Happy DNA day! Let’s bring back the dinos!

Did you know it was DNA Day? What am I saying; of course you did! And I’m sure you also know that the best thing about DNA is that it will someday allow us to bring back the dinosaurs, for which they will be eternally grateful. 10 ton reptile hugs for everyone!

Here at the Behemoth, we are celebrating by bringing back our own monstrous dinosaur, “The Monster.” How do you acquire this friend from the Jurassic era? Why, by playing this week’s Furbottom’s Features in BattleBlock Theater! This week, we’re not only bringing back The Monster, we’re bringing back one of our “Greatest Hits” courtesy of community member, LikingB4g3L5.

 

We were checking out our back-catalog of Features, and we realized a wonderful thing: the “great stuff” in the Community Theater out-numbers our stuff in the Story & Arena by 2 and a half to 1. Yep, we’ve featured somewhere in the neighborhood of 900 user-made levels, and just in case some of you missed a few gems here and there, we’d like to share some of these Greatest Hits with you.

 

First up? One of our earliest featured Solo Playlists:

Adventury Fun by LikingB4g3L5!

And if you haven’t unlocked this flat-faced friend already, then you’ll be able to get Steamroll Victim #2 just for being logged in during an online area. Special prisoner–GET!

 

Happy Birthday BattleBlock Theater!

We remember it like it was a year ago: we all got together on a boat, sailed the stormy waters looking for an island made entirely of candy, and ended up on the adventure of a lifetime. Yes, today marks the one-year-anniversary of our BattleBlock Theater release!
 

Our game made its debut on Xbox LIVE Arcade and now we’re nearing 500,000 players on the leaderboards! You guys and gals have put in over 8 million hours online, collecting more than 5.4 million achievements in the process! Y’all sure have been busy!

 

We’re also in the middle of Beta Testing the upcoming Steam version of BattleBlock Theater, so soon even more gamers will have a chance to play! So, how do we celebrate it all? Virtual party time, that’s how.

 

Joining the party are our awesome BBT fans, who have sent us their favorite moments and reasons for loving BattleBlock Theater! You too can join in by following our Twitter, and then tweeting with #BattleBlockTheater or #iloveBattleBlock. Here are a few of our favorite tweets so far:

 

‏@Lord_Fortune : #iloveBattleBlock because nothing beats the acts of betrayal I committed on Insane.

 

@Toddv1997 : #iloveBattleBlock because nothing beats throwing my brother at a mutant raccoon thing
 
@RetroRampage37 : #IloveBattleBlock because it includes a level editor, so I can practice level design! (also 2d platformers are my favorite kind of game)

 

@Rickabus  : Knowing your friend so well that you’re completely prepared to double jump to safety right as he turns the bridge off. #ilovebattleblock

 

@lunatefossa : #iloveBattleBlock because after being shocked, impaled, or blown up countless times during gameplay, I still have a smile on my face.

 

@ScouterTV : #IloveBattleBlock für jeden Moment, wo mein Partner auf mich vertraut hat, ich ihn aber lieber runter fallen ließ
