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

There’s no turning back once you've started on your quest to free over 300 of your imprisoned friends from evil technological cats. Immerse yourself in this mind bending tale of treachery as you use your arsenal of weapon-tools to battle your way through hundreds of levels in order to discover the puzzling truth behind BattleBlock Theater.
