I knew after that that if I put a few more months into development I could create something that I could be very proud of, so I went all in." "The random aspects of the game's design totally surprised me, and I designed them. "I had this experience where the game generated an experience that I didn't realize was possible," McMillen told Ars. In fact, the random nature of the gameplay is the reason the game went from an experiment to a full release. The game is filled with this sort of content, so even after hours of playtime there is room for surprise. Other items will grant you special attacks, but it can be unclear which each item actually does until you use it. The game offers you a series of items that upgrade Isaac and make him more powerful, and they also change his appearance so that he slowly becomes something monstrous and ugly. There are multiple endings, so you'll want to finish the game more than once to see everything. There are a selection of boss characters to fight, items that change how your character looks and acts, and ultimately a story to uncover. You move with the WASD keys while firing with the arrow keys, and you must go from room to room collecting items, destroying enemies, and solving puzzles. The game features random dungeons, enemies, and items, so each time you play you have a completely new experience. It has obvious influences, but after a few moments of play, you'll find a unique experience. The game is out now on Steam, works on both Mac and PC, and is only $5. "I thought instead I'd do a little game jam with another friend of mine, Florian, who I'd done a few games with in the past. Tommy (Refenes, the other half of Team Meat) was going to take a vacation and I wanted to do the same, but I hate traveling," McMillen told Ars. Why create a game so soon after the success of Super Meat Boy? "I was bored. The game was created by Edmund McMillen, one-half of the team behind the indie hit Super Meat Boy, and programmer Florian Himsl. Isaac escapes through a trap door in his room, and finds what amounts to hell under his house. The game's graphics may be cute, but the content is chilling. The game's story begins much the same way, with a modern day child trying to escape his mother's attempt on his life due to a religious vision. What if God told you that you must kill your son? The story of Isaac is an often-discussed test of faith from the Hebrew Bible in which Abraham is told to sacrifice his son Isaac, only to be told to spare the child's life at the last moment and slaughter a ram that was entangled in the brush nearby instead.
