Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a multiworld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Bad RNG Protection

By enabling this, successfully winning a run unlocks all the room location checks per stage which didn't spawn on all the stages you went through during that run. That means, even if a Mini Boss room didn't spawn in the Flooded Caves, you'll still get the unlock if you have been to the Flooded Caves during that run upon finishing the run successfully. (Room Types that can be checked this way: Miniboss, Arcade, Challenge Room, Curse Room and Sacrifice Room)
