    @nacho – Thanks for talking about Unify! It’s my first game and I’m a one-person studio so marketing has been an adventure!

    I’m so glad you guys are enjoying it!

    Nice Podcast. Paul did a great job and had some excellent info.

    Favorite bit was the end part you slipped in there – should be a regular feature! :D

    Best podcast yet. Easily better than the terrible Pocket Gamer podcasts and even better than the Slide To Play podcasts. Paul was great, it was good to hear about Astro Ranch and the fantastic sounding CJS 2. Hearing the stuff about self publish vs publisher was very useful, I’ve been interested in how that works. Overall, great podcast. I bought Unify and Moonlights after hearing you guys talk about them, and I’m impressed with Unify.

    I was glad I stuck around for the last minute kilt talk after the end music. lol

    Matt,
    Meteor Blitz is a clone of Super Stardust on the Playstation Network. FYI

  • Dan

    @kevin, I heard that mentioned by slide to play as well. I’m thinking about picking it up based on Matt’s comments.

  • Kevin

    I bought it today and it’s very good. I would play Super Stardust on the PSP. Both good experiences.

  • Rito9

    Just a quick correction. The Zune HD does actually have multi-touch and an accelerometer.

  • legend.inc

    it still wont be any competition for apple.
