I really liked this. The idea was honestly hilarious. The controls were a little weird, but I just had to get used to using my right hand for the weapon direction.

it's okay if you didn't have time for a cool ending because the game was so cool! A very fun binding of isacc inspired roguelike(?) Well it's just one long coridor but still very fun nontheless! The menu was super well made and the style you went for in this game was very charming. Hopefully you can expand this to a full game with branching rooms and bosses!

I've never expanded my game jam games but after this one I'm thinking about it. I feel I can make a better game than this so I'm not sure if I would turn this into a full game. But maybe my next game jam. Yes its heavily inspired by The binding of Isaac. Thank you very much for the review I appreciate it.

Fun game!! For a two-day jam this is surprisingly solid and well-balanced. It actually took a couple tries for me to even get past the first few levels but once you get the hang of it it gets pretty satisfying! The health/energy/fire bar was also going down at just the right speed to keep you on edge. Good job! image.png

I'm glad that someone who played my game thinks it is well balanced, I was worried about that. I'm EXTATIC that it took a couple tries to beat it because that was my aim for the game (Unintended pun), in the same way The binding of Isaac is really difficult in like the first 200 hours (for me, I sucked then) I wanted to compress that down into a game that takes a couple try's to get the hang of.  Thank you very much for finishing and playing!

What a nice game!
Can you rate my game ?

Thanks, i did so. Your game was really good incorporating the theme and prerequisite very well, I was a noob but I carried on and beat the game!

Huge Isaac fan so this was a very fun play! It used the theme and prerequisite very well, in many ways it feels like it could be a real Isaac challenge! The items and synergies are really cool, and I love that there are items I really *don't* want to pick up (Wavy bullets my enemy). 
Love the concept of a pyromancer snowman melting, and it feels very satisfying to miss a few shots and then pull the run back from the brink by speeding through rooms.

Such a cool project, well done!

Thank you so much, I really wanted to make a tiny planet style item that was *bad* so it was interesting but not good. and had potential to be good in specific builds

Pretty cool game! Just wish you had a way to regenerate your health in any way without shooting because it felt like that If you missed your shot your run is basically dead

That is good feedback because having snow piles was in the original "blueprint" but it didn't make the cut, so seeing someone who would wants this tells me for the next time I make a game really think about each thing I do and don't add.

This is so good haha! I loved the end screen, that was incredibly relatable! Gameplay was solid, the designs were fun, the concept of dying by the fires was really good, excellent work!

Thanks love to see someone notice the small things I added in the pages! Thank you very much.

Love the Saac. Its my favorite game and I've always wanted to make an Isaac like game so much.
