The Behemoth, the creators of downloadable favorite Castle Crashers, have a new game on the way. BattleBlock Theater is all about working with a friend to complete puzzling platforming levels. It also has a chaotic, 4-player arena mode which pits players against one another in creative competitive platforming games.

Adam Biessener and I got the chance to sit down and play a healthy dose of BattleBlock Theater during The Behemoth's recent office visit. While we weren't allowed to capture any of that footage, we did have a nice little reminiscent chat about the fun.

BattleBlock Theater is due out on 360 next year.

    This looks cool and all, but I want more Alien Hominid!

    These turtle head commercials before every video are so annoying.

    The game looks cool though.

    I cannot wait for this game! Been looking forward since the hilarious announcement trailer. Still hoping for a PSN release, but XBL is better than nothing.

    I hadn't heard from this game in a while, I was starting to get worried. Looks unique to say the least.

    I've been waiting for this game for some time. I'm glad it's still in production. It was slated to release this, or a last year, but either way I hope the extra time on it means it's going to be nicely polished and fun to play.

    I can't wait.

    It's getting to be a joke how long this game is taking. Waiting hurts

    I have been waiting for this game for around 2 - 3 years. It looked fun, and I simply just adore all of Behemoths games. Just cannot wait for 360 release...blarg..what time...gah! I want NOW!

    This game is taking a REALLY long time to make for a downloadable 2D platformer, and it's been building up a lot of hype in that time. Most big AAA retail titles don't even take this long to develop. I hope this doesn't end up being the DNF of indie games.

    Im frustrated at behemoth because for the past couple months its been ALL castle crasher related.

    I've actually been looking forward to this particular game...

    Still bummed that a glitch prevented me from getting the hat achievement in Alien Hominid (though that probably got patched).

    Also bummed that Castle Crashers lost my save one time.

    But not bummed that this game still exists!

    Looks Little Big Planet-esque.
