BattleBlock Theatre is a bright looking, challenging 2D platformer that doesn't take itself to serious.
Story:
You and your friends get stranded, and somehow you end up being imprisoned in a theatre by a bunch of cats.
The goal is to free Hatty Hattington by performing your way through the theatre.
The narrator with all of it's sarcastic comments and humor often cheered me up.
Gameplay
You can either play this solo or in co-op mode with up to 3 friends.
I did enjoy the solo mode, but seeing a friend gifted this to me so we could play together I've mostly played co-op with him, and I don't regret it at all: We had a blast!~
On normal modes you can activate checkpoints and have an infinite amount of lives... You can also push other people around, annoy them by trapping and, well, killing them.
Especially when you're also talking on teamspeak (For me the in-game voicechat had some kind of annoying echo) you sometimes can't stop laughing due to failing/seeing the other fail, push them off once they finally make it, etc. etc.
Seeing most levels don't have a time limit. and there's no game-offer, you don't have to feel guilty about it either: There's no consequence whatsoever, except that they have to run back from whatever the last safepoint was.
There are a LOT of ways to customise your character: With the gems you collect in the levels you can buy heads in a certain shape, though it's always a surprise how the head you get will look like.
You can also buy weapons: There's a firebolt that sets monsters, and friends, on fire. The downside is that they can spread the fire.
There's an iceblockcannon that, well, turns things into iceblocks.
My favourite weapon was a frog with a hat... That'd run around until he explodes.
Overall
An awesomely fun platformer with a perfect sense of humor you just have to give a try.
Wether you enjoy the story mode, or mess around in one of the other modes, you are almost guaranteed to have a good time!
