*Spoiler Alert* Video and blog post reveals a huge chunk of the story from Game 4.
 

 

You might have first seen our blueberry farmer at PAX Prime 2014 when he was first flung into the chaos we’ve code named “Game 4.” We’ve put together a video of the first 20 minutes of said chaos in case you missed it, or just want to see some of the changes since then. (This video footage shows Game 4 gameplay as of May 2015.)

Another exciting and innovative way of playing Castle Crashers Steam Edition is coming your way by the makers of Gestureworks Gameplay! This summer, Android users will also be able to link up their devices to specific Steam games, including Castle Crashers on PC. Version 2 of Gameplay will allow players to co-op using their touch devices as the Android phones and tablets turn into fully customizable Virtual Controllers.
 
“Version 2 allows up to four players to be connected for use in co-op and multiplayer games. While the Virtual Controllers can emulate the joystick, buttons, D-pad, and other controls of a standard game control, the easy-to-use drag and drop interface allows for so much more customization. Opacity, size, and sensitivity can all be adjusted and there are even game-specific skins available such as for Castle Crashers with each of the four controllers showing a unique color and character from the game.”
 
See how you can battle Catfish and Barbarians with your friends using Gameplay 2:

Mummy Undead Rising!

by

To survive in BattleBlock Theater, you always need to be on the move. Not only forward, but upwards! This week we observe Prisoners #10334 and #10401 partake in griefing activities and movement trajectories. Mummy dude and living skeleton dude will show you just how to use help each other and to get up on your own!

There’s more than one way to move up.

If you chose the dart gun as your weapon, you’ve got a fun one! Shoot your partner or enemy to knock ’em down and make your next move! Or, be practical and shoot a dart at a block when vertically challenged.  Doing so will allow you to use the attached dart as a temporary platform!  Highly functional.

Using body parts…

The simplest way to help a friend when they can’t get up is to press the action button when you’re at the edge of a block. This will extend your hand to lift your friend up!

Another way to use your hand to help a friend (with pizzazz) is to employ the use of your fist to UPPERCUT PUNCH your friend up! It might hurt a little… but hey, it works!

If you’re a hard head like Prisoner #10401, you won’t mind that your mummy friend gets ahead by jumping on your head if they’re thankful for your cooperation…right? Hopefully skeletons can handle these intense HEADJUMPS!

Pick your poison!

Your Favorite Pink Knight<3,

Christine
