Nitrome Games Limited is a British independent video game developer based in London. The company formerly developed Unity-based games^[1] (and previously Flash-based) for Web browsers, but now publishes and develops games across multiple platforms including mobile, Nintendo Switch, and PS4, with a few releases on Steam.

Their games are recognizable by the pixel art design and cartoon-like appearance, along with a jingle to the start of every game and the use of chiptune.

Nitrome was started on 10 August 2004 by Matthew Annal and Heather Stancliffe, two graphic designers, intending to create games for mobile phones. Instead, the company began taking on commissions for Internet-based flash games. Some of Nitrome's games feature characters which are inspired by other characters from video games, TV shows, and various other sources. Nitrome's online games are published on their website, and were available to license on other websites such as Miniclip, MTV Arcade and PCH Games.
