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!
 

Buh-bye Monsters; Hello community playlists!

by

Welcome to another exciting week of BattleBlock Theater Furbottom’s Features! This week we’re updating both the Co-Op feature and the Solo feature since we had a month of Monster Playlists.
 
We’re done talking about us for a bit, so let us talk more about you. It’s fun to see what ideas the community comes up with using the built in Level-Editor and so here we are back to highlighting some of those awesome levels:
 
Cooperative Playlists in Furbottom’s Features
 
XBLA Co-Op Feature
Togetherwefail3 by leveldesignguy (Re-featured)
Difficulty level: Intermediate
 
Steam Co-Op Feature
Testing by Byrone
Difficulty level: Intermediate

 

 

Solo Playlists in Furbottom’s Features
Our Behemoth-made Monster Playlists took over the Furbottom’s Features slots for a bit, so we decided to bring back the solo playlists that did not get the full 4 week run. BBT players have two more weeks to try out these solo features, especially if you didn’t get to the first time!
 
XBLA Solo Feature
GiganticBlock by QuirkyTurky
Difficulty level: Expert
 
Steam Solo Feature
Orange Blocks by Getlucky12341
Difficulty level: Intermediate
 
FeaturePost_THIEFCompleting all the levels in any of these playlists will be an amazing feat and you’ll be rewarded when you finish all the stages!
 
Wait! Are you being rewarded or has it been stolen?! The Thief is here to rob the spotlight this week in BattleBlock Theater. Finish Furbottom’s Features Solo or Co-op playlist to capture this bold bandit before she bolts.
