But yes, you heard that right – BattleBlock Theater’s Quality of Life Remaster is here as a FREE update to all who own the game already! I bet you’re all very excited to see Hatty Hattington again, but in case you want to learn more about what’s been happening to BattleBlock Theater behind the curtains, you’re in the right place. Behold your eyes to the dazzling “Quality of Life Remaster Changelog!” Please note that this game was recoded in its entirety, meaning so many small changes have been made that listing them all out here would wrap around the planet Earth three times in its entirety! Yes, really!!! We’ve decided to list only the juiciest of changes here for your convenience. Enjoy! ##### General Changes **1. Game Menu** Menus are now more responsive than before with improved graphic and text visuals. Mouse scrolling support has been added where applicable. Dazzling! **2. Art Resolution** BattleBlock Theater’s art no longer has a fixed resolution, making everything look more crisp on high resolution displays. No more crunchy compression! **3. Cats Harmed** A new “Cats Harmed” number now appears in the credits to reflect the amount of murder committed by the player. Mwehehehe! **4. Steam Inventory Updates** Improvements have been made to Gem and Yarn stacking in player inventories. **5. Rich Presence** Rich Presence is now implemented, so your friends can see when you’ve been stuck in INSANE mode for hours at a time! **6. Join Codes** Join Codes can now be used in Online Sessions! You no longer have to add users to your Friends List to play online or hunt for achievements together. **7. Level Previews** Level Previews now have improved graphic fidelity. **8. Controller and Gamepad Support** Support for more controller types has been added, including X1, XSX, XSS, PS4, PS5, Switch Pro, and more! Steam Input compatibility has been added! **9. Guest Users** In Online Sessions, guest users now display the main user whose game they’ve joined. **10. Custom Head Improvements – Hotfix Imminent!** Custom Heads should look better than ever! We added support for a decal image that has non-colorized elements. **Note**: this will be working as intended with the first hotfix to hit the game sometime this week. Oops! **11. Audio Improvements** Buckle your pants, pull up your socks and dance because there are now higher audio bitrates for delicious sound! **12. Minor Art Cleanup** We cleaned up some Cat Guard art here and there to make things silky smooth! But wait, aren’t cats supposed to clean themselves? **13. Leaderboard Reset** All BattleBlock Theater leaderboards except the Global Ranking leaderboard have been reset. To repost your high score for any of the Arena leaderboards, you must win a match in that specific mode. Get to it, then! ##### Gameplay Changes **1. Raccoon Monster** Raccoon Monsters now move on conveyor belts properly when waking up and walk on Secret Blocks properly. **2. Cat Guards** Cat Guard enemies avoid Water Blocks more than previously, and Gem Agent enemies now flee from the player more consistently. **3. Lift Blocks** Lift Blocks no longer kill you when you’re crouching beneath them. Hooray! **4. Teleport Blocks** Players can no longer travel through a Teleporter that has a Trigger Block directly in front of it. Once the Trigger is activated and the block is removed, the Teleporter can be used normally. Beam me up, Hatty! **5. Fan Blocks** Fan Blocks are now stronger, especially if you're standing on Ice Blocks. **6. Boulders** Touching the bottom of a boulder no longer kills you. Warning: they will still crush you if you're on the ground! **7. Horse… Tofu?** Horses falling into enemies mounted or unmounted now behave more consistently. **8. Acid Bubble (Weapon Tool)** Acid Bubbles now function properly _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/238460/view/505106153175253580]_
