BattleBlock Theater: Furbottom’s Features

Last time, we featured a bunch of the awesome content our beta testers had come up with for the BattleBlock Community Theater: a magical place where user-made levels go once they’re uploaded from the Level Editor. While we hope you enjoyed that peek behind the curtain, some of you may have been thinking, “Hey, what about the awesome content I plan to make? If only MY levels could be featured in a feature somehow.

Well my friends, it turns out your feature-worthy levels CAN be featured in a feature somehow! In fact, thishow:

Aside from the Story and Arena modes, BattleBlock Theater will also invite players to check out “Furbottom’s Features”: levels handpicked by us, created by you and enjoyed by everyone. Three different types of playlists will be Featured at all times:

If chosen, your playlist of levels would be on display, front and center, smack dab in the middle of the menu!

(Okay… slightly to the left and down a bit, but you get the idea.)

But fame isn’t the only reason to get excited about Furbottom’s Features, oh no. You’ll also find that Featured Adventure levels have been transformed from this…

…to this!

And while the strawberries normally found in user-made levels are a whole lot juicier, only gems can be spent in the BattleBlock Theater Gift Shop; just try using a strawberry on a vending machine and you’ll see why.

So! Players who play Featured levels will get richer, and players who make levels that make players richer will be loved for making them rich. It’s a win win!

But just who, or what, is Furbottom? We’ll have to save that for another “Story”.
