8bit Doves

8bit Doves is an action game for iOS and Android, based of the Nitrome Jam entry 8bit doves. The player controls a flying man as he tries to collect doves while trying to reach the level's finish line.

Developments pertaining to 8bit Doves was hinted when William Bard - composer for the Jam version of 8bit Doves - shared how he had been contacted by Nitrome to create more music for 8bit Doves. On June 30 2014 Nitrome announced that 8bit Doves was in development for iOS/Android.

Development
The Jam version of 8bit Doves was created in five days for the Nitrome Jam. Mat Annal - one of Nitrome's co founders - did the game's art while Icebreaker A Viking Voyage programmer Arthur Guibert did the programming. Unlike all of Nitrome's other browser games, 8bit Doves was made in Unity instead of Adobe Flash.

Prior to development of the mobile version of the game starting, Arthur Guibert while bored made the Jam version of 8bit Doves run on iPhone, which may have been influential in the decision to make the game a full fledged mobile title as the game worked "really well" on an iPhone.
