Battleblocks theather local coop

BattleBlock Theater does not support co-op play with both users on a single keyboard.

However, you can play locally with up to two people in Story Mode, or four people in Arena Mode by using both the keyboard and one controller for each additional person. So, for example, you could play co-op with one keyboard and one gamepad, or two gamepads.

The game does NOT support hotswapping. Your controller must be plugged in, and all drivers must be correctly applied and the controller detected by your PC PRIOR to booting BattleBlock Theater.

Additionally, the game will assume that the first device you touch on the Main Menu screen is the one you want to use. If you use a keyboard to select an item on the Main Menu, only your keyboard will respond until you reboot the game or return to the Main Menu!

Your controller should be auto-detected and function at boot if it's XInput or DirectInput API -- the game supports both of these.

If your controller is XInput or DirectInput but still does not work, you may want to uninstall and reinstall your drivers, just to make sure that they aren't outdated or corrupt.

If this controller is not one of the supported APIs, you can try a controller emulation program to get it to run with BattleBlock Theater. However, please note that The Behemoth does not recommend any particular emulator or third-party driver, as they can cause issues in the game and with your computer's general performance.
