The fine folks over atThe Behemothhave shined the spotlight on a new set of prisoners for the upcomingBattleblock Theater. The two new prisoners are the undead duo of Prisoner #10334 (a.k.a The Mummy) and Prisoner #10401 (a.k.a. The Skull).
According to thebiographyof Prisoner #10334, The Mummy was a grocer some time ago when it developed a terrible case of plastybolsaphobia, the fear of plastic bags. The Skull however seems to be getting a reputation for being a “poor, lazy Mummy” or a “naked hobo-mummy”, if you will, for its poor choice of battle apparel. Along with introducing the new prisoners, the video also showcases some of the creative ways that players can “cooperate” together in order to get more gems or to get to out of reach locations.
The Behemothhas always been one of my favorite indie studios, ever since I first playedAlien Hominid. Their character designs and humor have made them stand out from the crowd and I can’t wait to giveBattleblock Theatera go in 2012. Plus, I have to stick up for all my Skull brethren out there. Where do you stand on The Mummy versus The Skull debate?
