Inspired by "The Binding of Patrick" i started playing vanilla BoI. After numerous failures I finally beat Mom's heart. I had a strange run with the shovel in which I bypassed Mom, and Mom's heart and died to a miniboss. Finally I had an awesome run with Kain thanks to some Arcades and slot machines and i had a TON of heats, 5 full healths, a one up, a teleporter and about 15 full hearts scattered in Mom's level along with some tears and damage up.

In the next level I fully assembled Meat Boy who was extremely helpful, had a scare against death and went on to beat Mom's heart on my first try (though i've watched Patrick beat her several times so, no fair). However, in Satan's level i got down to it because of some lucky minibosses but i got a lucky find on a secret room with a slot machine in it. Bombing through all the doors, i found the boss room and went for it. I beat his little guardians and then i used explosive diarrhea and the Unicorn to beat him fairly quickly.

Thanks Patrick for getting me into this game!

Congrats! Satan can be a bastard of a boss fight. I still think he's the coolest final boss in the game. The expansion adds some different final bosses, but I don't think they're as cool or grandiose as Satan.

I saw the recent Binding of Patrick yesterday and I got excited for this game to come to PS4. Wasn't interested before but I'm glad I watched it. Also glad it'll be free for PS+ members when it comes out.

I just can't get into the game. It's not that I don't like the style of them or hard games in particular. Just something runs me the wrong way and I just can't continue. I've tried numerous times to restart it but everytime I just play for a few mijutes and say eh I'm done. But nice work, I can't imagine that was easy.
