I'm a huge Isaac fan, but this is not a finished game
I'm a huge Isaac fan, but this is not a finished game. No options, no controller support, no keyboard support, no mouseover text. Missing sounds, no volume controls at all, and bugs all over. This feels like a beta test.

Not the game for me
This game is VERY clearly in beta, not a full-release quality title, yet it is advertised as if it is a full release title. If this were his first game i wouldn't bat an eye, but i'd expect better from a seasoned dev who is riding the coattails of his major series. Pros: Gameplay and concept are interesting enough, judging it as a standalone game not a tie in to BoI(To the games benefit, i feel this game does not appeal to many BoI players. Graphics are, how do i put it? Charming. Cons: White config menu at the start of the game is NOT a great way to start. Especially when the graphics quality options are somewhat unclear(you pick between Fantastic and Beautiful, whatever that means.), and there are no resolutions above 1080p. Menu looks like it was literally cobbled together in five minutes. Flat black text on a picture of a piece of paper. No in game options menu. All of the above, as well as an overall lack of polish, really make the game feel less "charming" and more "cheaply animated". Final Verdict: Honestly i wish steam offered a "Maybe" or "Wait a bit" option for "would you recommend this game", because i definitely believe this game will get better in time, and im not going to refund it in hopes that it does(And because i got more than enough enjoyment out of the Isaac games to toss him a few extra bucks), but as it stands now it isn't worth the asking price.
