Over 250,000 Castle Crasher downloads and counting photo

One would imagine that The Behemoth developers Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin wake up laughing every morning due to the critical and commercial success of their scrolling brawler Castle Crashers. Paladin revealed that Castle Crashers has now found its way to over 250,000 hard drives across the world. Not too shabby, I suppose.

"I was optimistic and hopeful for Castle Crashers, but I wasn't prepared for the reception it got," explained the game's artist. 

Alien Hominid HD has also enjoyed success off the back of Castle Crashers, and Paladin claims that around five times the amount of people than usual have started playing it since CC launched. 

Dan also addressed the notorious network issues and stated that a patch has been created, but it needs to be tested thoroughly. "It is not a simple process of fix something and release an update," he stated. "You fix, you test, you verify in as many situations as possible, you fix again if you need to, you submit the update to Microsoft, they verify the fix, etcetera."

Well, with all due respect, HURRY IT THE HELL UP, MAN! That troll boss won't defeat itself on Insane Mode and I need some bloody help, stat!

Want to play this game so badly but the only guy I know with a 360 lives over 400 miles away. Bah. He'll be up around christmas though, see it then I guess...

Also Dan Paladin is so amazing, fact seeing his art, double fact listening to Podtoid.

If they sold exactly 250,000 copies then they would have amassed two million dollars (250,000 x $8). Yikes.

Me and my roommate managed to kill the troll the third time around, but one of his minions giltched in the air( Was just hanging out floating mocking us) and would not die, we thought we would have had to do it all over again because the scripted events only happen when all the little buggers die. But as luck would have it the boomarang saved the day and vaporized him.......

Ride that crappin deer!

I love everything about this game. The art, music, the absurdity, the diarrhea-powered deer. Bravo Behemoth, bravo

Tom Fulp is cool for giving me my own Radiohead section on Newgrounds.com and e-mailing me about it. Good times. He also had lunch with my friend Mark in New York who helped him with some programming on various flash programs...

The best part is, I was a level 22 with my blue knight and then all of a sudden I wasnt anymore.

It was the best.

I'm been so damn close to killing that Troll boss on insane solo... Then I got caught by his minions and was gang-raped.

Just stay at a distance and use a shitload of magic on the troll boss (insane). Green knight is pretty good for this, with the poison damage, but I beat him with my leveled up ninja. Stay away from the little fuzzy guys, because you're dead if you get trapped between them.
