Update: Pressing C on your keyboard with this mod enabled in online co-op seems to desync the game. When using this mod with your friends, just avoid that key like the plague I guess?

Seems to work fine in Rep+, even in co-op online! Just don't take eye of the occult, it basically made me lose half my dps due to it being bugged.

i have a problem cuz when Jacob and Esau walk away from eachother of close together they change dmg they have and it lags the hell out of my game, any help?

as a fan of the original jacob+esau (even the antibirth version), i have to say this mod is really well made. i don't enjoy using it, but i understand that this was not made for me. the biggest issue i honestly have with this is that they start with marked. it would be fine it it didn't give you the stat ups, but it does, giving you really good stats for the early floors.

also, the auto aiming makes a lot of enemies pretty weak against you, but i don't think you could have made it any other way, so i'll give it a pass.
блин это очень крутая переделка
особенно то что вы мотивируете держать их подальше друг от друга

Any news?

is this fixed in rep+?

Shame this isn't being updated. J&E suck to play as but have the best unlocks by far.

Hi there! I've been putting together modlist for accessibility (audio, visual, cognitive, motor) and the auto targeting system seems helpful for allowing players to play one-handed or with a blow straw. It could even appeal to people who enjoy gameplay like vampire survivors. Could I ask you to make this kind of mod but for all characters? I can offer sending something over PayPal, since this might be asking a lot. Thank you!

if anyone is looking for the file for whatever reason it is called "goodcobandbettersau" hope this helps

rgon update when?

I love this, jacob and esau are much more fun like this but there is the occasional item that doesnt work with them
Starrbomba 8 Jun, 2024 @ 10:54am 
Make them both Harder and easier at the same time, playing these guys effectively now feels alot more skillful and less BS to lug around esau
eepy 28 Apr, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
the best mod

I am suffering.

sounds like a very fun challenge mod, I'll try and get my last 2 checkmarks (delirium and greedier) with this.
Rodent Of Plague 30 Jan, 2024 @ 6:44pm 
update, going to alt path with this character is miserable, as in the mother chase scene you cant control them both at once, and its mostly hallways, so you may dodge with one character but get hit with the other, if that gets fixed 10/10 i like the way this mod makes my brain feel
xXkingzuzzsussyballz82godXx 28 Jan, 2024 @ 7:10am 
seems fun but is wayy too hard
Rodent Of Plague 25 Jan, 2024 @ 4:12am 
You my friend, have made my least favorite character to my favorite character, i was smiling all throughout my greedier run just now. Thank you so fucking much.

Do you still need the mod compatibility hack mod?
Theodore Masters Peterson 25 Aug, 2023 @ 5:49pm 
jacob and esau if they were good
Vensux 20 Jun, 2023 @ 7:16am 
for rooms like tnt or something activate mouse controll

This mod might actually makes it a bit more difficult to play J&E but I like it, it's a fun spin
XxcrossslashxX 25 Feb, 2023 @ 9:52am 
if either character picks up Spirit Sword they stop attacking

sad to see mod abandoned

Pretty awesome mod, lots of fun and fresh take on the characters. There's two major glitches I found though, Eye of Occult and D4. Eye of Occult breaking the ability to auto shoot, while d4 making runs themselves broken (in a fun way though lol).
A.J. Mixup 18 Dec, 2022 @ 5:53pm 
I think that the ability to change their keybindings would be nice
Maggy! 8 Oct, 2022 @ 12:12pm 
anyway this mod is fucking awsome
Maggy! 8 Oct, 2022 @ 12:05pm 
nevermind, tried ctrl, i was in the room full of tnt, did not go well lmao
Maggy! 8 Oct, 2022 @ 12:03pm 
there are some soft lock rooms....
Vesperatu 13 Aug, 2022 @ 9:36pm 
my brain cant comprehend using 2 different controls to play 2 different characters at the same time (its like playing a rhythm game with your dominant hand and non dominant hand at the same time but not 2 handed controls like d f j k) but it is great co op without a second controller
Somebody Obsolete 3 Jul, 2022 @ 2:20pm 
can you make it possible to switch WASD and Arrow Keys around? i get tripped up and move Esau instead of Jacob sometimes.

tf is the third image

This mod really requires a lot of brain power in order to use it effectively, but I can only imagine how easy runs are if you've mastered the controls
Zahara 16 Apr, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
Love this mod but be careful a lot of items either just dont work or will ruin your run. I picked up eye of the occult and it makes you unable to aim and you can only shoot when holding drop button. Just be careful about picking up things that change your tears in weird ways. Things like blue candle really don't work well.
Autumnis 23 Mar, 2022 @ 8:17pm 
I bet if I get the birthright I'm gonna instinctively dodge a tear that that brother can go through and dodge right into one that whichever one of them cant.
mastermind123321 20 Mar, 2022 @ 2:58am 
so this mod is ok~ ish i just dont like the poeple
Whiamy Aleeve 3 Mar, 2022 @ 7:38pm 
this is perfect with the fireboy (esau) and watergirl (jacob) reskin mod with esau (fb) being the arrow keys and jacob (wg) being wasd, just like the flash games
ArcyKomornik 1 Mar, 2022 @ 9:18am 
"Breaks horribly on AB+!" Ahh yes. I am surely playing Antibirth instead of playing Repentance
Esvansi 25 Feb, 2022 @ 2:26pm 
Finally, i get to play co-op with myself


cause no one wants to play this game with me :(
Alien_Halls 21 Feb, 2022 @ 3:13pm 
I can't play with 2 characters at same time, this is so hard.
Yolk 11 Feb, 2022 @ 1:55pm 
this mod just feels weird. i think im gonna uninstall
Gedeha 21 Jan, 2022 @ 8:12pm 
I love the idea so much but it simply doesn't work. the mod literally doesn't change anything, I tried to uninstall all other unecessary mods, re-start, re-install... doesn't work. I really wish i knew what i am doing wrong...

Doing what Edmund should have done from the start
Trazhire 18 Dec, 2021 @ 10:33pm 
my only complain is in the knife search route, it is very tuff to properly throw bombs and shooting tnt, besides that, it is a very cool mod
Sunny-Dew 14 Dec, 2021 @ 4:01pm 
Oh, gosh, I almost forgot. There's also a struggle I've had with using bombs from bomb dispensers. When they pick up the bomb they'll throw it automatically in the direction they're firing if they lock onto an enemy and if I use the aim mode they'll throw it instantly in the direction the crosshair appears from. So aside from it being tricky, Esau will always throw bombs towards Jacob. I know that's not something you can directly affect much but it's worth noting that since it makes some bosses and rooms very tricky.
Sunny-Dew 14 Dec, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
I actually really enjoy this mod so far. It was really tough to get a feel for moving them together but it kind of grows on you. Not easy by any means, in fact it's ludicrously difficult so far but the more I play and the more familiar it is then the more I feel like it's actually very strong. The only issue I've had so far is that when using the right trigger (I'm on controller so it's probably right mouse or something) to stop and aim it always forces me to drop my items. Usually with Jacob and Esau, as well as with the forgotten, pressing the trigger (or whatever) one time doesn't drop your items or change your equipment if you have multiple cards or the D-Infinity. You have to press it twice in a row to do that to avoid this issue. Is there a way you could adjust this so that I can reliably use the aim mode without having to drop my trinkets and stuff?

Otherwise, genuinely very fun and creative mod that reinvents one of the more frustrating characters in the game.

The menu doesn't show up, is there an issue on my part or is it something broken by latest patches?
