Golf Zero is a crazy mix of golf and platforming. Jump, bounce and slide your way around the levels trying everything you can to get the ball in the hole.

There is nothing quite like a nice round of Golf. The freshly cut grass, the birds singing, the razor sharp saw blades, the mid-air bullet time shot as you dodge a bone crushing boulder.

Work your way through the 40 normal levels or compete against the rest of the world in the speed run levels.

Let me know if I missed any good ones!

 

[Lijik]

Hop Swap is my favorite out of Nitromes games

 

[Tizoc]

What about the Rayman games?
Thanks for this list gonna wishlist these and grab them down the line.

Really? I personally thought that was one of their weaker games. Still a good game though.

 

[Navi]

Oh the cat game looks cute too

 

[nluckett]

I really liked Egggggg

Trailer

 

[RionaaM]

Flat Pack looks cool, downloading it right now. Thanks for the suggestions!

Gunbrick and Icebreaker are my favorite Nitrome games, I don't find their platformers that enjoyable. Polished and fun for sure, but not as good as others

 

[SuperDowns]

Subscribing to this thread though I usually found these games hard to control.

Ofc Downwell should be in here?

 

[redmetal86]

It's been a while but I've played Super Dangerous Dungeons and the Gameboy styled Tiny Dangerous Dungeons. Nice little time wasters. I kinda like Tiny better though because it was more of a Metroidvania.

 

[moomoo14]

I would put Hook Champ and its sequels on there. Really well-designed games.

 

[kiri]

No Canabalt?
No Rayman?

Shame..

 

[OrangeAtlas]

Snubbing the Rayman games is a crime.
