Alert! New prisoner unlock with Furbottom’s Features!

by

You won’t hear our Siren coming, but you’ll probably see it make its way through the halls of the Theater this weekend. How do you guarantee an appearance by this animated character? Finish Furbottoms Features and it will automatically unlock at the completion of the playlist!

You could play the Solo Furbottoms Features, or play the newly updated Co-Op Furbottoms Feature with a friend! Here are this month’s Co-Op playlists for BattleBlock Theater:
 
XBLA Co-Op Feature
My_Levels 5 by BombShock60
Difficulty level – Intermediate
 
Steam Co-Op Feature
El Gato by reridse
Difficulty level – Intermediate

 

Difficulty Rating: Intermediate
Our definition: Oh, the lovely middle. The greenest grass will occasionally be right here, firmly content to be on the fence. Levels in line with the difficulty of the original Story campaign will be here. Expect some challenge, but nothing too strenuous.

Two prisoner unlocks & two co-op playlists

by

We won’t deny it. BattleBlock Theater has some flat characters! (But they’ve got plenty of personality.) This week, you’ll be able to get a couple of our flattest prisoners: Steam Roll Victim #1 and Toast.

Here’s how: Launch the full version of BattleBlock Theater on Steam or XBLA and head towards an online area. Steam Roll Victim #1 should unlock and go straight to your collection of star prisoners.
 
Toast will require a little more commitment on your part to unlock. Play either the Solo or Co-Op playlist in Furbottom’s Features. Once you’ve completed the full playlist of levels, then this prisoner will unlock as your reward!
 
Check out the two co-op playlists that we just featured this week in Furbottom’s Features:
 
Featured Co-Op Playlist for XBLA:
Crash Cup Coop by RBSfreekill
Difficulty Rating: Expert
 
Featured Co-Op Playlist for Steam:
BoomerLands by Syntaxx
Difficulty Rating: Expert

 

 

Our definition of “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!
