Who knew that fungi could be so fashion forward? We certainly didn’t until we started putting bandanas and crowns on our fungal friends in Game 4!
It’s time to root for our favorite Mushrooms out on the hex-walk today as they show off their duds and we savor their fragrance:
A long time ago, we made a game called Alien Hominid. It was based on the Newgrounds.com web game of the same name by Dan Paladin and Tom Fulp, and it led the creation of the Behemoth.
Well, just the other day, the original version of Alien Hominid passed a big milestone on Newgrounds – the game has now exceeded 20 million plays!
After being released on Newgrounds, the Behemoth was eventually formed and Alien Hominid was developed for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2. Now the full HD version is available on Xbox LIVE.
Our lovable, little, yellow alien invader pal sure has come a long way since that little Flash version of the game. 20 million plays? That’s a LOT of chomped heads. Yeah… we’re really proud of him.
Anyway, we just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve supported us by playing the game, sharing it with your friends, and even wearing our Alien Hominid antennae at the San Diego Comic-Con with pride!
In other news, our fan fiction writing contest finalists have been selected and you can vote for your favorite story. The top five will be the lucky winners of a BattleBlock Theater t-shirt or Castle Crashers on XBLA or PSN America. YOU choose those five. Winners will be announced next Tuesday, May 15th.
Until then, try playing the original Alien Hominid to relive some of those chomptacular memories!
You asked for it, and we listened. The single most requested character will be joining the battle on PSN on February 8th; in brand new additional content for Castle Crashers. We give you…. the Pink Knight!
Born out of popular demand, rumor, and Tom Fulp’s Beard, the Pink Knight is ready to bring the love in. The playable Pink Knight will come packed with the Lollipop and 4 other brand new additional weapons. Warning: Adorable.
The Pink Knight Pack will be available on PSN for $1.99 and 100% of The Behemoth’s revenue from Pink Knight pack sales will be donated to charities devoted to Breast Cancer Research.
Now before you become sad dear XBLA fans, remember Behemoth loves you too. We are working hard on a title update for XBLA that will feature the Pink Knight as a playable character as well. In the coming weeks we’ll have some more updates as to how and when this update will occur, and most importantly what will be included. Rest assured, Pink Knight is coming for you too. With love.
