That would be awesome.
Binding of Isaac has sold 2 million copies
- Thread starter Grief.exe
- Start date
That would be awesome.
Been done before with other games on Steam, would not be difficult to implement.
Listening to the video, they can't even go back to edit the game. It has gotten so large that they can't even run the FLA file to compile it anymore.

Guys, in that cutscene between dungeons, when Isaac is having a bad memory. Why does it look like the to people next to Isaac are pooping on him? What are they actually doing?

There's your problem.
Pooping and/or farting.
Yes, it's that kind of game.

168 hours.
he made a lot of money, on top of all the money he already made from SMB
Edmund Mcmillen (and tommy for that matter) is one of the best examples out there of indie success as far as I know (excluding notch and all that). Dude has a huge house filled with toys and stuff that basically looks like what i'd do if you gave me a million bucks now

Yes I want to have sex with him money.
I just ripped this and converted it from flv to mp3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to upload this?

I would gladly buy Rebirth for the 3DS, Nintendo was stupid for rejecting the original.
There is a Nintendo Direct tomorrow morning, maybe they will announce it
Would have heard about that on the video tonight if it were true.
Binding of Isaac would play perfectly on a handheld though.
Considering only two people made this game, they probably have enough to retire. They would have 'made decent bank' at less than 20,000 sold.
Lightweight. My fiancee and I have collectively clocked over 200 hours.
I ended up listening to it on youtube, but mediafire should be cool if you still wanna upload it

350+ hours here. I beat the final boss of Wrath of the Lamb twice. Can't get enough of this game.

Nintendo better get over their fears of offending Christians, that's a lot of potential sales they're missing out on. That said, Nicalis would be doing it, so we'd never see it in Europe anyway.

Eh, co-op for this game should be a couch experience anyway. Many laughs are probably to be had considering the gameplay and art is sometimes just so ridiculous and hilarious.

Cool! The original is one of my most played games on steam. Would prefer Rebirth on a handheld, but pc is fine to begin with!

Yeah I didn't get it either. Put in a few hours and just left it with a feeling of it being an overhyped flash game.

It's great because it's superficially simple but is actually a very complex and intrinsic game. The more you play it, the better it gets. There's just so much content and the stacked endings increase the replay value by an incredible amount. It's also just mindless fun and the art is hilariously grotesque.
Oh, and the soundtrack is awesome.

My all-time favourite game.

It would be nice if the title of the thread included that there is a non-flash rewrite coming out.
I had to delete it at some point to get stuff done, it's just so great. The DLC made it a lot better, too. Runs are getting a little long since then, though. I liked it better when they were closer to 30 minutes.
Not that surprised about the numbers. I always check the "5€ or under" category on steam and it's always way up there in the charts, outselling many new small titles.

Honestly, it deserves to continue selling even more. Hopefully the remake will not only entice new customers but also a sizable chunk of the people who bought the original as well.
It's one of the best indie games ever released, IMO. It's just so good, and the replayability is through the roof.
Can't say I'm too thrilled with the 16-bit pixel graphics of the remake, though. I kind of link the "cleaner" look of the Flash original, and I think that the remake's aesthetic doesn't quite match up with the feel of the game. I'll still pick it up Day 1, though.

Never played this game, but it's no surprise it sold so well. I had people at my college who barely played games talking about "binding of issac' all last summer.
Could not agree more. I've bought it through Steam, via a Humble Bundle and will 100% rebuy for my Vita.
Love this game.
Would also love to see SMB on Vita.

Hmm may be I should really go back and play it a bit longer. I kind of give after finding out there are no continues.
A lot of people don't like the "no continue, no save" rule. They feel like they wasted their time if they can't save their progress. The point is: you did progress a little. You have more experience, you learned some boss pattern, you know the effect of some new item or just practiced a bit. Each time you play you'll go a little further or you'll discover something new. There's no "XP" bar, but the experience you get in the game matters a lot. I remember a guy streaming the game, he was so good that at a certain point he wiped his save clean and started doing runs from scratch, and he completed the game dozens of time without dying once. Skill > luck.

I knew this game sold well, but 2 Million!? That is damn impressive.
Everything about this sounds awesome.

A port away from flash is completely worth the price of a double-dip. If it goes to 3ds I'll probably triple-dip when I eventually get one.

This game with more content, co-op and no Flash is just... christ, it's going to be my new favourite game ever by default.
No idea how the co-op is going to work.

Sounds good to me. With 45 hours clocked on steam and still haven't beat Sheol. So I still need to get that god run to win someday it will happen!
