A sample Miniclip game page layout.
Finding the awards[]
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[]
Images[]
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[]
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[]
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[]
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[]
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[]
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[]
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.
