late on this one, but what a fun little game!! Only played a few times, but it reminds me of atic atac and the controller thing that is in the OP can't wait to try.

Barely understand how the game works apart from run around and shoot yet, but looking forward to putting stupid hours into this like I did with meatboy.

it's way too early to call, but I think i might be liking it more than meatboy as well. And meatboy is fucking awesome.

Unless there is a way to go diagonally, now. If there was a rock it was usually just before the gap so even after destroying the rock I would need to somehow cross the gap.

If you destroy a rock in the direction of the gap, it fills the gap.

[Kiriku]

Played for a total of 7 hours and FINALLY beat it (well, I beat mom at least!). Made two pacts with the devil, which made all the difference. Brimstone + devil wings + two batteries and that book that protects you from enemies for a short time. I just breezed through the whole thing after struggling so many times before.
This game is really addictive!

Oh man, you still have so much of the game to go... I'm still stuck trying to properly finish the game after nearly 40 hours :(

It has to be a tall rock though, AFAIK?

[wutwutwut]

There's just one kind of rock in the game. (Well, the womb has unbreakable rocks, but let's ignore them.)

[celebi23]

Looks like I'm finally going to get this game thanks to the Humble Voxatron debut

[Joe Molotov]

I'm afraid you're not yet ready to roll with teh BIG BOYS.

Oh YEAH? Let's see what you have to say now!



It only took me 16 hours, but I finally recorded 1 Mom Kill.

[ArjanN]

Oh YEAH? Let's see what you have to say now! It only took me 16 hours, but I finally recorded 1 Mom Kill.

It took me a long time for the first kill as well. It actually gets easier (even though the game actually becomes harder/longer) because you understand the game better, and you've unlocked better items.

Cain is probably the easiest character, although he might seem fragile at first, the rabbit's foot you start out with increases your luck which makes every random element more in your favour, so you get better drops, earn more stuff while gambling etc..

The advantage of having nothing but positive pills should not be overlooked, it's incredibly helpful.

[backlot]

I've gotta say that Isaac is pretty good after you unlock the D6. Being able to reroll all the pickups until you find something good is really helpful.

[Togglesworlh]

So, if I understand correctly, because I think I tried it, with just Brimstone, you can't spam it super fast. But when you ALSO get Chocolate Milk... you can. UU: Made it super easy. I almost made it through hell without getting hit even once. Except the the devil. Goddamn.

I've had this happen two times since, and Jesus it makes the game so ridiculously easy. I'm not 100% on this, but I think the spammable brimstone is just as powerful as a fully charged brimstone.

I finally got the "no hit" cheesemints 'cause I got chocolate milk and brimstone both on the first floor.

[Kinky John]

This is the posse that helped me complete Sheol. Smile for the camera!

[boutrosinit]

YAY!



I found you can basically POWER through the game if you just bleed out your cash and hearts through the slot and blood machines. Blood machines explode eventually and almost always give you a full health recharge with an extra heart container. Cash slot machines once you feed them too heavily with money will pop and give you a dollar or something else.

Hence my stats of awesome you see in the screen.

[Crazymoogle]

I dunno, generally when I break blood machines they give 1-2 hearts, which isn't nearly enough if you have an above-stock config. But it's definitely worth it for the blood bag reward if you can swing it.

Also, couldn't find this on the wikia page, but...The Sun tarot card (seems) to work like the bible vs. Mom!

What? Mind blown! :O

[Themacabre]

...this game runs worse then every other game I play.

Welcome to the world of Flash :/

[theinfinityissue]

Oh god. I just got the Spelunker Boy achieve and it didn't unlock. Fuuuuuuuck. Does anyone know if achieves are going to be up and running again, or if they're even fucked up for anyone else? pc/steam version if that helps.

and it was close too.

[slidewinder]

To unlock Cain, do I need to have 55 pennies at once, or just collect them in one playthrough? Gamefaqs claims the former, but the game says the latter.

[Enk]

Charge shot + laser eye = instant death on most enemies. Too bad I'll probably never get that combo again.

[Night_Trekker]

I love this game. I've probably put almost 20 hours into it already. I wish there were even more random, Roguelike elements, though.

To unlock Cain, do I need to have 55 pennies at once, or just collect them in one playthrough? Gamefaqs claims the former, but the game says the latter.

If I recall correctly, you do have to have them all collected at once. The game says you have to collect them all in one playthrough, which is technically correct, but it seems to be misleading because that makes it sound like you can collect a few, spend them, and then collect more to total 55 "collected" during one playthrough. But you have to amass 55 in your inventory at one time before Cain unlocks.

[Benedict]

Will there ever be support for joypads?
And not with joy2key?

[slidewinder]

Thanks, Night_Trekker.

[fresquito]

I'd like to have some info on the objects while I play. Some are self explanatory, but others are really obscure.

[Ionic]

You have to use them to know what they do. Such is the way of the roguelike.

[Togglesworlh]

No.

[boutrosinit]

That, or there's the wiki.

BTW, used Brimstone (giant blood puke beam like the GOATSE enemies). Great power, but the charge demand means you have to adopt a run-away strategy while charging the beam. Makes the game tougher in some respects, while bosses are a cakewalk.

Also, unlocked EVE finally. Very weak character, but she has two cool features in that if she gets hit, she spawns a bird that attacks enemies, and if she gets hit too much, she turns into a demon. Though I didn't have enough time to play with it, as I died with her, twice in a row, real easy.

:(

[Therion]

I just had an interesting bug happen. I kept thinking I was having a bunch of near misses, but when I finally stopped and tested it, it turned out that I wasn't taking any damage at all. Nothing that touched me did any damage and I could happily walk into enemies and push them around the room. This lasted throughout all of the depths, getting me the Dark Boy achievement. Then it sadly went away for the womb levels. Then it came back for Sheol!

I'm not sure what caused it. At first I was thinking it was some kind of leftover invincibility from the pony, but since I left that behind early in the game I don't know why it would come back in Sheol. It could also have been from Greed, since he was the first enemy I found in Sheol and his shots have a special effect that could have been bugged.

Anyway, it was cool to have once, but it makes for a pretty boring game when you can just stand there and shoot everything without having to dodge.

I had that + chocolate milk on my last playthrough. It was awesome.

[Mr_Zombie]

Wohoo! I killed mom :D.

I ended the game with Distant Admiration, Brimstone (!), Chocolate Milk (!!) and Lord of the Pit; having about 7 hearts and 3 soul hearts made the mother boss fight a piece of cake :D.

Basically, Brimstone + Chocolate Milk = instant win.

[boutrosinit]

Found a NASTY bug that got me killed on a good run :(

If you find the zombie head when you have Brimstone, DO NOT pick it up. You'll be stuck with it unable to throw or use anything. Then you have to kill yourself as you can't do anything other than run around holding a zombie head in the air. :(

[glaringradio]

Well this is annoying. Out of literally nowhere, after over 40 hours of no problems whatsoever, the game is now running like complete and utter shit... I'm going to go ahead and think its got something to do with a flash update that happened earlier on when I was trying to install DC Universe Online...

[Beelzeboss]

This game is kinda getting me annoyed with it's randomness.

I seem to be getting the same crappy upgrades every floor. If I get Mom's items and no damage boosts again my head might explode. I barely seem to get space bar items too which is becoming a bummer.

Sometimes it's the character you pick (I think). I had a few playthroughs with Eve and barely EVER got a decent upgrade or space item.

[Night_Trekker]

Yeah, I wonder about that too. I haven't unlocked Eve yet, but I seem to have the shittiest luck when I play as Judas. I get the lamest upgrades that aren't even worth picking up most of the time.

Or maybe it just looks that bad compared to playing as Cain.

[platypotamus]

When I played as Magdalene, I never seem to get anything that ups damage or range, but I get all the health extenders. I don't think it's coincidence.

[Flynn]

It could just be that random is random (especially with such a big pool to draw from).

Then, of course, the lucky foot reduces the amount of straight negative items (like hurtful pills) that drop.

[fresquito]

Yeah, when random means that you get space item after space item it's really annoying. It's like you've only got one item through the whole thing!

[Benedict]

I have gotten items that ups damage and range as Magdalene several times.

[charlemagne]

Just tried it out for the first time and there goes my evening...so damned addictive. Keep dying on the third or fourth stage.

[Mr_Zombie]

What's the point of enemies dropping keys and coins in the womb when there's no shop or the room with special item? I obtained 11 keys during two levels of the womb and had nowhere to use them :/.

[fresquito]

Is there any bug with the black cat or it's just the shittiest item ever? I had six hearts, it asked me two of them. I paid, I lost five hearts and had nine lives... WTF?!

[BlueLegs]

Coins can be used for the gambling items like slot machines and beggars. The keys can be used for the golden chests. Outside of that, both do not have much use at that stage of the game.

[Togglesworlh]

Yeahhhhh. And even if you get more hearts after picking up the cat, you lose them upon death.

The cat is one of the worst items in the game. X:

[fresquito]

Yeahhhhh. And even if you get more hearts after picking up the cat, you lose them upon death. The cat is one of the worst items in the game. X:

Wow, it makes no sense!

[wutwutwut]

If you have the lucky foot (and therefore have a higher chance of winning at the slot machine) then coins are really useful to farm bombs, pills, keys and soul hearts. I got a bunch of health up pills once in the womb 2.

[vitacola]

Does anyone know where the Humble Voxatron Debut version of the game (Win/NonSteam) stores the saves?

[platypotamus]

Wait, this is steamcloud? I call shenanigans, my work install has nothing unlocked!

[Togglesworlh]

I thought it was, but it didn't work for me, either.
