The Legend Of Bum-Bo: 10 Things You Need To Know

10. It's A Prequel To The Binding Of Isaac

Given the insane amount of depth Isaac's item and character pool has, McMillen was very much spoiled for choice in who he could have chosen for his prequel. However, the character chosen was likely far from anyone's first guess — the game centres around Bumbo, who you might recognise as the item Bum Friend.

For regular Binding of Isaac players, Bum Friend was often a nuisance of an item that would snatch coins before you could pick them up, though as the main character of his own game, Bumbo very much seems to have come into his own as he begins his quest to reclaim his coin.

Unlike in the original game, Bumbo seems to do some serious damage against the monsters this time, which makes a decent change from dropping mostly useless items.
