We already let you know last month that Battleblock Theatre would have a Linux version, the best news is the date is now set for the release and it will be simultaneous on Linux & Windows.

QuoteWhat’s May 15th got to do with anything? Oh, I remember now. BattleBlock Theater is releasing on Steam for Windows & Linux! Yes that’s what I wanted to say. And that’s all. Nothing else to say.

The game itself looks pretty quirky and that's a good thing, while i tend to talk down about platformers in the past Escape Goat 2 officially made me like them again for just how smooth it was.

Battleblock Theatre releases in around 2 weeks time on Steam with some fun looking art and solid looking game-play. It looks like the game itself is whacky as hell and could be a real indie gem for co-op players with lots of frantic jumping around grabbing jems.

About
