Sharing chocolate with friends
Yesterday, we announced the Chocolate Update of Blocks That Matter.
Yesterday, a new Humble Bundle appeared, introducing Voxatron from Lexaloffle Games. What’s the link between the stories?
Well,the Chocolate Update is based on “Chocolate Castle“, another game by Lexaloffle Games. And there’s more…
Blocks That Matter is now part of the Humble Voxatron Debut, beside The Binding of Isaac. Visit the Humble Bundle website and name your price!

Honestly, it’s hard to find the right words to describe how we feel being part of this bundle with 2 other great games made by 2 great developers, Lexaloffle (Joseph White) and Edmund McMillen.
Well, the Chocolate Update is now available through the bundle. Steam version (and others) will be updated in the next hours or days so everyone will be able to play with “chocolate slimes” before the end of the week, hopefully. For those who love bulletpoints, here is the content of the Chocolate Update:
– 10 new levels based on “Chocolate Castle” by Lexaloffle Games
– 2 soundtracks based on “Chocolate Castle” music, remixed by Morusque
– 6 chocolate blocks and slimes to play with and to use in your own levels
– And now you can add “stars” to your own levels to challenge Blocks That Matter community players
Have fun, sailors.
Hi,
I just installed Blocks that matters through Desura (used the .deb from the HIB before). But now I don’t have the chocolate levels anymore. 🙁
Is the Desura version going to be updated soon with the chocolate levels? Just so that I can use Desura to launch almost all games. 🙂
P.S.: Also had to copy over my game saves with:
cp ~/BlocksThatMatterUserDatas/Blocks\ That\ Matter\ Save/Slot01/BTMsave.sav.dat “$DESURADIR/common/blocks-that-matter/Blocks That Matter Save/Slot01”
Good for you of getting into the bundle!
I had the game already but purchased the bundle to get Voxatron…
This previous bug must be addressed thanks to the hotfix you’ll find in the Q&Ahttp://www.swingswingsubmarine.com/2011/11/05/qa-hello-it/
Thanks!
Hi Astar!
It’s a bug I’m doing to hotfix right now!
Here is the reproduction:
– go to the chocolate update play some levels
– return to the level selection in the chocolate update
– replay some level in the chocolate update
– exit the game without playing any main adventure levels (because this could have restored your upgrades correctly)
The fix I’ll provide will autopatch the saves, so no need to redo some levels…
In the meantime (the 15 next minutes), you can always replay the levels where you found the upgraders in the first places… but it does’nt sound fun at all!
Thanks!
It becomes without upgrading when I play “The Underground Rescue” level after having played a chocolate level.
@Willi @Diablo: Thank you!
@Dylan: Guillaume is working on few bug fixes and install problems that appeared with the new Humble Bundle users. But don’t worry, Desura (and the other platforms) will all be updated.
I bought the Linux version of the game on Desura. Any chance of us getting an update any time soon? 🙂
Chocolate update = Winning
Yay! Congratulations!! I’ve always thought that BTM would be perfect for a Humble Bundle. 😀
