Having played and enjoyed both Alien Hominid (GCN) (2004) and Castle Crashers (PC) (2012), the chances that I would also enjoy BattleBlock Theater were high.
Gameplay: Merely finishing a level in BattleBlock Theater may be rather straightforward, but collecting all the gems, finding the level's hidden yarn ball, and finishing in a timely manner will require some additional playtime and clever use of the level's environment.
Thoughts:
Pros:
+ Short, fun gameplay
+ Funny narration (especially the intro)
+ Unlock characters and tools.
Neutral:
~ Essential controls are explained during gameplay, but I would recommend the player check out the full list of controls from the menu screen.
Unknown:
? Co-op
Recommendation:
BattleBlock Theater serves up an enjoyable platforming experience and I would definitely recommend it to gamers who enjoy platformers and anybody who enjoys any of The Behemoth's other games (e.g., Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers) should consider playing it.

I tried resuming this game today. It appears I've previously played the first two chapters. Today I revisted a couple of those levels and then completed the third chapter. However, the game lacks an addictive appeal.
Steam Game Time: 102 minutes (total game time) / 63 minutes (session game time)
