These levels are difficult, they’re funny when you screw up, and they’re fun to figure out with a friend as you two take turns dying in the most clever of ways. It’s not always straightforward, you might have to sit and construct a solution, and it doesn’t always just involve platforming skills. You send your friend to hit that button there, making those boxes disappear, but then jump quickly to the other end to initiate the holographic bridge and then launch your friend to the other side while jumping off to make the bridge disappear. Then there are trickier areas that can be called more puzzles than they are platforms. You’ll be making tricky jumps towards seemingly impossible landings while avoiding moving saw blades and, oh, by the way, all of the landings are made out of bouncy blocks that propel you at the angle you manage to hit it from. This platformer gets seriously challenging. The first few levels are a breeze, a chance to get familiar with the basic buttons and concepts, but don’t let that fool you. Sometimes the (fantastic) music even has cats singing in meows in the background. You are a prisoner, one of thousands, and the bodyguard-looking cats-complete with serious business sunglasses-attack you and keep you imprisoned, fated to perform in each of these levels for their delight. The rest of the humor is also downright silly, sometimes involving hilariously accurate jabs at cats. It has a narrator who cracks butt jokes frequently. Laugh some more.īattleBlock Theater is funny without your antics, too. You laugh as you both race through each world’s end chapter, because these specific levels are timed, while accidentally sabotaging each other’s intended path because you blocked their landing or bumped into each other on a jump. You smile slyly as your friend’s corpse becomes your bridge. But you pulled it off and you both giggled either way. Maybe the game’s designers-The Behemoth-never intended for you to use your friend’s body, mid-air, as a platform. When you’ve got BattleBlock Theater, spending time with a friend means cracking open a few beers and laughing at the stunts you managed to pull off. It makes you want to plan your weekend around it, including it, everything to do with it. I don’t stay up until 4:30am, not normally, not since college really.īattleBlock Theater is a game that draws you in. I’m ok with staying up until 2:30am on a Friday night.
The second time I played Battleblock Theater was on a Friday night. I don’t stay up until 2am when I have to wake up at 7am for work, not normally. The first time I played it was in the middle of the work week. BattleBlock Theater is what I want to do on a Friday night.
