Battleblock Theater co-op is the digital manifestation of the love tap, without the risk of permanently injuring one of your best friends. When I play with a friend, any friend, we not only attempt to blow through levels in record time and collect all the gems and balls of yarn, but we throw exploding saucers at each other, slide-kick each other into bodies of water, or just flat-out punch each other whenever possible. Playing with another person doesn't necessarily make anything within the game itself easier, more challenging or better, but it alters the experience on the other side of the screen in a tangible way. It's not that the levels themselves are boring alone, as there's still a challenge to be found in navigating a field of lasers, leaping over rows of spikes, crossing unswimmable pools or taking down pesky cats – it's just more fun with a friend. We'll get to the less helpful (and more entertaining) things in a minute.įor a single player, the campaign is completely accessible, but it's not nearly as enjoyable. And these are just the helpful things you can do with a friend. With a friend, players are able to throw their partners onto distant platforms at the touch of a button, pull each other up, stand on top of one another, or have one player activate light beams and bridges while the other gathers gems on the other side. Campaign levels have players collect gems and balls of yarn, which can be used to unlock new characters and weapons, respectively. This is all on top of the environmental hazards like slippery ice, sticky purple goo, spiky death traps and fire blocks that launch players at incredible speeds. The mechanics involve platformer standards, including double jumps, clinging to poles, aiming leaps onto tiny squares, and some fresh twists with a variety of projectiles, punching and kicking. Bringing a buddy along for the adventure adds a layer of complexity and broadens the available entertainment options – it alters the physical layout of the levels, allowing players to play off of one another to solve various puzzles. The campaign in Battleblock Theater allows two-player local or online co-op. The levels are indeed crafted entirely out of blocks, and presented in distinct rectangles and squares, presenting each stage on an actual stage – as the cats' prisoners, players perform these levels for an audience of dapper felines. The game's story is adorable, presented by a hilarious narrator that speaks with a tense apathy and dark humor befitting a game about friendship, a friend ship and a prison on an island lorded over by evil cats. Each mode shines when sharing every acrobatic feat and violent, horrible death with a loved one. We're playing this." And so we did, all night long.%Gallery-184916% Battleblock Theater is a puzzle-platformer beat-em-up made to play with friends, in person if possible.
We started with "Ball Game." After two hours of passing the controllers, running through various levels, rolling in laughter and punching each other whenever a sweet move went awry, someone suggested we start up The Walking Dead. Arena mode features a handful of four-player mini-games, all of which are co-op, two-on-two or every man for himself. This week we started our screen session with a local co-op round of The Behemoth's Battleblock Theater in Arena mode. Except, of course, a really good excuse to beat each other up. It's a joyful, heartfelt tradition that we look forward to each week, and not much distracts us from this routine. By "watch" I mean we make fun of the terrible acting and bemoan the missing parts that made the comic so good. Yes saves do work.Every week, a group of friends and I get together to watch the television show, The Walking Dead.
There are programs to have multiple keyboards working with one computer I have seen it but never used it.
There is a simple way look up sandboxie and use it. Lol, I use a VM for TF2 but not other games. Or, at least, not intended, meaning achievements and saves aren't going to work properly anyway. Because (I'm pretty strongly believing this) it isn't possible. So more realistically, if there were some simple way to log in twice on one computer, the game is still not set up to identify multiple profiles.
BATTLEBLOCK THEATER LOCAL CO OP INSTALL
I could maybe see the slight possibility of technically having two people logged in on one system (Set up a VM, install Steam + game, log in on VM + PC simultaneously, boot game on each setup, play online via "LAN" - Not really LAN, but recognized as such, route one player's input to the VM, run with PC in full screen, and play co-op "locally" with two accounts), but I can't see many people wanting to go through that effort.
