This week marks the 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope. April 25th is also International Astronomy Day! We’ve definitely got a deep appreciation for space and the technology that gets us closer to interstellar worlds. In honor of these events, we’re giving you Cat Control:
It’s not quite a space suit, and not quite a UFO, but it’s definitely out of this world! Enjoy this special unlock by loading up BattleBlock Theater. While you’re already in there, be sure to check out the new Arena Feature!

Note: If you already unlocked CatControl in the past, then you will not get a notification this time. You can find the special prisoner in your player set up under the star category.
Wise up and play BattleBlock Theater!
Uncertain of what you’ll be doing for your few hours of freedom over the weekend? We’ll make it easier for you and pass on our wisdom: Play video games.
Specifically, play BattleBlock Theater and work towards unlocking Hooshmand, The Wise. That’s right! In Furbottom’s Features, you’ll be playing hard to work hard! (Huh?)
Just finish either the solo or co-op playlist in Furbottom’s Features and you will be granted this wildly, wise cat.
Hooshmand has seen things. Terrible, violent things. Play this week’s feature and you can also see terribly violent things, but at least you’ll get to hang out with Hooshmand in the end!
XBLA Solo Feature:

Steam Solo Feature:
Floor is Lava[Solo] by KLJF22
Difficulty: 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 Solo Feature is too hard, try Co-Op and vice versa! You can even recomplete current Feature’s you have already played!
If you already have Hooshmand, then you won’t be getting a pop up notification for a new prisoner. True story.
A TripleThreat returns to BattleBlock Theater
Today is National Sibling Day! There’s no other person(s?) who understands the importance of family bonding more than TripleThreat! These three can’t stand being apart ever…or is it that they can’t stand, if they’re apart? In any case, in the spirit of Sibling Day, we’re giving you three prisoners in the body of one!
Just head into BattleBlock Theater and go towards an online feature in the game to unlock this prisoner. If you already have TripleThreat in your list of Star prisoners, then you won’t be getting the notification.
While you’re already in the game, you may as well take advantage of our awesome new Arena Features made by the community!
