I hate this game so much and yet I love it. I can't stop playing it despite how utterly awful I am at it. I've been waiting for this thread.

The multiplayer is probably going to be tricky to show off properly, given that it's local only.

So, does your kill count in a level have any in-game effects? It doesn't seem to add to your currency/score at the end of a level, so if I see some spiders near the exit, is there any motivation to go after them, or should I just leave them alone?

There is an item you can get (the Kapala) that can make killing enemies worth it, but otherwise not really.

So through no fault of your own you can find yourself saddled with a ball and chain, just through bad luck with things exploding offscreen?

Kind of harsh.

Through no fault of your own you can just flat out die due to bad luck with things offscreen.

The only song I like from the new soundtrack is Olmec's theme and I can't really explain why. All the other songs are just kinda.....eh.

Monkeys stealing sticky bombs are the funniest thing ever.

"LAST THING YOU'RE EVER GONNA STEAL, DOUCHEBAG!"

And then they jump right back on you before it goes off and it immediately becomes not funny. Then funny again for a brief moment. Then depressing.

If the prize was any good I'd say bomb the back wall open and grab it but it's just a machete so eh.

Actually, does the prize wall open up if you blow up the back wall? If it didn't and you used the bomb correctly there's no way the shopkeeper could get to you.

While we're posting GIFs, sometimes the game does weird things. (I think this is a random glitch with the Pitcher's Mitt)

So you just put a bomb down next to a crate? :confused:

I have one issue:

Would a "no attack button" run end up that much differently than a pacifist one? I mean, to hardcore Spelunky fans sure, but I think it'd go fairly similarly to this one. I guess the only exception would be how lucky he got with bombs.

If you wanted items, you'd have to be clever about it (poo poo, I forgot, you couldn't buy things from shops either!), but he didn't get any special items in the run he just did either, so yeah the major thing would probably just be not being able to throw your bombs around.

Maybe he could combine it with this:

I still have to do a no items run though! In that one, I won't be allowed to even use my bombs and ropes. Might as well up the ante and say "no damsels" as well.

Or the game scrolls right to show needy children and your character throws the idol to them for charity.

But crushes them.

Gotta fill that Kapala.
