    Will keep at it though!

    In my opinion, the bombs and trinkets should be placed above the shooting controls, and the pills and cards on the left side of the iPad screen.
    Trinkets and bombs are most useful in combat.

    Okay, I really like this game and I never played it on PC or console. But using my nimbus controller, I enjoy it a ton. Now to the issue:
    I think I might be an idiot. I have made one (SINGLE) run that was victorious. In 63 of them...so tell me TouchArcade...am I an idiot? Or is it really that hard?

    For anyone on the fence about this: I picked up the original game on Steam on launch day and could never crack into it. I decided to give it another shot on iOS and am really enjoying it. I just beat mom for the first time last night and I've unlocked Azazel, Lazarus, and Magdalene. Still lots of content to unlock but I'm making progress!

    Then, to see whether the game got "better" on iOS or if I've just gotten better at games, I booted up my dusty old PC and gave Isaac another shot. I honestly prefer the touch controls over the keyboard controls, although I've not tried it with a controller just yet. YMMV but I think they've done a tremendous job with the touch controls.

    I dont know if you can unlock the endings when you use a typed seed....sure the endings will still play but it will probably not unlocked in your menu to rewatch it.

    Wish you could log seeds in game, perhaps there is a way and I missed it.

    Well I've already beaten Mom and Mom's Heart. Guess I've finished all this game has to offer and put it on the shelf.
    JK! I just know this game has heaps of stuff in it for me to find!

    In regards to Azazel, I love him! Consistently get far with him :)

    This is exactly the same situation I was in. I actually went back to the PC game too, so I've been playing it on both platforms. Sort of wish autofire would come to the PC version.

    Portrait mode: can the control buttons be spread apart a bit more?

    They seem to be really close together, and it doesn't fit my fingers comfortably. I play on a 7plus.

    Barring that, I hope they put in some kind of UI option so we can move the buttons ourselves.

    I have the game on Xbox One, Wii U, IPad mini and iPhone 6 Plus. My favorite to play in is my phone. I'm surprised people don't like the controls. They are much better than the consoles even with 2 actual sticks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think the controls are fine. I usually play in landscape mode. I just feel the locations for the virtual joysticks in portrait mode could be a bit more spread apart. It might not be noticeable on a non-plus-sized phone.

    Via @HelperMonkey, who himself found the info somewhere in these forums:
    One is analog movement, meaning you can move slowly or quickly by varying degrees of input. The other isn't :)

    I have a Mad Catz CTRLi mifi controller and it randomly disconnects with this game. I've had it for a while now and rarely if ever had this problem before yet it happens every time I play Isaac after a few minutes. Only way to get it to reconnect is turn the controller off and close and relaunch Isaac.

    Anyone else have a similar issue or any suggestions? I have tried new batteries and that's not the issue.

    This may not be terribly helpful, but no such issues with a Nimbus, so it may be specific to that device...?

    Simple solution... ditch the controller and play with the touch screen the way it was designed
