Miniclip's Nitrome game awards
Miniclip game awards are awards YoMe account holders on Miniclip can earn by attaining a requirement prescribed by an award. For Nitrome games on Miniclip, the requirement is usually a high score bar a player has to surpass, quantified in terms of 'points'.
Identification[edit | edit source]
Many Miniclip games come with awards, and these games can be identified by a prominent badge placed on the screens of in-game main menus.
Tiers[edit | edit source]
There are 4 tiers of awards on Miniclip, from lowest to highest:
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Blue
Only the Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers are used for Nitrome game awards.
Finding the awards[edit | edit source]
On a game page, information on awards may be found in the rightmost column below the game frame. In a box titled Awards are images which denote the awards. Place the cursor over the images to see award requirements.
Trends[edit | edit source]
Images[edit | edit source]
Game award images for Nitrome games are shiny, tinted variants of main character artwork. These comes in shades of bronze, silver and gold according to the tier of the award.
Naming[edit | edit source]
Award names are usually created by combining the game name and the tier of the award. For example, the bronze tier award for Rubble Trouble is named Rubble Trouble Bronze.
Tiers[edit | edit source]
The first Nitrome awards to be introduced only came in a single tier: gold. Only from Rubble Trouble onwards did awards come in three tiers of bronze, silver and gold.
Descriptions[edit | edit source]
From the first Nitrome award introduced, Off The Rails Gold, award descriptions have been tailored to relate to the game.
All sentences in award descriptions end with a punctuation mark.
When three-tiered set of awards were first introduced, award descriptions for all three tiers were identical and only differed in terms of points. This applies to Tiny Castle, Chisel and Bullethead. Afterwards, from Worm Food on, each award tier came with its own description. However, the first three-tiered set of awards, Rubble Trouble, came with customised award descriptions.
Requirements[edit | edit source]
A high score of at least a stated value is almost always the requirement for an award. Only the awards for Hot Air Jr differ, requiring the player to reach milestones in the game instead.
Series[edit | edit source]
When the first instalment of a series is assigned awards, the sequels of the game often follow suit. Examples are the Rubble Trouble series and the Swindler series.
Although Chisel has awards, there are no awards for Chisel 2 as the sequel is not published on Miniclip.
Hot Air's sequel Hot Air 2 has no awards.
Hot Air series[edit | edit source]
Although Hot Air has an award when Hot Air 2 was published, awards are absent in Hot Air 2.
Awards are once again featured in Hot Air Jr. These awards require the player to reach milestones in the game rather than achieve a point high score.
