Castle Crashers 5-Years & NEW BBT Special Prisoner

by

Five years ago, we released our second game title: Castle Crashers. It started off on Xbox LIVE, then a couple years later it was on PlayStation and most recently we joined the Steam community.

Thanks to the support of our fans we were able to reach over 4 million downloads across the three different platforms since 2008! It has both motivated and allowed us to continue pursuing our dream of making original content for games.

FeaturePost_GIRAFFEYFor the super fans of Castle Crashers and our recently released Xbox LIVE title, BattleBlock Theater, we have unlocked a special prisoner just for you! One of my favorite animal orbs is being released into the puzzling world of BBT:

All you have to do is sign in to Xbox LIVE and boot up your full version of BattleBlock Theater. Once you’re in the game, click around a bit in the menus and Giraffey should unlock for you.

BattleBlock Theater Now Out on XBLA

by

Hello friends,

I write to you today to let you know we’ve made you something.  It took us a little over 4 years but it’s finally here.  That’s the most time we’ve put into something, and I think it shows!  It is my overwhelming pleasure to announce BattleBlock Theater‘s release.

What was once an idea grew into the most expansive idea we’ve ever had, even though it wasn’t initially conceived to be.  It demanded more and we gave it more.  It’s our largest game to date in every possible way with our most involved story we’ve ever written.  I’d be surprised if this thing’s story wasn’t twice the length of Castle Crashers.  It’s got hundreds of unlockables and even more levels than that.  It’s got a soundtrack that rivals our previous best.  You’ll find hours of recorded narration that is natural and uplifting.

You might find friendship, betrayal, cats, and something in between all that.  You’ll also find a gift or two waiting for you if you’ve gotten an achievement in Castle Crashers and/or Alien Hominid.  A small token of our appreciation for keeping our team alive… almost 10 years now and counting!!

For the excited: You can pick up our little gem for 1200 Microsoft Points on XBLA, 4/3/2013.

For the ones without a friend handy:  Don’t worry – You can just host a Story Mode game online, or if that’s not your thing there’s also a Single player Story!

For the skeptics:  Oh you! There’s a free demo you can try out either alone or with a friend, so no sweat off your back if you ever want to look!

For the ones listening to “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses:  Please don’t forget it’s only April.  Though I suppose there’s a lot of rain outside the theater so it’s still fitting.

Enjoy and Thank you,
-Dan
