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:

BattleBlock Theater Coming Soon to PC!
In the 1970s, the personal computer took off and revolutionized the world. Somewhere in a parallel universe and time, a feline-run theater closed down but was soon visited by voyagers who had lost their way when a huge storm brewed–There was thunder (BOOM) and then there was lightning (BOOM)!
And now in 2014, we’re announcing that Hatty, his friends, and the S.S. Friendship will be colliding with that revolutionary box in your home–the other one…
Watch our announcement trailer below and by the time you’re finished with it, you’ll have one word stuck in your head all day: STEAM!!!
Nothing subliminal about it. BattleBlock Theater is coming soon to Steam and new things are coming with it.
New Features
-Weapon switching! Players can now switch between a primary and secondary weapon in game!
-New Cat Guard enemies throughout Story Mode.
-Steam Workshop integration for sharing user created levels.
-Steam Inventory integration for trading! This allows users to trade and sell weapons, prisoners, gems and yarn via Steam.

BattleBlock Theater Steam (version) is going to manifest moments in your mind you never thought would be possible. Don’t believe us? Try the game yourself before it even makes its official release on Steam.
From March 24, 2014 to March 31, 2014, we’ll be holding a Closed Beta for this upcoming PC edition of our game. A Closed Beta means you’ll need to register to get a beta key, but anyone 13-years-old and up are welcome to sign up!
The Beta start date is of course subject to change. We’re still updating and testing a bunch of items, and in the event something doesn’t feel right we might adjust the beta start. Regardless of this, we encourage you to register now.
