Picture this: two miniature humans-turned-dolls stumble through a child's bedroom, desperately trying to salvage their crumbling marriage while smashing innocent piggy banks to bits. Such is the absurd reality of Hazelight Studios' co-op masterpiece It Takes Two, where relationship counseling involves projectile acorns and explosive anger management. Released back in 2021 through EA's Originals program (that brilliant initiative where indie devs get EA's wallet without the corporate overlord vibe), this game remains wildly popular in 2025 precisely because it transforms domestic dysfunction into platforming paradise. Players control May and Cody - the world's most passive-aggressive couple - shrunk into toys by their daughter's magical tears. While navigating Rose's Room might seem like couples therapy, trophy hunters know the real prize involves porcelain destruction. 😂

The Great Piggy Bank Heist

Among the game's achievements lies "Break The Bank" - a trophy so deceptively simple that players often miss it while bickering over whose fault it was that they fell off the rainbow slide. To trigger this porcelain pandemonium, both players must:

  1. Navigate to the Hopscotch Zone under Rose's bed (after that awkward cutscene where May blames Cody for the dust bunnies). This obstacle course features:

  2. Glow-in-the-dark stars 🌟

  3. Suspiciously judgmental teddy bears 🧸

  4. Enough childhood nostalgia to make therapists rich

  1. Survive the Toy Maze of Mild Annoyance 🌀

  2. Swing across crayon chasms

  3. Avoid LEGO landmines (we've all been there)

  4. Locate the sparkly pink piggy bank lounging near a pop-up book titled Why Mommy and Daddy Yell

The Ceramic Betrayal

Here's where things get delightfully petty:

Step Action Emotional Equivalent
1 Collect ALL scattered coins Couple's therapy homework
2 Stuff piggy until it flips over Financial disagreements
3 Body-slam the helpless bank That time she threw his golf clubs
4 Hear satisfying CRACK Marriage counseling breakthrough

But here's the kicker - only the player delivering the final jump gets credit! Meaning your co-op partner must:

  • Replay the entire section

  • Pretend they're not resentful

  • Smash another perfectly innocent piggy 🐷💥

Why This Trophy Sums Up Modern Gaming

It's hilariously ironic that a game about cooperation forces individual achievement. The trophy's design feels like Josef Fares' commentary on relationship dynamics - sometimes you gotta do things separately before coming back together. Pro tip: While waiting for your partner to redo the maze, check the baseball minigame nearby. Nothing says "healthy relationship" like competitive sports!

As players shatter that ceramic swine in 2025, they're participating in gaming's most therapeutic destruction since Mario crushed Goombas. The trophy isn't just about completion - it's about embracing the beautiful messiness of cooperation. After all, if you can survive replaying a level twice without arguing, maybe your real-life relationship stands a chance? But here's the real head-scratcher: In an era where games constantly evolve, why does smashing virtual piggy banks remain so cathartically satisfying decades after our childhood piggy banks met similar fates? 🤔
