I just got this game today, and have already beaten Mom. I'm enjoying the game a lot, any general tips & tricks for improving my runs?

when you find a white half heart somewhere other than the boss room after completion, dont pick it up until youre done with the floor

I just got this game today, and have already beaten Mom. I'm enjoying the game a lot, any general tips & tricks for improving my runs?

If you don't receive damage on a floor, you have a very high chance of a devil/Angel room
Don't be afraid to spend health on a damage up in the Devil room, such as the Pentagram, The Pact, or Brimstone. Spirit of the Night is a really good flying item.
Play play play. Thats honestly the best tip for you. You learn the attack pattern of bosses of enemies and you learn what items do. You will lose a lot, but dont be discouraged.
Avoid a green brain like item. Its called bobs brain, and it will most likely end your run. You can get it and see what i mean.
Avoid a pearl like item. Its called Cursed eye and will randomly teleport you out of the room when pick it up.

Mainly i just have a lot of item tips, but mostly you have to use them to know what i mean by them.

Only red heart damage iirc from the first game.

Also I got the brimstone snowflake run again, though it was still with azazel. 2 op

Only red heart damage iirc from the first game.


Yeah, except in the last game i think it was boss only.

No, red heart damage on floor decreased it by one amount and red heart damage on boss decreases by a different amount.

Ah, didnt know

But in this game, the Goat head ignores all that and ALWAYS gives you a Devil/Angel room. Also boosts damage. Its super good.
I played cain and got a good run. Got really good damage before the Caves and got multiple angel rooms in a  row because of a free goat head in a mob room. I got 1 that gave 3 spirit hearts, a Trinity shield, and Dead dove.
Killed Krampus and got Coal (Which is what i wanted)
Found a White heart room and used the lovers card inside so i got 2 health for free.

Sadly I found a teleporting red chest which sent me to the angel room, skipping moms hearts, so i only beat isaac int he run


Also, if anyone is wonder, the boss rush only happens if you kill mom before 20 min. Thats what the clock is know for atm. 

ok so, im in the depths i got a low dmg quad shot run, no biggie prob gona lose the fight

earlier i had found quoad from this secret trapdoor that you sometimes find under rocks and stuff
i had found them before so i knew to put my stompylegs to use that i had gotten all the way back from basement

so back to the depths. looking p grim
i clear out a monstro 2 room and start clearing the rocks around and i get another trapdoor
i take it in hopes of receiving a sweet item
but theres no item, the room goes off to the next screen where there is a double wide room
with a trap door down (bug early in the original game) and 4 deal with the devil items
i grab the items play the devil deals and go down the trapdoor


"THE DARKROOM"

and i got gubby (again ofcrs)

im not gona spoil the floor enemies and the boss but i shreked trough the boss in 3-4 shots of quad gubby power!


tl;dr chest like floor under sheol

Does anyone feel that this game is insanely easier than the flash version? I've already beaten Isaac and I only died once.

But you are already familiar with the original

that's because you don't have all of the platinum god stuff yet
or whatever that may be in this

what's different in hard difficulty? I don't lose a whole heart upon hit or anything, and the only change i've actually seen are floors having more frequent curses.

More curses and bosses drop no hearts.

Also, I noticed Champions drop less consumables.

Not sure about anything else.
