The Binding of Isaac

A top-down roguelike shooter where you fight through randomly generated rooms as a child with tears as a weapon. Items you find change your abilities and appearance in strange ways, so each run plays differently. The tone is dark, bizarre and often funny. Is it your kind of game?
