Wise up and play BattleBlock Theater!

by

Uncertain of what you’ll be doing for your few hours of freedom over the weekend? We’ll make it easier for you and pass on our wisdom: Play video games.
 
Specifically, play BattleBlock Theater and work towards unlocking Hooshmand, The Wise. That’s right! In Furbottom’s Features, you’ll be playing hard to work hard! (Huh?)
 
FeaturePost_HOOSHMAND
Just finish either the solo or co-op playlist in Furbottom’s Features and you will be granted this wildly, wise cat.
 
Hooshmand has seen things. Terrible, violent things. Play this week’s feature and you can also see terribly violent things, but at least you’ll get to hang out with Hooshmand in the end!

 
XBLA Solo Feature:
my_playlist1 by XxRINaRo87xX
Difficulty: Expert
 
Steam Solo Feature:
Floor is Lava[Solo] by KLJF22
Difficulty: Expert
 

Expert difficulty playlists will be challenges even for BattleBlock veterans. These levels are put together with no regard for the safety of your prisoner. Innovative and deadly exercises await inside these demanding levels. Doubly so on Insane Mode!

 

*A special note regarding Prisoner unlocks: Remember you can complete either Story mode Furbottom’s Feature to unlock this week’s featured Prisoner. If the Solo Feature is too hard, try Co-Op and vice versa! You can even recomplete current Feature’s you have already played!
 
If you already have Hooshmand, then you won’t be getting a pop up notification for a new prisoner. True story.

 

Suit up for Furbottom’s Features

by

FeaturePost_SNAKEFACE It’s Friday! And it’s a good one. Know what this means? It’s time to suit up with your fanciest duds and load up BattleBlock Theater for some Furbottom’s Features!
 
As a reward for your efforts in Furbottom’s Features, we’ll give you our most fanciful suit after you complete either the solo or co-op playlist! You’ll be able to rock out in any level as our Snakeface special prisoner.
 
If you don’t get an unlock notification, then you may already have Snakeface! Just check your list of Star prisoners in player set up to be sure.
 
Here are the new co-op playlists in Furbottom’s Features that have been updated for this month:
 
XBLA Co-Op Playlist:
Chapter2 2P by Logan s Miller
Difficulty level: Easy
A walk in the laser and buzzsaw filled park. Playlists of this difficulty will be a smooth experience full of interesting ideas more so than relentless challenge. These will generally be easier than the original Story mode campaign.
 

Steam Co-Op Playlist:
RunningMan coop by razavimday
Difficulty level: Expert
Expert difficulty playlists will be challenges even for BattleBlock veterans. These levels are put together with no regard for the safety of your prisoner. Innovative and deadly exercises await inside these demanding levels. Doubly so on Insane Mode!
 
*A special note regarding Prisoner unlocks: Remember you can complete either Story mode Furbottom’s Feature to unlock this week’s featured Prisoner. If the Co-Op Feature is too hard, try Solo and vice versa! You can even recomplete current Feature’s you have already played!

 

A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet

A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet–but we still call it Rose anyway. We’re feeling sweet today, so we’re giving you all flowers when you load up BattleBlock Theater on Steam or Xbox!

We’d like to give virtual flowers to our Arena Playlist Creation Contest winners as well! They were featured previously, but it seems most appropriate to start out 2015 with a strong set of levels. Give it up again for two of the best community-made arena playlists of 2014:

 

Arena Features in BattleBlock Theater
 
XBLA Arena Feature:
Arcadia by MeltedCow
Bang for your buck — that’s what this playlist offers its players. Many of the levels in this playlist feel like two levels in one! Switches, paths and judicious use of clever block placement generate levels that can evolve and change as you play or offer great risk/reward benefits as you decide which paths to take. Be sure to check out the final stage in this playlist where you can adjust your difficulty, strategy and even your score objective. It’s the ultimate expression of this particular concours ultimate playlist!
 
Steam Arena Feature:
Game of Kings by Frog Fractions (formerly Hexadoodle)
Checkmate. Dramatically, this playlist was the last playlist we saw when judging the competition. Just like the pivotal move in a chess match — you know, besides stalemates or dumping the pieces on the floor — this playlist bested its competition through cunning design and execution. Each level within this playlist is creatively themed around chess, its pieces and their movements. You’ll be chopping wood throughout this full complement of friendly game modes. A book-win for Frog Fractions!

 
Enjoy your weekend with some fun fighting!
