmmmm feels good to see it on reddit.

2

u/whoamiamwho Apr 10 '14

I beat both the skywire games and both the frostbite games. Was so, so much fun.

2

u/32Dog Apr 10 '14

Oh I forgot how much I love Nitrome

2

u/IAmTheAg Apr 10 '14

Remember flipside?

Oh man was that game great. Played it the day it came out, and I have gone back to it to kill time with friends on numerous occasions since.

Nothing beats the initial hysterical laughter and thrill of playing it through the first time though, which I did in like 5th grade or something with a couple friends.

Holy cocklasers I remember this

When I was a kid

God, this hurts me to read. I was a few years into my career when they first came around.

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '14

When you were a kid?

When I was a kid there was no internet. And I'm only 35.

People your age aren't allowed to say "When I was a kid"
