Battleblock Theater|Extended Practice

BattleBlock Theater is a platform game developed by The Behemoth and published by Microsoft Studios on Xbox360 (it was also a part of the Games with Gold offer last year).
Okay, so it's another game that caught my interest when working on FernFlower. Why? The stick-puppet style of cutscenes! While game concentrates on battling the evil kittens and collecting gems, cutscenes are used to explain a story in a fun and freshway. Style is very simple and cute, while animation matches the way characters are designed perfectly. They really do feel like pieces of paper attached to the stick!
Many solutions I saw in BattleBlock Theater won't be used in FernFlower, but I'll definately try to take some of the vibe and feel of character movement. And use it as inspiration for future projects.
