Nov. 2024

A relatively short, well-contained puzzle roguelike that feels good to improve at. Every character's got a unique playstyle (unlike the game its based on, lol) and they all feel well balanced. Aesthetics wise, it's nice. Don't know what it is about Edmund's "flash" artstyle but it's very appealing to me, especially when paired with the cardboard arts-and-crafts theme. The music's good as well, though I wish there was some variety. It's a love letter to Isaac fans, one I wish I hadn't put off playing for so long. It really isn't as bad as a lot of people made it out to be, I thought it was pretty good. (I recommend installing the Windfall mod, it improves the ui and fixes a lot of bugs.)

Fun little binding of isaac sidegame. Rguelike dungeon crawler with match 4 mechanics and a fair amount of strategic variety. Its style and fun factor have kept me coming back to it from time to time for quite a while. Solid game for sure.

July 2024

Disclaimer : the game was dev in really poor conditions. Covid kicked in during the process and the main dev became depressed. This post is not mean to trash talk the team behind the game. Making a game is hard. TL;DR : For TBoI fans only. Game is buggy as hell, crashes everywhere and you need to install a mod in order ot unlock achievements because the game sometimes just won't (+ cloud saving does not work). Overall I enjoyed playing the game and mastering its mechanics but it felt like a burden to get all achievements. The pros : - Is actually part of the TBoI lore - Several characters with a unique gameplay/strategy - Many bosses and ennemies - The candy crush gameplay is actually interesting and asks for real reflexion - Graphics and sound design are really cool The cons : - Game is too buggy, even after many updates. - I get crashes for no reason (most of the time it feels like clicking "too fast"for the game to follow and it just give up on live. - Achievement unlocks can be buggy, you need a mod that check the state of your save in order to be sure you unlocked everything (from steam PoV) - While it's logical that this game's content is poorer thant TBoI, it feels too poor. There are 135 spells/items but half of them are starting items that can only be unlocked when finishing the game two times with the corresponding character - Cloud saving is working, but for settings only. If you wish to continue your save, you need to export and import it mannualy. Feels wrong for such a "mobile"-friendly game - Achievements are boring: - Finish the game two times with each chars - Finish the game with each chars while holding 45+ coins - Winning the ending game 10 times (you have a chance to win after the final boss, it's pure luck and forces you to play again if you are unlucky) - Game's mechanics are unclear, even with the tutorial they added after some updates. This could have been a really cool TBoI spin-off but in the end, it feels like an unfinished product. And I'm sure the team members are the saddest people about this.

i enjoy bumbos coin adventures 2 (tm) but the gameplay definitely has problems, some mechanics just aren't explained to you which can kill runs until you figure out why exactly it happened. if the match 4 gameplay looks cool to you go get it on sale. ALSO DOWNLOAD THE LEGEND OF BUMBO WINDFALL PATCH IT FIXES A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS SUCH AS ACHIEVEMENTS NOT UNLOCKING + QOL its a must have considering the game is basically abandoned as of 2024, makes the experience better :D

April 2024

It's like Candy Crush, but with poop, bones and teeth instead of candies, and with some deep lore connection to The Binding of Isaac. Also, it's highly recommended to install the "Windfall" mod (you can look for it on the interwebs), otherwise the game is an unbalanced mess.
