I'll give you a definite maybe.
I'm of two minds on the new presentation. On the one hand I love some of the new effects they've included (emissive colors, animated walls, etc.) On the other something about pixelated graphics moving at sub-pixel amounts always throws me off.

Regardless, game seems fun, and the new content/items show a lot of promise even after one run. I'm looking forward to playing more!

I did the same thing. You unlocked the purist challenge, not beat it.

e: Beat Mom on my first run ever! It took me way too long to even get to Mom in the original.

At first I was afraid it was maybe too dumbed down because I wasn't getting hit at all, but I finally started loving up like old times.

I'm mixed on the music, it's okay but it is not nearly as melodic which is fine except the old tunes were pretty great and I'm amazed they didn't just remix them.

The graphics are mostly fine but some stuff is so obvious that they took images from the old game and pixel-filtered it that it comes off as garish and hard to read. The text/menu stuff mostly. Oh well whatever, I started to enjoy it so I'm happy I think. It feels smooth like buttah without that Flash jank feeling.

Man, one of the new buddies follows you around and lays down a sticky trail that slows everything, while also apparently spitting out blue spiders at random(?) intervals which track and do damage. It's pretty awesome.

Killed on my first run. Picked up a lot of trinkets with no discernible effects. A new follower called Headless Baby. Some tear effect items, one of which had an appr. 50% chance of teleporting me to a random room within the level when hit. Of course it would reset the room in that case, including boss fights. drat you.

Beat Mom on the first go; I ended with flaming tears that exploded upon hitting enemies and occasionally poisoned them and occasionally caused fear while also firing twice as fast after I got hit in a room with one eye doing twice as much damage as the other. Game's pretty loving awesome so far, as remakes go.

I just went into a room and a big hand picked me up and teleported me to a different room.

Also I bombed open a room with a bed in it that refilled all my hearts.

Anyone else unlocked Azazel yet? I got a bunch of devil room offers on my second run. He's got no heart containers, flight, and a VERY short range brimstone. Instead of heart containers he has black hears.

Sin hearts explode and do damage to the entire room when they are expended. At least I think those are sin hearts. The black ones.

I got an item called (I think) the charger, with the description "charge your soul". It had no item charge, apparently did nothing when I hit space, and couldn't be charged by the batteries that are dropped. I have no idea what this thing was supposed to do. I replaced it with a spider butt eventually and then forgot to use it during the mom fight.

Well, it seems like a bunch of other people have issues with some types of keyboard being incapacitated by the game, making the game 100% unplayable, guess I'll have to use my gamepad. Feel sorry for all the people who don't have one.

Hope there's a bugfix soon, and also mouse support.

Yeah, I can confirm this the black hearts hurt all enemies when they take their last hit. Just got a mom kill. If you get enough fly items you get an achievement called Lord of the Flies and it gives you flight. It's either 4 flies total or three special flies. I'm not sure which. Also, the revenge fly item owns. If you take damage the fly continuously attacks all of the enemies in the room until they're all dead.

Some of the new pill effects I found were one called Lemon Party which is like a full room Lemon Mishap, and one called "I'm a wizard" or something that made me shoot two diagonal shots instead of my regular straight ahead shots for a few rooms.

Just completed my first run. This is awesome!

Also, got the bible for an easy first mom kill.

New stuff I have found so far:

* Black hearts. Not sure what they do.
* Hidden trap door under rocks which takes you to a devil like room with 5 items for a heart each, then allows you to skip the boss!
* Brimstone baby - Follower with the brimstone laser shot. Basically got me through the entire run
* Headless baby - Leaves damaging blood trail

Oh that's what the trap door did. I saw one on the first level but didn't take it because I assumed it was just a skip.

I'm assuming it's your speed record. I let it catch up to me on one floor and it doesn't seem to actually affect the game but maybe I didn't wait long enough.

You can rebind the keys in the options, and reset back to default, so you can set shift for bombs pretty easily.

Cannot find mouse support for the life of me, which means I'm basically not going to be able to play until it's there.

Ok, I didn't know about this and it's a major deal-breaker.

There's a cool as hell bug if you're using certain logitech keyboards that makes your keyboard stop responding a few mins after having the game launched. Bunch of people in the community hub are also having this problem, loving great.

Yeah, it's awesome. My Logitech G110 just ceases to function at all after loading the game. Can't alt-f4 or anything. Starting the game windowed and closing it when it bugs doesn't unfuck the keyboard either. I have to restart the loving PC.




So what I'm saying is I would be annoyed with the control-scheme gently caress up if I could play the game at all.
