The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

I beg of you devs, make locked joystick an option and my life is yours!!!

The game was just ripped from console and pc and slapped on mobile with no attention to making the game work with ios and they decided to charge full price. When I load the game it doesn't even fit the whole screen and I am stuck with a black bar on both sides of the screen. I can't even use those areas as controls so I have to move my fingers to the middle of the screen to play, covering the little screen space I can actually see. I have to make sure to not accidentally touch the black bars because they register no input which has gotten me killed multiple times. Game would be great if they actually had literally 1 developer to make it compatible with newer bigger phones but this has been an issue for years with no fix other than to use controller which completely defeats the purpose of it being a mobile game. For reference I am on iPhone 14 plus and the current phone out right now is the iPhone 17 so in terms of apple I am behind and this game still doesn't run optimally. If you want this game just buy it on pc or console otherwise you will be wasting your money with this version

i love it love it love it so high quality

Yes

The floating joysticks in this game make it impossible to play competently and there is no option to disable them. The game would get 5 stars from me if not for this one, simple issue that's makes the game unplayable without a controller.

EDIT: After playing the game a bit more, I can definitely say that these controls are horrible. I can't fathom what they were thinking when they made them but it's so bad that I just can't fathom a competent developer making something so horrible. The devs must not have even tried these controls because they are genuinely so bad. I might even go as far as to say that the controls are an affront to god.

They said “bizarre” in the description

I love this game,don’t get me wrong, but the joysticks for the moving need improvement.please fix it😐 cuz I died on womb becuz the joystick glitched and I couldn’t move

Please add locks to the controls or change it this game is good this one thing will make this game better

The floating movement control that follows my finger makes it really difficult to move and shoot—especially when picking up items, as the game sometimes mistakes movement inputs for taps on the items themselves, preventing me from moving. It would be much better to have fixed positions for the fire and movement controls.

I’d love this game so much. I play almost every day if you just don’t play with a controller, the movement kind of sucks but if you have a USB-C in the USB-C to that’s it, you can disconnect your controller Xbox. I don’t know about PlayStation, but it’s a great game overall has a decent amount of things. Luckily, you can get the DLC. You don’t have to buy a PC and steam and get all the DLC’s in skip straight to rebirth.

Whenever I exit out the game sometimes my progress gets reset and I have to do a lot of things over again and its really frustrating because I’m not even good at this game and to unlock hella stuff after u almost died trying to get it really takes the fun out of playing, fix it, now.

Love this game to death. Have played since flash. Found an issue recently, though. When playing as Lilith (obviously on mobile) if I pause and swipe out of the app to answer a message or any given reason, all my extra buddies from cambion conception disappear. This will kill your run a lot of the time especially on greed mode with Lilith. I’ll stack about 10-12 buddies, swipe out to answer someone or do something, and when I re enter the game they all disappear.

Why is this stupid joystick not fixed？It even prevents me from starting to move when at rest. I've died many times because of this stupid reason！

I’ve been playing the binding of Issac since it released on iOS when there weren’t any DLC and only Rebirth was on it, and after they released the DLCS, I bought them immediately!

The last Update was to fix Forgotten Needing A trinket to change to the ghost, and fixing pocket actives and adding more controls to Tainted Characters.

This was Almost 3 YEARS AGO, and ever since then, there has been countless bugs, unusable items + Trinkets, Awful control changes for no reason, save file corruption and many MANY more.

Issue One / The controls:
The Controls are really awful, and are a major downgrade from the previous ones before the DLCS were buyable, Dropping Trinkets are on the bottom left of the screen, now this sounds fine… but the button is INVISIBLE, not to mention, if you even GRAZE the near the trinket button, you simply stop moving and stop in-place, this is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL to deal with, and requires an unnecessary odd finger placement just to avoid the trinket button, and that’s just one of the issues, due to the screen now being much smaller, the Moving controls on iPad are AWFUL, they block the screen, are annoying, can make it difficult to use them if you drag them too far away from the area, and are simply a nuisance, this was not an issue as they were completely stopped in place in the previous update, now they move all over the place for no reason whatsoever.

Issue Two / Items + Trinkets + Items being unusable:
Items like D-Infinity and Blood Bombs / Trinkets like RC Remote and blood clots / golden bombs at 0 Bombs, and many more are simply useless without a controller, blood bombs and golden bombs can’t be used at 0 bombs due to the fact that the bombs button disappears at 0 bombs, items like D-Infinity can’t be switched due to the fact there’s no button or action to switch them, and RC car and Blood clots can’t allow you to move them separately due to the fact the button doesn’t appear, these items and trinkets and pickups can’t not be used without the use of a controller, and without a controller these things become UTTERLY USELESS making them pointless deadweight, in the previous update, you could switch D-Infinity with the trinket button due to it acting like a Key, but now that it’s been fixed, you simply can NOT use D-infinity or other items like it.

Issue Three / Dailies being (Semi)unplayable:
The button to play dailies is completely grayed out, so how are you meant to unlock some of the Unlocks that requires you to play Dailies? Simple! Just turn off airplane mode / the Wifi, turn it back on, and then QUICKLY press the button as the WiFi comes back on before it grays out again, this will take MANY attempts to even be able to do so, this is MISERABLE to deal with, and without the knowledge of what you need to do to ungray the button, it practically makes the unlocks Unobtainable.

The Third and biggest issue / complete Save file reversals / deletion:
Thankfully I’ve never experienced this issue, but the fact that this can happen is really bad, it isn’t possible to copy a save file so when one of these do happen, it is simply impossible to do anything, this is not only really awful, but can also be extremely demotivating and can Ruin the game and any enjoyment of it.

Yes the binding of Isaac is a very well made and fairly polished game, and While I enjoy the binding of Issac, I simply do not recommend YOU get it on iOS, it simply has too many issues for it to be worth it, all I can hope is one day these issues can be fixed, but until then, NEVER PLAY THIS GAME IN IOS.

Over all good game I have no complaints everything about it should inspire other game developers literally perfect
