Good news for those of you who really, really wanted to play the Binding of Isaac, but were too cheap to shill out the $5 entry fee to play the game as Edmund McMillen and new Grounds have teamed up to offer a demo of the game in the flash variety!

The game can be played via your browser right now but only features 2 of the full 8 levels in the Binding of Isaac. Also if you buy the full version (for only $5!) you get a slew of extra content including additional endings, more items and 3+ unlockable characters as well as any updates that may or may not be coming…

For those who don’t know what the Binding of Isaac is, here’s a brief description:

When Isaac’s mother starts hearing the voice of God demanding a sacrifice be made to prove her faith, Isaac escapes into the basement facing droves of deranged enemies, lost brothers and sisters, his fears, and eventually his mother.

The Binding of Isaac is a randomly generated action RPG shooter with heavy Rogue-like elements. Following Isaac on his journey players will find bizarre treasures that change Isaac’s form giving him super human abilities and enabling him to fight off droves of mysterious creatures, discover secrets and fight his way to safety.

Our own review of the game will be coming later this week as well as a walkthrough of sorts. Until then, if you feel the need check out the demo and let us know what you think!
