A somewhat barebones "Binding of Isaac-like", created using DragonRuby Game Toolkit​​, and mostly using sprites/tiles from Canari Games CanariPack 8BIT TopDown​

the controls for firing are kind of wonky and not snappy, but otherwise, great game

why is Isaac's control inverted, I could not get used to

Overall it's well done, but I found it a bit frustrating. You move is slow and the game doesn't respond to buttons fast enough. At least I beat one boss!

The firing and movement is a little slow but it's good otherwise!

Agree with the others, it's a little slow but it looks very nice and I like the concept :)

I think the game maybe crashed after I killed the boss and tried to go down the ladder. Nothing happens and the controls are frozen.

The game had lots of features, as you said very Binding of Isaac-like. Would have benefited from some audio.

The game nice, but the movement is too slow, so that kills the fun a bit. Cool graphics.

The artwork is fantastic. Well done!

The control is a bit weird, some inprovments would make it more fun.

A well-made Isaac like given the timeframe! Definitely could be more fun with it speeding up a bit and potentially a map, so I have any idea where I'm going XD

I hear you loud and clear - it's definitely too slow! I thought it was just all the caffeine I drank that made the world seem slow... I put some advice on the itch.io page for how to speed things up a little, if you fancy some hacking*

You had me at issac-like. And didn't disappoint. Cool to see a DragonRuby game, don't think I've seen one of those before. Nice job!

Love the zelda look with the Isaac mechanics. I think that the game could benefit from sound. I love that the dog shoots tennis balls and the sprite / artwork was great! It is hard not being able to shoot diagonally and I find that enemies take a lot of hits so I just cheese them around corners most of the time.
