This Friday morning, March 21st, we’ll be closing off the registration form for our BattleBlock Theater Steam Closed Beta. We will start reviewing the applicants this week and start sending out acceptance emails so please keep your eye on your inboxes for that golden ticket. You know it’ll be pretty sweet! (Haha, see what we did there?) And for those who still need a bit of persuasion before signing up for the beta, check out our announcement trailer below:

 

 

Our tentative start date for Closed Beta of our Windows version of BattleBlock Theater Steam will be next week. A Closed Beta means you’ll need to register to get a beta key, but anyone 13-years-old and up are welcome to sign up!
 
Read all the rules and sign up here before it’s too late.

 

 

For those of you who are curious about other versions of BattleBlock Theater, we’re happy to announce that we are currently working on the Linux version of the game as well, but it will not be ready in time for the beta. The only confirmed version for Steam at this time is for Windows, and once the first PC version is out, we will focus our attention on the Linux version. Until then, don’t get too excited staring at the pot and waiting for the water to boil.

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.
