Would You Play a Smash TV Roguelike With Zelda Dungeons?

The headline says it all, doesn't it?

Even better, it's coming from Edmund McMillen, one half of the two-man development team behind Super Meat Boy. Titled The Blinding of Issac, McMillen revealed details on his blog today, a project he's working on as Team Meat begins putting together whatever's coming after Super Meat Boy.

While the dungeons are imitating the structure established in The Legend of Zelda, the layouts themselves are randomly generated. The game even has a frickin' treasure room with items to buy! The specifics are still being worked out, but there will be at least six worlds/dungeons to fight through, with a minimum of 10 different bosses. And tons and tons of items.

Oh, and Danny Baranowsky of Super Meat Boy, Canabalt and others is doing the soundtrack.

Basically, this sounds awesome.

The game's coming in August sometime through Steam. Just take my money already, won't you?

Well, I guess I'd have to see it in motion to actually get a feel for it.
 
How the fuck did I get first after slowly reading the whole thing while eating?

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Do Want 

Yup, "do want" indeed. Day one Steam purchase confirmed.

I would like that

hope its on the mac

Is there big money? Big prizes? If so, I'm in.

This looks interesting. I demand that somebody buy it for me.

I'll buy anything Edmund McMillen put his name on at this point.

Sold already.

Betus Blues!!

Only for Steam? :'(

kind of sounds like meritous

Oh, I am so gonna buy this.

The first game was an homage to Super Mario, this one to Zelda, next Metroid?

Uhm...the game is called "The Binding of Isaac" ... not Blinding.

The title is based on a bible story about God testing Abraham's loyalty by asking him to sacrifice his son.

That sounds like an amazing idea. I hope it will deliver.

Hey I'm gonna buy this.

Hmmm I need to see the game in motion to actually decide anything.

I don't even... This sounds almost too good to be true. Sold so hard.

I'd rather have a new Smash TV... please, Warner Bros., please?

@morecowbell24: This game is just an Edmund McMillen joint, not something from Team Meat, if that's what you're going at.

Would I? Is the space pope reptilian?!

This will be worth it for the soundtrack alone

I believe a 'Fuck Yes' is in order.

I'd buy it.

I would like to see multiplayer support, because nothing's funnier then having your best friend screw you over in one the hardest games imaginable.

Wow, sounds fucking awesome. Sign me up! And with Baranowsky doing the soundtrack, and I can only assume the music will be amazing as well. Stoked.

Me want.

Wait, how can something control like Smash TV and still be a roguelike?

Same here. I loved SMB and their soundtrack, but if I had to decide looking at that picture I would say "no". I hope it's good though.

Sounds awesome, can't wait.

Oh, what's that? My favorite game, mixed with my favorite genre, and my favorite childhood series? 
 
WELL HOT DAMN

Although I play almost all of McMillen's games, I never really liked the art style.

But does it have the Zelda treasure fanfare?

Give me permadeath or give me death!

Looking forward to it!

Sounds great, just have to hope it is.

more DannyB music? i just came.

I'm sold and so glad its coming to steam too.

Before I read the article I looked at the picture and said, "this has to be a team meat game."

I cant wait to see more of this.

Not sold on it yet, but the concept sounds interesting. Smash TV worked because it was zoomed out enough to get a stressful amount of enemies on the screen. I'm always encouraged when a project is from a smaller team.

Super pumped, Super Meat Boy is one of my favorite games of all time!

I hate it so much when "Roguelike" is used as a noun.
