Ok, I see. Its like spelunky.
Well, I will try it again later. Am not the biggest fan of this kind of mechanics though.
Is anyone on PC getting weird random frame drops? Even in the menu, it'll sit at 60 and then randomly drop to 56 or even 49.
It's causing some really annoying stuttering in game.
i7-4930K at 4.6GHz
2xGTX 980s (Tested SLI on and off)
32GB RAM
EDIT:
Ok I think I fixed it? Disabled a shit ton of misc services (SVN server stuff, apache, and Oculus Rift service). Looks to be running good now. Will report back if it changes.

Well you also unlock abilities when you play. So it's not completely like Spelunky.
32GB RAM??
That's true, there's characters and items that unlock by completing certain goals.
Yea, I load some games in RAM for shits sometimes. Also for running server stuff on.

Anyone having issues with the PS4 version? I just went into a room and the game froze for a second before turning into a loading screen that hasn't gone away. I have to restart the game.

I don't remember the actual percentages, but the odds are significantly increased by not taking damage on a level. If you take spirit (blue) heart damage, that doesn't count. Only red heart damage counts.
This is assuming the mechanics are the same in Rebirth as the original.
To me it's the most addictive aspect of this game. You never know when you might stumble across a really powerful ability that will potentially make later tries much easier.

Uh...what the...what just...
New room type spoilers
Fucking weird.
Also, familiars are about 10x better in this. No collision or maximum.

Used two keys to unlock a room with a giant picture of a die on it's 4 face and shit just got trippy. I think the room automatically rerolls...something?

On my third run I found a bug where I beat Larry Jr. and got Speed Ball, and when I picked it up I moved involuntarily to the boss room door and got stuck in a walking animation. Nothing responded so I had to reset the PC.
Random occurrence it seems. New to rebirth.
Man I keep getting stuck with shit items.
Also the donation box.. not sure the deal with it. Seems like you donate money and it stores it between runs and you can bomb to get it back? I have no idea.
I know it said I leveled my shop with it..
The 1 rerolled items you already and the 3 rerolled pick up items on the floor. Saw that on Cobaltstreaks stream. Don't know if that's the case like every time or random as well.
Beat the womb on first try, i'm pretty impressed by the amount of new mobs in that map.
Also, the new womb final boss is so much better, and the music is pretty good aswell.
New room spoiler:
Honestly i'm not a fan of the visual, i generally don't mind pixel art at all but it just looks strange, the black outline are so fucking big imo, and with the flash filter it's even worse. Oh well i will just put up with it.
I think i'll give it a spin on Vita for now, just to see if it's really an issue with my comp that it feels so slow or it's just in my head. Also comfy bed.

New room spoiler:
After mom, before going to the womb i had one of the wall with a giant hole in it, i entered a gigantic room with several item, picked up one, won't describe it and after that i pretty much had to kill around 14-16+ bosses in a row, two at the same time.

I just beat the game on my first try. I don't think that's supposed to happen.
You didn't beat the game.
Also oribiting + ringworm = Fun... but gets you killed.

Played for a hour and no issues.
I got that and it rerolled the floor and started me at the beginning of the floor.
Feels weird to play with buttons/sticks, but, I am digging the vita version a lot so far. Had a pretty godly first run item wise which was funny. Didn't realize there would be soooo many changes though, found quite a few more new enemy types than I realized there would be and the different shape/sized rooms is crazy. Pretty awesome.
It re rolls all items on the floor

Been playing nonstop and I have to say this is definitely living up to the hype for me.
played one run before I go out to dinner in a minute... the map frankly sucks, it's hard to see and bringing up the larger map is almost worse somehow.
that and the resolution scaling in fullscreen seems weird, I thought this was a bullet point on the back of the box
plays really smooth tho, dat 60fps
