Playing it right now. It's as sadistic as the first 1.

i'm in despair and euphoria at the same time.

Does it have any procedural unlockables? I kind of lose interest in roguelikes if I'm not getting anything that stays between runs.

It's okay, I have no idea who I am either.

Apologies, I barely knew it was coming out at all, let alone that the PC version was later than the PS4 version

I damn near mastered Spelunky, and never really stopped playing it. I was frequently in the top 40 daily challenge players. Frankly, I forgot the game was considered very hard. I envied my friends playing it for the first time.

Now it's all coming back to me. It took me 4 years to beat Olmec, and now he diarrheas bombs at me?? I was nearly brought to a mental breakdown getting that far. Turns out I've just scratched the surface. Be careful what you ask for, kids

I stopped playing when my inner perfectionist decided that perfection for Spelunky was too hard... what with gathering all the treasure on the map to the bottom so it can be converted to diamonds by the Big Ghost. Yes, that's optional - but once I started doing it I, well, could ONLY do it and lost interest in the game.

It happens to me a lot, particularly with stuff like Pokemon (and especially Final Fantasy 13-2 which I can't even start because of this phenomenon)... once I get in the perfectionist mindset I can't break free and have fun again.

No, I've never spent more than a month playing daily, and I've taken years long breaks. Much of my time playing the game early on was super irregular. I got serious about it at about that time

like the OG spelunky you get better the more you let the game abuse you, also you gotta know to pick your fights with the stages

The jungle. I didn't realize the paths split off to jungle or Volcana. Afterwards I tried Volcana and breezed right through to Olmec's Lair and died

Nice progress! I only unlocked the first shortcut. And yeah the jungle is brutal, I'm sticking with Volcana all the way

They are pretty similar so I'd say it's fine to wait

Ok I'm getting slightly better at dealing with the BS in this game BUT the Snap Traps in Tide Pool can go to hell. There is a lot going on with the visuals in this area and the traps are ridiculously hard to see. I had tons of health and money before stepping on that nasty thing :(

Last shortcut unlocked. Last step is same as in the OG game where you have to bring the stupid key all the way down from the top, ha.

I also got to see the normal/no special requirements final boss, but didn't beat em or anything

Don't feel bad, I have died 131 times so far and an embarrassing amount of those deaths were in world 1, including 1-1. The furthest I've made it is 5-1. I enjoyed the first game, but I never actually beat it and I'm just gonna keep throwing myself at this game until I clear it.

I recommend changing the default speed from run to walk. Take things slow and analyze everything that's on the screen before moving onwards. Learn what all of the enemies and traps do and pick your routes and battles carefully. And generally you want to be carrying something all the time to set off arrow traps and sometimes attack enemies. Even when you're really careful, sometimes you just get Spelunky'd and get pinball combo'd to death from full HP, which sucks but it can be amusing at times

You need to play for 3 days to maybe get 10% better

It is very addicting. I can't play it before bedtime because I'll keep saying 'just one more run' then it's already 3am...

I finished the 2nd shortcut but the 3rd one is gonna be the death of me (and the death of these suicidal hired hands)

I've found that if you pick them up and then put them down somewhere waaaay out of the way sometimes they fall asleep and don't follow you through the level. I don't know the exact mechanics behind it, but it's the only way I was able to get it done. Also helps to know that the big fish at the bottom of 4-2 (chinese water level version) always drops a helper, and you can generally whip it to death in safe spot at the bottom right.

These are wonderful tips, thanks! I stayed way the hell away from that giant fish after I first saw it but I guess it's time to face it lol

Blood pressure hit the ceiling dealing with those hired hands. I had 32 bombs and literally couldn't bomb my way to the end of 4-4 before the hired hand woke up and immediately cannonball'd into spikes. Plus other super unlucky stuff like poison ticking my last health right before the final exit. But glad that part's over! Now for the golden key...

Also, Spelunky 2 is out for PC now!
