Sales is as sales does, and this month has been full of them! Last week we had some special deals in store for all of the singles out there, but this week we’re flipping things around completely and encouraging some more co-op as we take part in Steam’s Remote Play Together Sale from November 20th to November 25th!



That means that from Wednesday, November 20th at 8 AM PT through Monday, November 25th at 8 AM PT, all of our games will be on sale on Steam! Get Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theater for 80% off, or Pit People for 40% off, then test out remote play with somewhere from one to three of your closest friends!

For those who don’t know, Steam’s new Remote Play feature allows users to play games with local co-op modes together — even if they aren’t in the same room. You can learn more about this shiny new feature here. It looks like it’s going to be an excellent new way to spend quality time gaming with your friends!

We hope you enjoy the steals and deals, but don’t forget — holiday shopping is coming next! It’s almost like the fun never ends.

From today through November 1st at 10 AM PT, all of our games will be on sale on Steam as part of the Steam Halloween Sale!


Our games might not be the spooky scariest, but those cat guards from BattleBlock Theater can be pretty intimidating with their claws and what not. Same with the skeletons in Castle Crashers — all bones and no flesh! And the wraiths and zombies in Pit People are frightening too!! AH, okay, maybe we sort of are scary!



Anyway, if you’re feeling less afraid than I am, you’ll be able to pick up Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater for the frighteningly good price of 80% off, and Pit People for a scary good deal of 40% off! OOOoooOOOooo!

On top of that, don’t forget that we’re also holding our (almost) annual Behemoth Halloween Contest. Make a Behemoth-inspired Halloween decoration and share a picture to social media using the hashtag #BehemothHalloween, and you could be a winner! You can find more on that here.

We hope you find all of this Halloween fun to be a sweet treat!

If you saw last week’s blog post about our upcoming European tradeshow tour, then you know that we’re in England for EGX London today! As a part of the show happenings, we’re also taking part in Steam’s special Live from London sale that also kicks off today. This means that friends (that’s you) will be able to get discounts on our games whether they’re at the show or not!



From October 17th (today) through October 20th, all Behemoth games on Steam will be on sale during the entirety of Valve’s Live from London Steam Sale! This one is quick and will only last through the weekend, so you’re going to want to act fast if you want to take advantage of all the sweet deals.

It’s a great time to get Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theater (or both of them) for yourself or a friend, because the two games will be on sale for a whopping 80% off! That’s no small savings on hours of fun. Beyond the classics you know and love, Pit People will also be available for 40% off! If you haven’t played our newest game, you’ll want to pick up the turn-based adventure.

It’s the perfect time to round out your Behemoth games collection, on Steam… just make sure you do so before the sale ends on October 20th.

There’s a chill in the air, and things are starting to feel just a little bit spooky. That could only mean one of two things: either someone left the door open, or it’s almost Halloween!

We just checked and the door is definitely shut, so we’re going with Halloween… which means it’s time for our very own Halloween contest! This year we’re looking for Behemoth-inspired Halloween decorations to fill us with fright and delight.



To enter, just post a photo of your Behemoth Halloween decor to Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook using the hashtag #BehemothHalloween before November 3rd, 2019 at 11:59 PM PT. We will review the entries and select three winners during the first week of November, with one winner for each category: (1) Best in Show, (2) Most Creative, and (3) Spooky Scariest. As the category names suggest, we will be judging based on creativity, originality, and the ability to make us feel things, scary or otherwise. The winner of each category will receive TWO Pit People figurines!

Check out all the official rules and deets here:

• No purchase necessary.
  
• Must be 18 or older to enter (if in the US), or have parental consent.
  
• Group entries are allowed! (Only one prize pack per winning individual or group).
  
• Your entry must be your own creation (or your group’s, parent’s, family’s).
  
• Only new decoration entries will be accepted (entries that were submitted in previous years will not be eligible).
  
• Decorations can include pumpkin carvings, special treats, or other decorations in or outside of your home… but they don’t have to! Mix it up, and be creative!
  
• You may enter more than one unique entry.
  
• International participants are welcome!

If you need a little inspiration to kick start your art, you can take a gander at the winners from our last Halloween contest here!

Later this month when macOS Catalina 10.15 releases, Apple will be ending support for 32-bit Mac applications. This means that if you update to the new macOS you will no longer be able to use any 32-bit Mac applications that you have, which may include BattleBlock Theater. However, these games will not be removed from your library and will continue working on earlier versions of the macOS as well as Windows.

If you want to keep our (and others') 32-bit games playable on your Mac, you have several options. Workarounds include not upgrading your macOS or using the application Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac computer. To learn more about your other options and how all of the coming changes will effect Mac users, please see Steam’s FAQ here.

Buckle your pants swim trunks, put on your summer shades, and splash into some splendid news!

Five years ago, we launched our 3rd game, BattleBlock Theater, on XBLA! We took the platformer genre and inserted our humor & art style into this game; This game where players run around an abandoned theater being forced to do stage plays by evil and technologically advanced felines.

Since then, we’ve also brought it to Windows, Linux, and Mac OS in the STEAM version!
