Other Notes:
we are blown away on how much people instantly love bum-bo and we will continue to fix and update the game till its perfect! here are a few non fix type things we plan on doing in the coming weeks.

- we notice people want more visual tells and mouse over states for the hud/board. once all the general stuff is done, we will do big quality of life update that should make you all very happy!

- since this game isn't exactly Isaac, i want to make sure all the items are totally balanced to the best of my ability. what that means is i want to take a poll soon on what you guys think are the top 10-20 worst items, then ill do a balance pass on them and make sure they no longer suck!

- i can say that even after less than 24 hours of release, the game has enough of a fan base to warrant an expansion. so dont be surprised if we announce something dlc wise after repentance release ;).

---------------------

James and i are super grateful for all the support and how kind and helpful most of you have been when it comes to the bugs, i hope the next week or 2 show you how dedicated we are to making sure this game is as perfect as we can get it!

see you tomorrow!
-Edmund & James

The Prequel to The Binding of Isaac is here and its made out of cardboard!

The Legend of Bum-bo is a puzzle based "deckbuilding roguelike" by Edmund McMillen (The Binding of isaac, Super Meat Boy) and James Interactive, where players collect hordes of items that can be modified, upgraded and comboed with others in many interesting ways. Play as one of many Bum-bo, each with its own unique abilities, as they smash, bash and splash their way through a variety of cardboard monstrosities, giant bosses and dark personal urges...

When Bum-bo's only coin is stolen by a mysterious entity and pulled down into the sewer, Bum-bo finds himself facing droves of deranged enemies, lost children, his fears, and eventually the beast that stole his beloved coin.

Features:
- 100+ unique items that can be modified and upgraded.
- 80+ unique trinkets that give neato passive abilities.
- 4+ playable characters each with their own unique abilities.
- 10 ugly, yet cute bosses.
- 30 enemies
- Amazing music by Ridiculon!
- loads of unlockables!
- Animated cut scenes that will make you feel bad!
- Cardboard Poop!

BUM-BO WANT UPDATE!

The Legend of Bum-bo launched only a few hours ago and it has easily become one of my most successful launches of all time when it comes to sales! so i want to give a huge thank you to the fans who supported us!

James spent the past few days crushing bugs for release and got through our list, but as expected, there are still quite a few more you guys have run into and reported.

i just wanted to do this update so you all know how important making this game perfect is to us and we will be updating the game daily with bug fixes, balances and general quality of life updates ( sound options / saving and loading / mouse over functionality / etc ).

i think we made a super special game, and with time i think we can make it near perfect!

be sure to set the game to auto update! ( and for now avoid poisoning enemies with spell resistance and try not to take 3+ trinkets )

ill post patch details when each go up!

have fun and i hope you avoid bugs! ( i think we have all the current ones listed but in case you want to report some tweet them at me @edmundmcmillen )

XOXO
-Edmund
