by

Friday is a glorious day! We have another Furbottom’s Friday with an update in Furbottom’s Feature!
 
If you sign in to your Xbox LIVE account and mosey on over to the full version of BattleBlock Theater, then head towards Furbottom’s Features—BAM!!!

It’s the return of Furbottom! For a limited time only, our very own Purrham Furbottom has come back to BattleBlock Theater (as if he ever leaves the Theater) and you can have him in your entourage of prisoners! You don’t need to play the new featured playlist to unlock the prisoner, but simply load up the game. This is your rare second chance to get Mr. Furbottom, so do it quick before you lose the opportunity again!
 
Furbottom prisoner only available for 1 week.
 
Now, let’s talk about Furbottom’s Features. We’ve got a new Co-Op Feature playlist ready for you in the FF section of BBT (Catching on to our lingo yet?).
 
Today, we’ve chosen “How to play BBT” by Define Funny as the main co-op event of the week on BattleBlock Theater (BBT). Finish the full playlist and be rewarded by a new prisoner unlock!

Mr. P Furbottom can now meet Mr. Peabody. This prisoner is available to unlock until the Solo Feature playlist is updated again in two weeks. Solo players who have played the current Solo Feature Playlist can also get a chance at Mr. Peabody now by re-completing the solo feature in Furbottom’s Features.
 
You know you can’t miss out on getting another special prisoner. Ur-In over your head if you think you can stop…

If you have ever wondered what Castle Crashers would feel like on a tablet, then you should definitely check out this great application called GestureWorks Gameplay. Gameplay software for Windows 8 lets gamers use, build, customize, and share Virtual Controllers for touch, which are overlaid on top of existing PC games, such as Castle Crashers Steam Edition.
 
Here’s a look at the upcoming tablet app, which comes out November 5, 2013:


You’ll be able to take Castle Crashers practically anywhere!

 

The video above shows a demo of the controller running on Castle Crashers using GestureWorks Gameplay. One of the best parts of this controller is that you’ll be able to design virtual buttons and make custom gestures as well. Sounds pretty good to us!
 
If it’s starting to sound good to you too, you don’t have to wait until November 5th to try GestureWorks Gameplay. You can sign up for their beta now and the beta is scheduled to start October 5, 2013. As an added incentive to getting a first look at this new application by Ideum, the next 1000 beta testers will get a free copy of GestureWorks Gameplay when it releases in November!

 
Another benefit of joining the beta is that all beta testers have a chance to be randomly selected for a free copy of Castle Crashers Steam Edition! Ideum and GestureWorks will be choosing 50 people, at random, to get a free Steam key to unlock our medieval action adventure!
 

Anyone can sign up at: http://gameplay.gestureworks.com

 

Those who have signed up will receive emails inviting them into the Beta program starting on October 3rd. The giveaway will continue through October until 1,000 additional free copies of Gameplay are claimed.
