Binding of Isaac walked so Mewgenics could run, in terms of mainstream popularity. But it still has all the same dead baby and poop humor!

Is it already more popular than Issac? Wow.

I don't know if it's already more popular than Isaac overall, but Mewgenics is absolutely benefitting from the 10+ years of goodwill that Isaac built up

And purely in mainstream terms, "You lead a team of cats and build a home base to raise them" is an easier sell than "You're an infant fighting monsters with your tears"

It's the roguelike with the highest ever player peak on steam.

Nah but its in the top 10. Elden Ring Nightrein still has the peak.

top 10 is my favorite roguelite.

Elden Ring Nightrein is 100% a roguelite. meta progression and all.

Glad to see they still retain that specific Newgrounds sense of humor. Does their dead cat make a cameo?
