The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ Beta v1.9.7.9

As usual the team has been working on good update for version 1.9.7.9. It's live NOW, you can go play it. But be sure to check out the changelog below. Lots of good improvements for features, balancing and bug fixing--including an annoying one related to online unlocks when someone joins. Oh yes, and input delay adjustment!

As always, Isaac Producer Alex and I are available on X, if you have questions. For bug fixes, please do send details emails to isaac@nicalis.com .

Lastly, if you haven't checked out the Nicalis YouTube channel, we're uploading multiple Isaac-related videos every week, starting with Rebirth items. You may recognize the voice!
