[QUOTE]When Isaac’s mother starts hearing the voice of God demanding a sacrifice be made to prove her faith, Isaac escapes into the basement facing droves of deranged enemies, lost brothers and sisters, his fears, and eventually his mother.[/QUOTE] I'm hooked already.

Would have been a sure buy for me, if it had multiplayer.

Literally as I was making the post it became purchasable. Time to go play!

£3.59 for game and £4.48 with Soundtrack in the UK.

The Binding Of Isacc...now there's a ominous name.

After playing for ~30 minutes I gotta say this is one fun game. It's unique and I cannot wait to play more, sadly I have to run to the dump with my father. Buy it, it's a lot of fun if you like roguelikes and the style/art behind Super Meat Boy.

I really like it so far - died twice already. Found two secrets too!

Looks pretty dark and sinister, so much stuff and so much of it to do and unlock. IiiiisAAAAAAAAAC! (that phrase spoken by his mom just chills me to my core)

I've been playing it for awhile and it's pretty good but what's up with the music not playing during boss battles? [editline]28th September 2011[/editline] Also where do you find the soundtrack?

Bought it already, with soundtrack :v:

I will give it a try :)

Game looks fun, but isn't a Roguelike Shoot'em Up in Zelda Dungeons just... Smash TV?

Dammit, I almost killed mom. Both of us had very little health, and I got hit first. But... next time I'll do it! :v:

what if this was the backstory of Dr Fetus?

So where can I access the soundtrack?

Tools I think.

Can't see it in there

Perhaps in your receipt in your email?

I was just told Steam/Steamapps/Common/The binding of Isaac/The Binding of Isaac Soundtrack

Oh yeah. I forgot they do it like that. It was the same way for Dawn of War II and Darksiders.

back from the dump, time for more Isaac!

Going to pick this up tomorrow most likely. Got work tonight. Been anticipating this game though. SMB was great and I love roguelikes.

Not sure if I like that you fire with the arrow keys, is there an option for using the mouse instead?

[QUOTE=The_Marine;32529046]Not sure if I like that you fire with the arrow keys, is there an option for using the mouse instead?[/QUOTE] I was thinking the same. I just had my best playthrough yet, reached the 4th or 5th floor and had a ton of items. When I found the [sp]arcade[/sp] I beat all the things on my first try. Game is great, really is.

This game is just great great fun, the only bad part is dying - the disappointment of ending a good run. On my first ever run I got to the 4th floor I think, only to die to a secret boss almost immediately as I had half a health at the time. On the second run I died on the first floor to the boss. Loving it so far. [editline]29th September 2011[/editline] Oh yeah I was going to say, I came across a lot of items that looked unattainable - is this the case? For example they were inside some rocks, or there were holes in the floor I couldn't get across.

not bad but overhyped five dollars is arguably a little much from something that could be an ios or flash game but it's still pretty cheap i don't like that it's only possible to shoot in four directions though
