This past weekend, the Museum of the Moving Image opened its new Indie Essentials exhibit to the public. Our little alien friend made it over to New York and blasted its way into the list of 25 Must-Play Video Games. If you’re on the East Coast and have a chance to check out the playable exhibition, please drop by and send your Alien Hominid pictures our way!
 
EXHIBITION
Indie Essentials: 25 Must-Play Video Games
December 14, 2013–March 2, 2014

 
IndieCade International Festival of Independent Games and Museum of the Moving Image present a playable exhibition of more than two dozen games that represent the breadth and depth of the ‘indie’ video game scene. The designers and developers of these games, individuals or small teams independent of large studios and publishers, take daring creative risks to explore new forms and methods of play. The exhibition features recent cutting-edge titles, including the IndieCade 2013 award winners, alongside a selection of games that have had great impact on game design and culture in the last decade. Independent games are a fountain of innovation and experimentation, pushing games forward as one of today’s most dynamic and important cultural forms.
 
A huge THANK YOU to IndieCade and the Museum of Moving Image for including us in the exhibition.

 

It’s Coming…The Behemoth Monster Playlists

Our BattleBlock Theater (BBT) Level Design team has concocted content for your consumption. When we were developing BattleBlock Theater, we built into the game the level editor not only for the community, but for occasions like these to continue creating official playlists by us and sharing them with our fans for free.

So, this holiday season, download the new monstrously packed solo and cooperative playlists made by us, The Behemoth. We’re highlighting it in Furbottoms Features so that you can download the Momentum Monster and CoMentum Monster for FREE in BattleBlock Theater. Yes, official Behemoth-made content created just for you!

Load up your full version of BBT between 12/13/2013 and 12/26/2013 to download the playlist from Furbottoms Features. Complete either playlist between that time to get the new special prisoner unlock: THE MONSTER.
 
Starting 12/27/2013, the playlist will be found in the Community Theater and the prisoner will no longer be attached to the completion of those levels.
 
Learn more about how to use the level editor to create your own levels that could be future featured! Check out our forums for all the tips. We plan on producing more levels on our end in future time as well. Until then, enjoy our exciting trailer for our Monster Playlists:
