It has been a long time since we last posted on the blog so there is a lot to get 🗝 through so settle in!

Today’s big news is that we can finally tell you what we are doing to keep our 🗝 flash games alive past the end of this year when flash will be removed from popular browsers.

We have behind the 🗝 scenes been working with the super talented guys at Poki (https://poki/) to make our games playable in HTML5! This means 🗝 they will remain playable in browsers the way they were designed to be played!

The first game is Bad Ice Cream 🗝 which you can play TODAY by navigating to our brand new HTML5 section: nitrome/html5-games. More games will be following starting 🗝 with the Bad Ice Cream sequels over the next two weeks and when we're done, we hope to have the 🗝 entire flash catalogue of 130+ games playable in HTML5!

Time to talk a little more about the HTML5 versions. They are 🗝 not ports! The games are running off the exact code of the original games pulled directly from the original flash 🗝 files. What the wizards making this happen have made is more comparable to an emulator…a Nitrome emulator…eek! Being an emulator 🗝 of sorts some people may see performance differences to these versions but the code is highly optimised and will improve 🗝 even further as the team continue to work on it.
