Vlambeer Resurrected: Jan Willem Nijman Takes Full Ownership

The indie studio, known for hits like Nuclear Throne, aims for a sustainable future with new projects and a focus on preserving classic games.

Vlambeer, the studio behind hits like Nuclear Throne and Ridiculous Fishing, is making a comeback with co-founder Jan Willem Nijman purchasing full ownership.
Nijman plans to release the long-awaited arcade shooter Ultrabugs and update Ridiculous Fishing EX, ensuring the studio's classic games remain accessible.
The decision for Nijman to take full control aims to give Vlambeer a sustainable future, following a period of limbo after its initial shutdown in 2020.
Rami Ismail, the other co-founder, sold his share to Nijman, marking the end of his involvement with Vlambeer but opening new avenues for his own projects.
Vlambeer's revival is welcomed by fans, with Nijman committed to continuing the development of indie games with small teams.
