We had over 50 entries this year with amazing costumes and decorations from Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, BattleBlock Theater, and even Game 4! Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! It was extremely difficult to narrow down all those cool entries to 3 winners in each category. After some debate, here are the chosen ones for 2014:

Halloween Specials for BattleBlock Theater

We wish you ghouls and gals out there a happy Hatty Halloween! After you’re done hunting and gathering delicious candies, you can relax at home with one of our new solo features in BattleBlock Theater Furbottom’s Features. You’ll need to pull of a few tricks to complete the levels, but at least you’ll get a treat at the end!
 
FeaturePost_SwampBro
Get SwampBro when you complete either the co-op or solo Furbottom’s Features in BattleBlock Theater.
 
Here are the new Furbottom’s Features Solo Playlists:
 
XBLA Solo Playlist:
Halloween by MarioCallum0105
Difficulty level – Intermediate
Oh, the lovely middle. The greenest grass will occasionally be right here, firmly content to be on the fence. Levels in line with the difficulty of the original Story campaign will be here. Expect some challenge, but nothing too strenuous.

 

Steam Solo Playlist:
Hodge Podge Pie by Sir Robo
Difficulty level – Easy
A walk in the laser and buzzsaw filled park. Playlists of this difficulty will be a smooth experience full of interesting ideas more so than relentless challenge. These will generally be easier than the original Story mode campaign.
 
FeaturePost_25OFFAlso, we’re celebrating Halloween by giving you the 25% OFF prisoner! Just launch the game and head towards an online area to find this special unlock.
 
Finally, if you haven’t heard about the biggest treat we have: BattleBlock Theater Steam is 75% OFF until November 3rd! Tell your friends or get the game as a gift while this sale is still up.
 
Happy Halloween, kiddies!
 

Two prisoner unlocks & two co-op playlists

We won’t deny it. BattleBlock Theater has some flat characters! (But they’ve got plenty of personality.) This week, you’ll be able to get a couple of our flattest prisoners: Steam Roll Victim #1 and Toast.
 
srvtoast

Here’s how: Launch the full version of BattleBlock Theater on Steam or XBLA and head towards an online area. Steam Roll Victim #1 should unlock and go straight to your collection of star prisoners.
 
Toast will require a little more commitment on your part to unlock. Play either the Solo or Co-Op playlist in Furbottom’s Features. Once you’ve completed the full playlist of levels, then this prisoner will unlock as your reward!
 
Check out the two co-op playlists that we just featured this week in Furbottom’s Features:
 
Featured Co-Op Playlist for XBLA:
Crash Cup Coop by RBSfreekill
Difficulty Rating: Expert
 
Featured Co-Op Playlist for Steam:
BoomerLands by Syntaxx
Difficulty Rating: Expert

 


 

Our definition of “Expert”: Expert difficulty playlists will be challenges even for BattleBlock veterans. These levels are put together with no regard for the safety of your prisoner. Innovative and deadly exercises await inside these demanding levels. Doubly so on Insane Mode!
 
*A special note regarding Prisoner unlocks: Remember you can complete either Story mode Furbottom’s Feature to unlock this week’s featured Prisoner. If the Co-Op Feature is too hard, try Solo and vice versa! You can even recomplete current Feature’s you have already played!
