Castle Crashers Remastered

Gold Free Play Days on Xbox and Sales Galore

by

If you’re tired of baking loaves of bread or trying to learn those hip new social media dances (what’s a “Tik Tok” anyway?) then we’ve got something cool for you to do!

From today, May 14th through May 17th, Castle Crashers Remastered will be completely free to play for all Xbox Live Gold Members! Gather up some friends and smash through the game together at no cost.

If you try it and decide you want to add it to your arsenal of games, we have good news — Castle Crashers Remastered for Xbox will also be available for purchase at 60% off from May 14th through the 24th.

“But what about your other games? What if I need MORE super incredible amazing co-op action to share with my friends!?”

We hear you, and we certainly wouldn’t want to leave the rest of our games completely out of the fun. That’s why starting on May 19th (also running through May 24th), BattleBlock Theater and Pit People for Xbox will be on sale for 60% off.

“Okay, but now that I have the games how can I show people just how much I love them? If only there was some physical manifestation of these weird and wonderful video game creations…”

Okay, okay. If you insist. Running the WHOLE WAY THROUGH, from May 14th through May 24th, you can get 20% off of any item in our merch store and 50% off Pit People figurines! Just be sure to use code GIDDYUP at checkout. (We wanted to be cowboys, so now we are. Yeehaw!)

Times are funky, as proven by the fact that I just used this blog post to have a (mostly coherent, slightly embellished) conversation with myself — but that’s okay. We just want to keep bringing as much fun to people’s faces as we can. <3

PAX East 2020: The Recap, The Review

by

We met PAX East 2020 with fun, flair, and one funky little alien dude.

After announcing Alien Hominid Invasion at the end of January, PAX was the first opportunity for players to get their hands on a demo of the game! For all of our homebodies and friends that couldn’t make it to the show, we also revealed a first look at gameplay which you can watch here.

In the midst of all that jazz, there was of course much more going on: we debuted new merch, had games and competitions, and oh… did we mention that when Alien Hominid Invasion was playable, it was playable on custom-build arcade cabs?

Even if you missed the IRL sensations, you can see it all in our PAX East 2020 Recap video:

Reliving it is almost as good as being there, right? Right!?

But of course, for those who prefer to consume their memories in still, non-moving photo form, you can do that right here. We’ll give you the smallest taste with this beautifully crafted image of our Alien Hominid Invasion arcade cabs in the calm before the PAX attendee storm.

As we mentioned, this was the first time that players could ever get their hands on Alien Hominid Invasion! We were so thrilled to be able to share our current project with so many excited fans, and it was great to get firsthand feedback on the floor. In fact, we’ve already made some changes to the game based off of our experiences with players! This game is really shaping up to be something special.

Exemplary visual archives and wonderful memories aside, we fully intend on getting the game back out to more of our excited players later this year. Stay tuned for more news on that!

Also, in case anyone was wondering, the cold SUCKS. Every walk to and from the convention center was met with varying levels of freezing, struggling, and language not appropriate for our T-rated games. But you know what? Our team of spoiled-by-the-constant-sun San Diegans persevered anyway. We trudged like, two frozen blocks through wind and negative temperatures every day for almost a week. And we did it all for you, because we love you. <3
