<MESSAGE END // 11-15-2018>*

Happy Eve of Halloween Eve, everyone! We are excited to announce that our newest Pit People update, “Pitlicious”, is now available on Steam and Xbox One

Aside from new adventures and quality of life additions, Update 7 is full of those “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if…?” moments we’ve been jotting down since development began. Things like…

  • “Wouldn’t it be cool if those bear blood storms could happen any time?
  • “What about a bunch of quests in a big city? Crowded streets, hot dog carts, skyscrapers…
  • “OOH, a prison break! Sheep Mascots! A level full of dynamite. Just dynamite. EVERYWHERE.”

 

Whether you can stand toe to toe with General Custard or are as innocent as a wee babe, Pitlicious has something strange and wonderful for you!

Arcade Cabinets, Pit People Update Preview

“But, The Behemoth” I imagine you saying, “I’ve already played your games!”

And then, after thanking you (thank you!), I say, “but… have you tried ALL of these games?”

  • Pit People Single Player Story Demo
  • Pit People Single Player Extended Play
  • Pit People 2 Player Story and VS Arcade Cab
  • Back Off Barbarian 3 Player High Score Challenge Arcade Cab
  • Alien Hominid HD 2 Player Speed Run Challenge Arcade Cab
  • BattleBlock Theater 2 Player Arcade Cab
  • Castle Crashers Remastered 4 Player Arcade Cab
  • Here’s all of our arcade cabinets in their travel attire!


    Wow, you have? Well, theoretical human with excellent taste… we aren’t only bringing our super-slick, custom Arcade Cabinets for each and every one of them, we’re also sneaking in some new surprises as well!

    First, if you take a seat at our ridiculously huge, twelve-sided, Pit People dodecahedron of delights, you will be able to discover brand new adventures from the upcoming, oh-so-soon to be released Update 7.

    That’s two entirely new, multi-part Side Quests and a light smattering of world map Missions on the side, just because.

    There is sheep herding, there are jailbreaks. Spidaur ladies on roller skates.

    We’re pretty excited about it, almost as excited as you might be if you take part in our other surprise…

    THE BEHEMOTH HIGH SCORE CHALLENGE!

    I’m sorry about going all caps, but this really is one of those “all caps on text, all hands on deck” situations, because if you get the Daily High Score on either Alien Hominid HD, Back Off Barbarian or the new, “Super Secret Mystery Machine”, you win up to $100 in merch.

    It’s like any other time someone gets a gift from The Behemoth Giftshop, except this time it’s from us, to you. Also, we’re making you earn it… which is weird, but in a fun way.

    Meanwhile, while you’re at our Giftshop, come take a look at some new recruits (to PAX West), all boxed up and ready to round out your team of Pit Persons: Sofia and Gluten!

    *no cages or net required.

    We’ll have more merch and High Score Challenge details as we get closer. As always, thanks for taking the time to look, read and smell this post.

    See you at the end of the month!

    -The Behemoth
