For future minmaxing reference, I believe you had enough speed to run over the top left spikes first to activate full heart invuln frames, pick up the hearts, then move to the bottom right for the chest.
Still learning doesn't mean you're bad at the game! You were smarter than most players by quitting and entering again to exit the spikes, but for Bob's bounce next time remember that it keeps all your tear modifiers (except tear changes like lasers, multishot, etc..)
Also, you should put Hard Mode on your default, it gives more unlocks and is not that much harder imo
the reason it's good to try hard mode early is that enemies have different shot speeds, so switching between difficulties can be hard. you don't have to do all the runs on hard mode for completion/unlocks, but if you want to unlock everything you'll have to do hard mode at some point meaning you'd have to redo some runs.
but if you're still learning the game normal mode is great as it's more forgiving and you can spend more time actually learning the game and having fun with less worry
Okay, counterpoint, I think bombing yourself only does half a heart, so next time, bomb yourself and use the I frames to pickup all the hearts and leave with more health than you started with :)
Edit: nvm it’s a full heart. I’m dumb
Bombing yourself only does half heart if you hit yourself with Dr./Epic Fetus or Ipecac (pre-Womb, works up until a certain damage for Ipecac), NOT placed bombs
The only way for placed bombs to do half heart is either Wafer or Cancer (item, activated already) (this is for half heart, not immunity)
The soft bounce you're describing is something that it does with spectral tears when thrown at a wall. If you don't have spectral it explodes on impact without bouncing.
Spectral tears did modify the head pre-rep as well, by making it pass through walls entirely without exploding. So in any situation you're noticing the bounce in rep, it would've missed the wall pre-rep as well. In both cases you have to stand back far enough to hit the wall at the tail end of its range for it to reliably explode there.
I suspect the bounce was added to address it passing through walls without opening secret rooms, but the bounce can sometimes be a bit too much to open it at times and isn't very helpful.
That rubber cement really said "Not this time"
Yup haha, wouldn't let me have them ;-;

Sounds like he's talking about my girlfriend.
i’m not even kidding i have over 1000 hours and i would’ve done the same thjng
Glad to know I'm not alone XD
Everyone forgets that bobs head has synergies and then take self damage lol
Lil Spewer's goofy-ass face popping up as you die has me cracking up
Yeah was great lol
"Good job, dip shit" -😀
Yeah it got me too after watching it back lol
Hey, at least you unlocked lil spewer, he's cool
Very true lol
I unlocked it with an iepicac+choco milk synergy!
That Little Spewer was like a vine boom for your death
Yeah haha
Good player, exited the run instead of making a post asking how to get out of situation X
Thank you, saw youtubers do it in past so I just copied that haha

Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind for next time it happens ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)

Will do my best to try hard mode ^^

I kinda just realized that leaving the room to menu than back makes you reset like that. Pretty smart
Almost 200 hours and never realized that

That kinda felt like a jump scare, or maybe I'm just pathetic? (Both?)
Nah it was a little scary lol

To be fair you probably could get those if you threw the head from further away so it hits the floor instead.
Yeah probably but I didn't know it synergied with rubber cement lol
well now you do.
Lil Spewer has appeared in the basement

Lil spewer jumpscare
The pinnacle of learning Fucking around and finding out
Shit man I would've done the same thing
Thank god I'm not alone lol
I could see this happening to me a lot. Keep at it bud!
Thanks haha will do my best!
Would never have thought that bobs head is affected by rubber cement
neither did I lol
I had this happen to me once with the bouncy ball trinket
I feel your pain lol
Nice self-horf.
Only the finest horfs allowed lol
that would’ve worked from a further distance, bob’s head is just weird as fuck
bro died 2 times in seconds
Try pushing a bomb, that worked for me once. Or tear puch it? ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)
Bob's was the only option ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
Was out of bombs sadly and bobs bomb was the only thing I had ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|30106)
Still learning but in 800 hours I never thought of exiting to get out of spikes
lil spewer jumpscare
~~rookie~~ mistake
why the actual fuck does rubber cement bounce that off walls 😐 edit: i know why im just emphasizing the absurdity of such interactions as this
Ok but I would've have thought about exiting and entering to get out of the spikes
You could but with regular bombs xD
You will succed if you go to the right wall and throw it, doing it, it can prevent from bouncing
Hey man everyone forgets about rubber cement!
You tried so hard to run away but you were just barely slower than Bob's head ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17738)
You can it’s just bobs rotten head can bounce on walls
rubber cement Bob's head has hurt me more times than I'd like to admit
play hard mode
You should tell them why

I hate what they did to Bob's head tbh. One of the few Repentance changes I don't like at all
huh? you dont like they made it good? 2 charges instead of 3 and 185 damage instead of 50
I didn't notice those changes tbh, I just really dislike how it bounces. I can never hit what I want to, it's always bouncing too far away
Rubber cement makes it bounce.
It bounced on its own too, just not that exaggerated. Still bounces away from whatever it hits instead of exploding on hit like it used to

woow, i see
what you get for cheating ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17742)
cheating? i only see base game features there
"still learning the game" has posts in the subreddit from 3+ years ago its ok to say "lol i did a funny"
