A fascinating switch-up on the classic game Nim. I love me some dark atmosphere as well. Not sure what those messages about death were all about. Thx 4 maek!

I really like the ominous atmosphere and dithering filter, reminds me of Inscryption. Overall nice game and fits the theme.

Developer

Thank you! I loved Inscryption too and it’s hard not to think about it when i am starting to make something

move over, Im the nim champ now,
pretty cool game, idk why they kept saying about people who died
or stuff. sorry!
Love the game tho, even if its abit simple.


Developer

Thank you! The idea was that Nimatron remembers some people/machines/events significant to it: Charles Leonard Bouton coined the name “nim” and developed the complete theory of the game, Edward Uhler Condon is “father” of Nimatron, Westinghouse Atom Smasher (“brother”) was made by the same company, projector Zeiss II (“friend”) was installed in the planetarium where Nimatron stayed for some time… but yeah that is the way i think about it (after reading some wikipedia pages) and in the game it’s just some ominous lines, hehe

Fun and simple.

At first it’s not clear what to do, but after a few tries I got the hang of it and was able to pass.

Nim Champ.

Thank youuu!
