I've played this game for over 24 hours, literally. Something is wrong with me.
I hate it now, though. Can't do a friggin' no-damage run. It's almost impossible.

I really want to like the game, but I cant get over the 4-way only shooting. Is there a reason its like that (is that part of the genre) ?
Any chance there is going to be a console release? I played the demo and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm not a big fan of WASD controls. I'd prefer this on a controller, but if it's only going to be on the PC I will probably buy it soon.
Played the demo yesterday and liked it more than I thought I would. It is quite fun to replay the game.
Still, though the game is cheap, I will wait for a sale (that will probably come with this new content). There's a big backlog on my back right now.

It is unlikely, the only possible thing may be 3DS. Edmund has explained he wished the 3DS had more games and wanted to see about selling Issac on it.
He doesn't like MS after his Super meat boy launch, so he likely won't bother with xbla. PSN, I'm not sure. Wiiware is pretty dead at this point, and the game goes past the pitiful 42MB limit or whatever it was.

Playing on a Mac, achievements are still broken, so I have no desire to try a no damage run. However, this game is great. I'm probably an hour from the end of Deus Ex, and four hours into Space Marine, but I can't bring myself to play anything else. It's just so good.
@ZRB - You can shoot diagonally; use your momentum. The game was designed with the aiming challenge in mind. Being able to shoot in full 360º would make it much easier.

If they put checkpoints and savegames, I'm definetely in. I don't need to play a demo to know that having one life will render this game unplayable for me.
@RaelXX: You could just try to find the dead cat. It gives you nine lives.
Anyway, checkpoints would kind of ruin the game. It only takes like a half hour to beat the game anyway, they're not really necessary.

NIfty.
I got Joy2Key mapping to my old PS1-style gravis pad, which saves the hands a little bit. Fun to play either way though. I'm not THAT big of a rogue like fan, but this one I'm really getting into.
Also, Technology. I wish I could find it at the beginning of EVERY run!

Super fun Indie game,
however,
Can be extremely frustrating when you get unlucky, as about 60% of the game is luck.
The other 40% is twitch and Ikaruga muscle-memory skills that were hardcoded into your DNA when the plastic of your dreamcast controller melded with your sweat-laden hands at 3am in the morning all of those years ago.
@bbain
Do not get the cat, it is a complete waste of 2 precious hearts.
Yes it gives you 9 lives, but it limits you to one heart (which means if you get hit once, not only does it reset the room you're in, but you also effectively lose a heart, permanently)

"I can see why certain people might be hesitant to blindly buy"
Wait wait wait, you're telling me people are still hesitant spending 5 USD on a game such as this?

Vitruvius, the key words in your comment are "such as this"... not everyone knows what such a game this is. I dunno about you but I can't go around buying every $5 game on steam. There's a shitload of them on there ya know. Being cheap doesn't automatically get your game sold.
So yeah, I tried the demo earlier today and immediately purchased the full version from steam. I die a lot. Shit's hard.

@Tristix
I understand your point. But given the foundation that the developer already established with Super Meat Boy, you'd think 5 USD is a no-brainer for the team's next game (and may I say what a spectacular game it is).
At least the game has a demo, and there's pretty much no way of finding any form of flaw in this game aside from the difficulty, inefficient use of Flash and the possibly offensive setting. Of course it's not perfect, but it's a damn fine game for just 5 bucks. You'd forgive me if I thought people shouldn't be hesitant to buy it.

@wally it is made using flash so only wsad however you can use Joy2Key (and it is highly recommended)
@ZRB only 4 way shooting was a design choice I think. However you can fire at almost a 45degree angle by moving when you shoot since your shots gain the momentum of the direction you are moving when you shoot.
@People who hate the 1 life playthrough
1. There is an item that grants you an extra life
2. The game is exceedingly short, save points would be useless since you can easily beat the game in 30-45minutes. Adding save points would just make the game overly easy.
3. TRY THE GAME FIRST

I've beaten the game 11 times now and I have 65 deaths. So 1 out of 6 times I played I beat it without dying. Step up your game ;)

50% chance to complete the game. You can easily get hooked up. I'm beginning to like the rogue genre, I think thats dangerous!

Dude... Javier. I guess it was pretty obvious that the last boss would be his mom but did you really have to give that away just to stroke your own gamer dick? I really wish you hadn't done that. I haven't beaten the game yet.

I hate to break it to you but its been there since day one. Read "About the Game". Click view achievements for more.

If I have to dig so hard to get it that I'm viewing achievements then no, Javier, it wasn't "there since day one." There's a reason any article listing achievements/trophies in a game is marked with spoiler tags on any website you see them. They're spoilers. And so are you.
Anyone wanting to play with a gamepad, download joyToKey.
Works great with my wireless xbox 360 gamepad and my logitech rumble pad too.
I guess it doesn't support gamepads natively because it's written in flash/actions cript. I guess that API can't access Direct X.

@Javier If you visit your own stats, it already says 'Mom kills 0'. Nothing wrong with what he posted.
Haven't beaten it yet but still enjoying it. For the price it is its worth it but I still see why some might be put off without trying it first.

Wanted to pre-order it out of love for SMB but could not get past that god forsaken trailer. Jesus Christ!
@Tristix - Don't worry, nothing is actually spoiled for you. To explain how would actually spoil something. I've been playing for a couple dozen hours and still see lots of new stuff, new bosses, etc. It's incredibly hard to spoil the entire game, but there are no real spoilers here.
