Nitrome Must Die is a jump and platform game with mouse aiming. Play it free in your browser with keyboard and mouse, or tap and swipe on a phone.
Nitrome Must Die is a jump and platform game that you play in the browser with nothing to install. The title points to the Nitrome style of pixel-art arcade games, and the controls fit that style: you run, jump and aim with the mouse instead of just hopping upward.
If you came to Doodle Jump for quick, restartable rounds, this fits the same habit. A failed attempt costs you seconds, so the natural way to play is to try again straight away and get a little further each time. It asks for more than one-key steering, though, because moving and aiming happen together.
Move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and to pick things in the menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. Both schemes work at the same time on a laptop with a touchscreen, so use whichever feels better.
The game is a platformer with aiming added, so you are managing two things at once: where your character stands and where you are pointing. Expect the opening stage to be forgiving and use it to learn how your character jumps and how the aiming responds before the pressure rises.
Doodle Jump is the classic endless climb: you steer left and right and the jumping is automatic. Ovo 2 is a precision platformer built on tight jumps and wall movement. Bouncy Basketball is a short two-player-friendly game with its own physics-based jumping. Nitrome Must Die differs from all of these because you aim as well as move.
It suits short sessions at a desk with a keyboard and mouse, and it can also be played by touch when you only have a phone.
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move and the mouse to aim and select. On a phone, tap and swipe.
