I have a question! In the original isaac, when you use a trapdoor to the sheol in a CHALLENGE, you can't win it, and you must restart it! What about rebirth? I'm not sure if i can't beat mom's heart with my build, and i'm in front of a trap door so i'm wondering...

The only use I can think of for Cursed Eye would be with Holy Mantle on no damage runs but I'm not sure cursed eye would actually activate on that one free shot and even if it did, the activation is so unreliable and unpredictable that it would render the combo moot.
That's the one item I can't really see a silver lining to.

Isn't it just an item that's meant to fuck people over? That's at least how I feel everytime I mistake it for Mom's Pearl and accidentally takes it.

Yeah, I basically avoid cursed eye every time now.

Well, moms pearl is a trinket so it'll be on floor, where Cursed eye is a pedestal item. It's my least favourite in the game by a long margin though
Hit an intensely string of luck. So I'm in the Chest with only 1 part of the Key and I figure with so many item drops my best bet is to keep rerolling them for Dad's Key, but I didn't have enough keys to unlock the 4 chests in the starting room. Cleared up a couple of rooms and got Lard. Rerolled that and got a Card Generator. Picked that up and used it and got a Joker card. Used the Joker card to teleport into an Angel Room. Proceeded to whoop the angel and finish my Key.
Game, you can be alright.

Just unlocked Golden God! Feels good. I'll try to keep going to kill everyone with everyone but this feels like the first real ending for me I guess.

Yeah, probably. What annoys me with it is that it's really designed that way, while I could actually see the use scenarios of some other items I dislike.
Thanks!

One of my Chest runs, can't remember which character it was, I had faily subpar damage, at least for the Chest, to the point where I just needed to pick up the Cursed Eye as a source of damage. The cursed eye is actually quite decent for everything but bosses since bosses are where you'll be stuck in 1 room for prolonged periods of time and will most likely get hit eventually, it's why getting teleported out is the worst, which is funny since I actually lucked out, getting hit in like the first room and it teleported me just outside the boss room so I saved a lot of hassle. Cursed Eye teleports you only if you are charging it and I ended up getting teleported out of the

Oh man. I am so glad I decided to try again after my win against
. I decided to do
this time and by the end of the game I had x11? lives because I was
, turned into
and picked up the Dead Cat this time because I had Guppy's Paw and was able to get all the way to
and kick his ass after 5 deaths. (One death was early in the last level to some stupid enemy) I was so OP. I had blue flies out the wazoo. My speed was so high I was floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. I had the white creep dripping sack again, which I love to death. It was dropping spiders right and left. My tears were huge. I had a blood red laser vomiting devil baby following me around. And early on I picked up the Lord of the Pit and turned into a flying war machine before I even got the third Guppy item. I was trading hearts right and left. When that Devil door appeared after the fight with
(If you could call it a fight. It was over before I even realized it.) and I realized where I was about to go, I had to decide whether to take my victory and open the chest or continue. I am so glad I continued. I mean why waste 11 lives? In the end I only used 6 of them. All my deaths against him were to the stupid worm things that came out when he stomped down. Without them I would have killed him no problem on the second try. (My first I died to his blood laser.) The best part is every time I died to him and went back in, there were hearts all over the place from my previous death. So I could just pick up whatever Soul Hearts were lying around and be better off.
So that's 2 wins

Once again, another maybe spoilery but probably not screenshot of my victory.
I'm getting better at this game faster than I did Spelunky, which took me hundreds of tries to get to Olmec and even more for Yama.
Edit: By the way, the soundtrack is really growing on me. It fits this version much more than the original would. The track for Sheol is wondrous. I got to hear it for the first time just now. So good and creepy.

Not really, they're different names for the same character. The original used to call him XXX, too.

Yep, not touching that thing again. Had I known about the teleporting function I would not have picked it up in the first place.
I replayed the seed without the cursed eye and beat
satan
Was trying again for the last while to get the Meat boy / Bandage girl achievements, it's just ludicrous.
Had one amazing run, Famine on the first floor decided to roll with it, proptosis, shielded tears, stigmata, Pestilence in the caves, then a book of revelations in the depths treasure room, this was it I could feel it. Womb 1 boss? just double trouble loki!
It's cool though, I have only 7 items to get for platinum god, 4 of them come from god rooms, so I doubled the run up for that, 2 god rooms....both with 2 eternal hearts and nothing else. Can't catch a break at all.
Been trying ever since, nary a thing to show for it other than finally getting the D100 and The Body to strike off the list.

That might be a good choice indeed. I did beat the game today with Magdalene, it wasnt too hard actually, but definitelly harder than using Azazel, in my opinion.

I got tired of my losing streak so I picked Azazel and beat boss rush as well as chest for the first time. Azazel is so goddamn overpowered.

I unlocked the Necronomicon hilariously late because I never even bother using the stupid Death cards. I also still have to unlock the 100 shell game attempts item. Funny what random stuff you miss that's supposed to happen in "normal play"
I almost did this with Lazarus because apparently the negative/polaroid don't always show up in the item list on pause (why can't it scroll or something at least?!). I grabbed the right one at Mom, but forgot which it was when I got to the point where you chose. Luckily I made the right choice on accident.
Az is pretty OP to start with, but by the end with pretty much any other character you shouldn't miss anything but his flying. At this point I only like him for the flying and easily mopping up the first few floors. Unless I'm horrifically unlucky I can almost always make it to the heart, but damn some of the Cellar bosses are annoying with low damage/speed characters. Maggie. Urg.
Bah, forgot what path I needed with eve and did dark room twice

Ok guys, I'm having a weird "bug" and can't seem to find anything on the interwebs about it...
When playing with the left stick on my 360 pad, the character moves normally except in one direction wtf ?! Like, it forces me to use the D-PAD (which everyone knows is cancer) to have normal movements on all directions, otherwise Isaac will walk slower when pushing to the bottom right direction, and only in that direction.
My pad is only a few months old, never took a hit or gave me any problem in any other game. Anybody else ?

Deadzone issue maybe? Check it out in Game Controllers in control panel? I'm not that much help though, not playing the PC version

Nah, like I said all other games work perfectly normal and as expected. Really have no idea what gives... Really seems to me that it's a bug with the game, but if so other peeps would have it too. I was gonna buy an X1 pad anyway tomorrow, so I'll see how it goes with that.
On the game : this is absolutely addicting. I've been playing this game only since launch, I think I need help
I bought Isaac vanilla when it came out but I really didn't dig the whole flash window awkward performance so never really got into it. But now, oh boy this is amazing. I only killed mom for the first time earlier today though; it took me like 50 runs to realize I directly set the game on hard by accident since the beginning and didn't understand why I had such bad luck and really hard runs lol. I know this game is heavily based on "luck" and randomization, but that was brutal.MichaelFassbender

More Champions which means more pickup spawns. But it also means more curses I think and less heart drops from bosses which is universally worse, but not insurmountable.
Also, "challenge up" items also mean more champions, which really is a good thing due to pickups.
Also it's impossible NOT to get, so there's really nothing to be worried about. It's also not as bad as I initially feared. The game's difficulty ramp up is amazingly good considering the random nature.
Everything is Terrible does :
-Add Curses
-Reduce the number of hearts dropped after a boss
-More champions versions of enemies spawn
-More trap rooms with spikes if I remember correctly
It's not that bad. Add more challenge since you seem to be able to beat the game easily enough.

I had the two card slot item, so I had another to help me. Just beat Glass Cannon which was piss easy compared to other challenges. I could have take The Lamb 5 times over with the build I had. So I am done with all the challenges, going to take a break with the game and play other things.

Finally beat the heart, snapping my -47 streak. Still haven't had an OP run yet, but Mom's Wig and multiple Balls of Steel did the trick.
Are the challenges still using randomized levels, I've never done one twice. I ask because I was doing the third one (where you start out with orbiting tears), and there was a room where wall enemies were on the other side of a large chasm, too far for the orbiting tears to hit. I had no way to win the room, and had to quit it. Was it just really bad luck?

They're random seeds like any playthrough, but with restrictions (generally just preventing item room)
I guess I'll stop playing now.
Congrats!. I'm so close myself, had such a lackluster evening of getting the last few items / forming meatboy & bandage girl. Managed to get another Book of Revelations on floor 1, and the womb boss was Conquest again, it has to be broken, Conquest is supposed to be rare.
My last run of the evening though I managed to knock out 3 of the 7 items I had remaining though, and 1 earlier making a total of 4 down and 3 left to go,
Steven, Super Bandage and Godhead
Also I ruined what was probably a great farming run earlier where I had a ton of health, lots of heart drops and the Sharp Plug, hoping to reroll a ton of Angel Deals but I picked up the 9 Volt in the store and wasn't aware that it breaks the Sharp Plug. Irked me a bit, wasn't fully familiar with the Sharp Plug since I rarely used it. It's a warning to anyone else wanting to try it, the 9volt adds a free bar of charge of any spacebar item, sharp plug only works when the item has no charge in it.
I really fucking hate this game sometimes. I get to the Dark Room for the first time ever, and have the full key so I can unlock the
fight(again, haven't seen that, nor the boss of the Dark Room ever before). Have 6 heart containers, 4 soul hearts, and 2 dark hearts as Azazel. Have Tammy's Head, and the Wafer so I'm taking half damage. Then for good measure, have a Full Health pill! What could go wrong? How about having it be a DARK FLOOR, CAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT?!

Farming for donation pennies for the last two items. At 800 so far, using Cain for this.
Yeah, bad luck. Some rooms are impossible with some tears. Hope they fix it.

Wait I just read this all the way. If you find an impossible room, chill out. A failsafe will eventually open the doors if you can't kill everything.
Really? I could not reach enemies at all and had to break a black heart to kill them.

It happened to me in one of the No Tears ones, there was a mulligan past a gap and skulls floating around. After a couple of minutes the skulls died and the doors opened and the room acted as cleared.
