From what I've heard, the latest BoI expansion/DLC/whatever dropped Linux support for some reason. Said expansion also seems to be fairly controversial, it sounds like a lot of players feel that it ruins the game. I don't know if not having the expansion installed allows you to avoid the changes from it though, they may have rebalanced the base game too.

It'd be nice to see the original game and its expansion here, especially because of how drastic the price difference is between that and the new version with all of its DLC. That would also give hope to seeing other related titles like Super Meat Boy that (as far as I'm aware) have nothing to do with Nicalis.

I'll add myself to those wondering about the fate of this free Christmas game. I've never understood putting time and effort into making something like that only to arbitrarily make it unavailable through legal means. Hopefully the game will at least stay in people's libraries; it disturbs me that this is even a question but GOG's removed stuff before as seen with that demo someone else mentioned. The policy should be that once it's in your library it stays there forever unless you refund it or request a removal from your account. Hopefully someday GOG will make that the case, but until then at least we have offline installers I guess.

The original Binding of Isaac was (although I think it was Adobe AIR that was used).

I'm pretty sure Rebirth is a from-scratch rewrite of the game in a different programming language (I'm thinking something like C/C++ or something?), giving it better performance and removing the flash dependence.

At the time the original game was released, action rougelites were not common IIRC. As a result, the game had the advantage of being novel, hence why the game was hyped.

Also, this game is from the developers of Super Meat Boy, a precision platformer that became rather famous (and which started a sub-genre that later spawned games like Celeste and Sunblaze).

thx
not my ype of games :=

Finally! Thank you Nicalis and GOG! Been waiting on these since forever ago. :')

Is there a bug? I can't add Secret Santa to the cart (and to my account). The game also doesn't appear in the search bar.

edit: ok, now they changed the "add to cart" button to a "notify me"...

It's the same for me, too ...

'Notify me' shows up on the gamecard even if you added it to your library in time.

Based! But still would be good to know if it's one of those games that will be removed of our libraries...

I can't add Cave Story Secret Santa, it says "coming soon"

"as of today and until 8th January 2022, 8 AM UTC, Cave Story's Secret Santa is available on GOG as a giveaway" then I check after clocking out at work to find it has been removed. Anyone knows what happened?

Unsure I can only assume maybe this is another Nicalis stunt as has been controversies before dealing with Nicalis in the past ..

probably a GOG screw-up unfortunately, but if I'm wrong let me know

Umm...what am I missing here? =\

As fas as I remember, Cave Story+ with better graphics, pretty much like Spelunky has the free version and the HD paid version

There was some controversy on Cave Story+ back in the day, sorry if I misremember but was something in the lines the original single developer accuse the publisher of misleading him to secure the ip righs.

What giveaway? *stares at the notify me button*
