balanced game

The main idea of this is to reduce the number of one-shot synergies and make the game more elaborated and balanced, more skill-based, to make such synergies rare asf and a merit of the player.

This mod also has another version, including other mods to make game much better, and some very good resprites. Scroll down and find it!

The weights of Q4 have been significantly reduced, the weights of strong items have been lowered, and the weights of good items have been slightly changed.

However in Ultra Secret Room ALL red items still have the SAME chance to appear!

*Weight is how common an item is. An item with a weight of 0.5 is generated 2 times less often than an item with a weight of 1.0 and so on. C Section’s weight is 0.1 in this mod, this means that you will get 90% less C Section throughout the entire playthrough.

When the weights are balanced, the game feels a lot more fair and challenging. Also I changed some item qualities!

For example:
– Old Bandage is removed from Boss but added to Angel and Treasure pools.
– Dark Bum is removed from treasures.
– The Common Cold and Tammy’s Head are added to Golden Chest.
– Blood Bag and Portable Slot are removed from Ultra Secret pool.
– In Greed mode: D20 is removed from Greed Shop and now only appears in Greed Treasure room with an extremely small chance.
– Extended Shell Game pool.
…There is a lot of changes…

Some items, like Night Light and Poke Go, are now worth 10 coins, while Diplopia and Birthright now worth 30 coins.

A lot of items that worth 2 heart cont. in the devil deal will be sold in the shop for 30 coins. And vice versa.

tmtrainer for 1 coin btw

All the changes work in Greed mode too.

Most entities and bosses have increased projectile speed. They are not like super fast, but you can definitely tell. Also all Challenges are played in hard mode now.

Enemies overall are moving faster, I will not name them…

– Almost all HP up items heal only half a heart now. Because it’s overdone in the original.
– Placenta is Full HP + Regeneration now, no HP up.
– Bomb items now give 2 bombs instead of 5, and the Pyromaniac does not give bombs anymore cuz it doesn’t make sense.
—-And moremoremore—

– Death Certificate now has 12 charges and it needs to be fully charged for use.
– We Need To Go Deeper now has 12 charges too.
– Book of Revelations and Satanic Bible have 8.
– Yum Heart has 6.
– Book of Secrets is 4…
A lot of items are touched!

Orbitals and stuff like that are added back, but all invincibility/immortality-giving, extra life items etc. are removed, Glowing Hourglasses too 😀

Added armor to ALL regular bosses.

Almost EVERY enemy and boss are now gaining +HP every floor (StageHP)!

Like, if you u use Soul of Lilith with Clear Rune, now there will be more charges.
