yep! everyone get nuclear throne. it's tougher than isaac but it feels 'meatier' in a way and the devs have been actively developing it for forever, putting out updates near every week or two. also it involves 100% less poop.

I can objectively that it's harder because I'm not getting past the 4th level, but for some reason it feels like I'm the greatest player that ever lived at it. Jukes are too good

I'm waiting patiently for Enter the Gungeon, which just says "2016 release" on its steam page. It's halfway between Isaac and Nuclear Throne and looks like a lot of fun.

Does Nuclear Throne have an ending yet? I get the appeal of seeing how far you can go each time, but the lack of a concrete end (besides your death obviously) has kept me away from it.

The ending was always to beat the throne. The game just loops afterwards and you can keep playing, only the game is harder.

Just had this seed VP61 GG3G. Start as Isaac with D6 and clear the first floor. The curse room on floor 2 will have a Bobs brain in a stone chest and a red chest Guppy item, reroll them to 2 more Guppy items.

I don't even remember the rest of the seed, Guppy on floor 2 was crazy.

Also, Dungeon Lords is already out and has more variety IMO than nuclear throne--it recaptures a little of the Isaac style discovery. Whereas NT is very focused on combat that feels good and is hard.

I like NT and it made me try BoI which I'm still new at. I'm glad there's already more games lined up.

So I've been trying to finish up the list of challenges before activating everything is terrible with my next Mom's Heart kill.

All I've got left is Head Trauma and Solar System. :suicide:

How are you supposed to kill Mom's Heart with this lovely fly game.

:siren: new blog update :siren:

Talks about the new game mode slightly and how shops have a big part of it, as well as a new re-stock item that refreshes the shop pool.
They also have a release date set and will reveal it soon.

The new mode seems like you don't get items each floor, but have an increased money drop rate and have to buy your items. At least that's what it looks like to me. :shrug:

I'm guessing it's some kind of Greed mode since they keep making references to Greed. Unless they are deliberately misleading people.

What's more interesting imo are the new items in the shop. The big 15 cent items are a bomb upgrade that looks like Wrath's head and a big pill. There's also a new 5 cent item. It looks like a little 6-sided die?

The big pill looks like a suppository. In a game full of poop jokes I could believe it. What it does, on the other hand, I don't have the first idea.

There's still an item room on the map, so it would have to change that too rather than just removing it

Oh, I didn't notice that. drat, thought I had something good.
....Maybe it makes them rooms filled with money, or something? All the Greed hidden links makes that seem plausible, even if it's still grasping at straws that may or may not be there.

It's got more cool features than notmal mode, but you have to pay $0.99 every time you play.

Most of the time, i'd expect 2-5$, but 1 in every 10 or 20 purchases might be 5-15$, depending on luck-ups.

Some people say it's supposedly the Placebo pill that was suggested in the item idea thread on the reddit, basically a blank card version for pills.
