Trinkets and Worms and Maps… oh my?

one of the most common questions i get asked a ton on tumblr is are any old items from isaac being removed/replaced? and the answer is yes.. but most are just getting moved around.

an item that a lot of people hated in isaac was the wiggle worm.. but it was so cool… i didnt want to get rid of it! so one of the 1st things i did in rebirth was had it moved down to a trinket. the wiggle worm is one of 18 new trinkets in rebirth, and one of 6 worm type trinkets that change how your shots move/act once you shoot them.

this is the Round worm trinket in effect. (am i the only one who played festers quest?)

but the wiggle worm isnt the only item that has moved around, the Polaroid has been now moved up to an item (i hope yo are happy!). there are a few subtle changes to old items and even some visual make overs (max’s head is now crickets head, based off our newest cat cricket).

another big make over in rebirth is the map.

many of you have been bitchin about it.. assuming thats all there is to work with.. but thats just the MINI MAP! nice and out of the way. i hated how clunky the hud was before so i wanted thinks to be as neat and tidy as possible in rebirth.

as you can see in rebirth pressing the “map” button once will display the fullsized map on the upper right of the screen, this can be toggled on and off and holding the map button will make the full map opaque.

another use for this new button is something many advanced players have requested a lot, if you press and hold map for a few seconds isaac will empty out his pockets, meaning all held pick up items (trinkets, cards, pills) will be tossed to the ground around isaac… but that tick isnt coming off!

next week ill talk more about the shop item pool and reveal a shop exclusive item… ill give you a hint on what it is, you should never stick this item in your butt.. but i know of one guy who has….

SEE YA!
