When we created BattleBlock Theater (BBT)–or when we create any of our games for that matter–we didn’t do it for the awards but rather for the gaming community and because we wanted to challenge ourselves with another fun genre of gaming. That being said, it’s still pretty awesome to have received so much support from the fans for last year’s release of BBT and we’re honored to have been included in a few different categories for 2013’s Top Games.
 
We don’t have a page to put these up on for now, so we’ll just post what we’ve found in this blog post. Thanks to all the fans for their support and to all these gaming sites for nominating BattleBlock Theater!

by

ok no ponies. But other exciting things!

First off, I am happy to announce that Pink Knight Figurines will be available at PAX East!!!

Pink Knight comes with all 4 regular weapons PLUS a special sweet (get it?) lollipop weapon. Like the Barbarian and King Figures, Pink Knight is limited edition, so pick one up at PAX east this weekend! The Behemoth will be at booth #550, with Castle Crashers and brand new BattleBlock Theater demos on our hand made arcade cabinets!! Tom and Dan will be signing 1-3 every day, come say hi!

Did you hear? Thanks to your votes, Castle Crashers won Best Downloadable Game on PS3 in the 2011 PlayStation Network Gamers Choice Awards!

As the winner, Castle Crashers is featured in the Spring Fever promotion on PSN. Through April 12th, it is available at 30% off (50% off for plus subscribers). A really big thank you to everyone who voted. It was a really close race at the end between Castle and a certain pilgrim.. and every vote counted!
