It’s been about a week since we announced the Beta Registration Form for the upcoming BattleBlock Theater Beta. We’ve collected a few questions from the community and put together a Frequently Asked Questions PDF just for you!

Confused about anything? Check out the FAQ.

If you have any questions that aren’t answered in the FAQ, please go to this forum post and create a post with your question.

Official Contests for BBT Closed Beta

Starting this week, we will be doing contests on various sites so that you can get a guaranteed spot for the BattleBlock Theater Beta! The Official Closed Beta Contest of this week will be on PlayXBLA!

Join PlayXBLA crew and our team during their live Twitch TV stream of Castle Crashers from 3PM – 4PM PST on Wednesday, January 23, 2013.  We will be doing trivia to give away the Beta spots and we’ll be answering as many questions as we can. Ask us about The Behemoth or BattleBlock Theater!

Important note: Even if you win the guaranteed Beta spot, you MUST qualify according to the BBT Beta Terms & Conditions and have all the prerequisites fulfilled. Of course, we will need you to be registered on the Beta Registration Form. The process is the same, but you will be guaranteed a spot! No need to compete to be one of the 10,000 selected participants. 😉

Participants are eligible for only one guaranteed beta spot from any official contest. For example, if you win a spot from the week one contest, you are no longer eligible to win any additional contests.

Happy new year! Hope all the holidays have been well and that you all had a chance to spend some time with your loved ones your video games. We certainly did. It’s only been a week since the start of 2013 and we’ve been extremely active in BattleBlock Theater development. Here are some mini updates for you folks:

  •  ESRB still keeping us as “Teen,” but now you can find “Crude humor” on the list too. Not surprising and nothing new, right? A few fart sounds here and there and poo coils once in a while…
  • Something we’re hoping to showcase in a future blog post are our story cinematics. We’ve successfully finished of all the videos for the story mode and we’re ready to delight you with our good natured crude humor.
  • Level designers are double checking and triple checking all 450+ levels in BattleBlock Theater to make sure they are perfectly challenging and playable. They’ve been making adjustments based on the numerous playtests we’ve had the past year and also after our most recent internal group playtest.

At the end of the year 2012, many Behemoth eyeballs got together in one room to take a look at the latest build of BattleBlock Theater with all the additions implemented in the past year and had a discussion for possible modifications to improve the game even further.
