Original Flash Game

[Mox]

So ive gotten 1001% on one file and im just short the donation machine achievments on another file for a second 1001%. My question is should I switch over the the original flash game now and try to complete that? Ive heard some good things and some bad things about it. I think Ive heard its a little harder. As someone thats played a lot of TBOIR do you think that the original will be satisfying?
Thanks for your advise

original game is very good, regardless of anything (not to mention glorious OST by Danny Baranowsky, I miss it so much in Rebirth)

IMO, it is definitely worth to play. Don't forget to get Wrath of The Lamb DLC.

For sure its worth it, in gameplay and price if i remember right. The new mode was difficult i thought, but a fair difficult as opposed to rebirth lost. I went from the original to rebirth though, im not sure how i would have felt about the original if i did it the other way, would still be worth it regardless

Fun game, you might long for some of the synergies that were missing in the first but:

Pros: different bosses, infinite health capacity :), I like the music more
Cons: less items/synergies, when you start breaking the game it will lag horrendously

Thanks for all the feedback, It sounds like everyone is saying that regardless of anything differnent or negative in the flash game that its worth it to buy it and give it a chance.

For me personally, after playing so much Rebirth/Afterbirth, i start seeing all the issues with vanilla Isaac and completely dropped it.

The thing, that will put you off the most will be the 30FPS cap of flash. It's really noticable, if you've played a crapload of Rebirth.

And of course it's about 100x more difficult; enemies can take 20 times as much hits as compared to Rebirth, features hardly any synergies between items and you sometimes stand in front of Mom's Knife or Brimstone and wonder, if it's a good idea to pick them up.
It's most of the time not worth it. Trust me.

So yeah, hard to tell wether you'd enjoy it or not. Do you enjoy stabbing yourself repeatedly in the kidney? Isaac flash is that in videogame-form.

It's a good game, but flawed due to flash's limitations. That's why we got a remake.

But it's like 2 bucks on sale with WotL, so there's no real reason to not give it a try.

BoI + WotL ... we have 88 hours.

BoI:R/A, we have ... 434 hours and counting.

BoI was good - I won't say it wasn't - but going back to it is like going back to a beta state of a game after you've played the full thing. It's just not the same, to me. I started with BoI, loved it, was hyped for Rebirth, and honestly I couldn't go back to the original. The framerate, the lack of synergies, the lack of room variety, I don't know.

It's cheap enough that you could definitely give it a try though; it's not gonna break the bank, and like I said, it was good - it's just lackluster compared to the remake, by far.

whats the word on afterbirth + , I havent checked the website in awhile. Is there a set date yet?
Im looking forward to that new content. I wonder if they will make another full Isaac game thats totally stand alone. I bet Edmund doesnt want to deal with crazy ♥♥♥♥ that comes with doing that.
