Somehow, I (Colin) helped making a video game that came to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita mere days ago. Indeed, it's been quite the journey, and for as hard as I might have worked, developer Barry Johnson of Lillymo Games worked substantially harder. He's the one that approached me to make this game; I was lucky enough to merely be along for the ride, give the brick-breaker a story, and help evangelize it to the public. Now that it's in the wild, though, I figured it would be a good time for Barry and I to sit down and talk about the process of making Twin Breaker, giving you guys and gals as much background information as we possibly can. Where did the idea come from? What's it like working with Sony? How was it passing QA? What would we do differently? Can you expect it to come to other platforms? Will we work together again... and if so, on what? We talk about all of that -- and much more -- on the other side of the play button. And, hey: Thanks again for supporting us and our game. Without you, none of this would be possible.

Proud to have this game be 2 of my 7 ever Platinums! It's a lot of fun

Evan Bederman

Very excited to listen, but does this contain spoilers? Should I hold off if I haven't played the game yet?

Enjoying the game... On level 39 at moment 👍. How many levels is there?

Ross Joseph

I've been playing this game for hours...and as the levels go on, I've realised my ability to game gets worse as I get older. I'll still finish it though.

Twin Breaker coming in our time of need to alleviate our isolation psychosis.

I bought twin breakers on my Vita this morning, but I had to search the store to find it. When I went to the "new games" section it was not displayed there. Anyone else have to type in twin breakers into the PS Store on vita to find the game?

DB Cooper

I hope twin breaker brings people to Barry’s other games too. High tide raising boats and all that. I love Habroxia and am loving Twin Breaker, good job you guys!

JD

No spoilers beyond talking about the main premise

Kershon Chapman

Man I bought the ps4 version even though I don’t have one, but I’m excited to actually play it now that I know its coming to switch.

I didnt realize you only needed 20 S Ranks for the trophy, I spent so much time getting S on all 40 stages. Any tips on the trophy for getting all 10 power ups in 1 level?

That must be a killer! Some of levels are tough.. What level you on?

Dom posa

Been stuck on 2 collectibles since the day it came out. Level 27 and 39 cost me a top 10 plat on ps4. Love the game and my wife and daughter are also surprisingly into it. My wife is playing it on vita and it’s her first time touching a vita. She’s never looked sexier so thank you for that.

I missed some text because the game auto advanced it sometimes. FYI for next time. The X prompt is there but if you don't press it it still moves along. My nitpick so far.

Barry M. Johnson

Hey, we got this feedback a lot. The good news is that it has already been patched and no longer auto advances text. All versions except the PS Vita EU have the patch live already, that version's patch will be up soon.

Barry M. Johnson

Play on New Game + and find a level with many bricks. You may also want to stick to a level where the paddles are on the bottom so it is easier not to miss any powerups.

This is my favorite SS+ so far. Extremely insightful, very open regarding the behind the scenes info (you bought into Lillymo, so it really IS permanent!), this is awesome news. I'm so proud of you guys. The trophies being named after songs was my favorite part of reviewing the game, I laid the songs in question underneath while the trophy title showed on screen. Excellent touch. It was really interesting hearing that the Sacred Symbols logo wasn't approved. I'm not surprised, I get it, and I was indeed thinking when I booted it up, "wait where's the logo?" I really enjoyed hearing you guys talking about what it's like to read reviews from the other side (obviously Barry's been there before, but it's your first time) and how that feels. I think the future is bright, guys. Thanks for the entertainment, as always. Stay safe!

Mykal

Trying to get A rank on level 29 is breaking me. I can't for the life of me get anywhere on it. The "V" placement of the bricks is brutal. Any tips would be helpful.

Mykal

Holy mother thank you heavy ball. I'm loving this game!

Marcus Brown

Great episode as always, Barry seems really cool! Really fun playing this as I hunt for the platinum. Almost there!

Timothy Bryant

Did anyone notice a trophy pop in the background while Colin and Barry was talking? Loving the game, about 60 percent on both versions

Anonymous

I didn't even think to look at the s-rank trophy so I got all 40, when I checked the trophies later and saw it was 10 I wanted to die. I streamed the whole thing and it took 12 hours... if only I had looked at the damn trophies!

FitzIsCoy

Very excited about the plans of porting this to the switch. (from one of those fans that dont have a ps4 or vita).

Jayce Tamulevich

I didn't know how stupid I was until I tried to control more than one paddle at a time. It's a great game though, way to go team.

Brandon Soto

Barry sounds like a cool dude. Bought the game day 1, looking forward to the next project. Hopefully you bring Dagan on for some ideas / art design.

Anonymous

This was very cool and insightful to get the behind the scenes look on it and the whole process. Thanks for sharing!

Dom posa

Finally got the plat!

NeO JD

Please Protect Chris sounds hilarious

Alex Bolton

Twin Breaker Physical on Switch would save my life!

Michael Maurice

Twin Breaker has been a ton of fun, I beat the final level this morning. Can’t wait to go back for more S Ranks and trophies!

Jordan Cunningham

I love Twin Breaker, its amazing. I wish there was Voice acting by you two amazing podcast hosts.

Anonymous

Cant wait to hear this episode. The gameplay is super tight, but also challenging. The story is surprisingly engaging and I feel driven to continue playing in order to see what happens next. Great work guys! Inspiring!

(this is a test comment bc my patreon account billing was acting up and just wanted to try commenting on a patreon exclusive post)

What's up Colin and Chris! I hope both of you are doing well in this post apocalyptic world we're living in. With the delay of the last of us part 2 do you believe it's fair for Naughty Dog/Sony to delay the game indefinitely due to logistics concerns or should they release a digital experience for those that really want to experience the game early even though it could cause some major spoilers for those that ordered the game physically. Thank you for all the hard work you guys do and stay safe out there. Yours truly Adam.

Richard Court

Can you get it on ps3? Could be one of the last ps3 releases..

LastStandMedia

Adam! Send inquiries for the actual show via the weekly threads that go live on Fridays. <3

LastStandMedia

I don't think we can, no. It would be THE last PS3 release; there hasn't been a new game on PS3 since FIFA 19, which was in the summer of 2018.

Jordan Cunningham

Hey Colin and chris how's it going? I love playing Twin Breaker, the gameplay and music is amazing. The only thing i wish it had was voice acting by you two amazing host. Maybe when you do a lets play you two could read your parts as if you were recording your lines for the story. Hearing the two characters with each of your voices would be awesome. Thank you for reading this if you get this far and keep tuesday great.
