Sorry for the triple post, but one thing I would like to know is his opinion on games like Journey.

[AlquimistEd]

I don't think it's weird more people beat isaac than SMB, it's way waaaay shorter. It's much harder to 100% it though. Also there's always the element of luck, wich is more prevalent in isaac.

This has motivated me to design my first few games that will definitely fail and then make one that will destroy your mind. Be back in 9 yrs...

Gish, Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac are all great games. Thank you so much, Edmund, for all your hard word! You have kept my love for games alive with your beautiful art and great design. Looking forward to more from you and Team Meat in the future. Cheers from Denmark!

I got both Isaac and WotL for like £5 total, and I've spent about 80 hours playing it. And if you think that is value for money, look at what Northernlion has done. He's nearly at YouTube run video 500. That is INSANE. Great game.
