I haven't seen a ton of BattleBlock Theater, the upcoming new release from developer The Behemoth, but this latest trailer has totally sold me on the game.

Following the trials of prisoner #10326 (a.k.a. the poet), this trailer shows off some of the intense platforming challenges that players will be tasked to perform using tar blocks. These sticky platforms allow the player to slide down walls or wall jump between two surfaces, but they can also make getting away from enemies and obstacles a challenge.

Check out the trailer below. It's certainly convinced me to keep an eye out for this game.

Reminds me of Super Meat Boy, but more detailed. And are those people sitting in a theater at the bottom, or am I crazy?

The Behemoth is awesome. Love their games and this has been looking great each time I see it, though some multiplayer videos would be nice. Still, I'll be picking this up whenever it comes out which is hopefully soon because it feels like forever since it was announced.

That looks frustrating as hell.

This isn't out yet? come on! they've been working on this for ages!
by badantjoka4k Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 04:20 PM

Gotta buy this. I love Castle Crashers and Behemoth. (But not Alien Hominid lol)
by Cameron Koch Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 04:21 PM

I am such a fan of Castle Crashers that I am going to check this game out just because it is developed by the Behemoth.
by Sakaerion Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 04:34 PM

i want this game so bad. castle crashers was amazing, and im sure this will be too.
by muranell Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 05:28 PM

So Microsoft is publishing this. Bummer, I was hopping that this was going to be multiplatform.
by blackhawk2794 Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 05:50 PM

immediately sold on this. Looks like awesome solid fun
by Anticitizen-One Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 05:50 PM

I played Alien Hominid and loved it. Bought Castle Crashers and adored it. I'm excited for this one :P!
by El Nin10dork Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 06:24 PM

Funny stuff!
by benderstrike64 Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 06:37 PM

Can't wait!
by manbearpig894 Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 06:40 PM

Looks like a mix between Castle Crashers and Super Meat Boy.
by Breaker Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 08:05 PM

But WHEEEEEN
by Platinum Slime Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 08:43 PM

The Behemoth pumps out nothing but awesome. I look forward to this.
by Todd Hatchback Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 08:54 PM

And it ends with a Cowboy Bebop reference like I wasn't already sold...
by hiromu656 Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 09:03 PM

This game looks pretty interesting, the Behemoth certainly does great work. The ending made me think of Cowboy Bebop.
