Right from the off, it’s clear that BattleBlock Theater comes from the same minds that conjured up the cartoon splendour of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Comic strip buffoonery and a focus on solid 2D action are the bread and butter of The Behemoth’s output, and their latest adventure builds on that foundation well with an endearing sense of character and exhaustive spread of thoughtful puzzle platforming challenges.
Castle Crashers is just as fun today as it was a decade ago, writes Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee.
Newgrounds fundamentally changed indie gaming and independent animation. Now it's struggling for the very reasons it was so influential -- creative freedom.
Interesting story. I haven't heard about newgrounds in years. The site was great and I hope the people that still frequent the site choose to support it. If not, you should give it a Viking funeral.

Having grown up on early-90s platformers like Commander Keen and Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure, and playing both of The Behemoth’s previous titles, it seemed only a natural choice to pick up the fabulous Battleblock Theater.
The Behemoth have advanced their status in the gaming world by finally adding actual speech to their games instead of just speech bubbles filled with witticisms and exclamations. They have employed the voice talents of Will Stamper of Newgrounds, StamperTV and OneyCartoons. Here, he is the much-loved-and-loathed narrator."
This game, just get it, i'm having a BLAST with it!
going to stay over at a friend's house, with 3 others, and play this all night long :D
Finally a decent game that isn't a gray toned fps.
