Does anyone know how to see your own score/placement on the daily? Seems like a pretty glaring omission

Unless you can't bring bodies in/out of sub-levels?

You can’t, sadly.

I listened to the podcast with Derek Yu yesterday. Here are some interesting bits that I remember from it:

•The first area is called "dwelling", not mines/caves/etc

•The ghost jar was originally put in to help speed runners so they wouldn't have to wait for the timer

•The AI on the hired hand has been immensely improved. They spawn from the coffins of characters that you've already unlocked because he wanted to keep the possibility of those coffins spawning in a level. Has something to do with the hardcores resetting their Spelunky saves.

•The 2nd layer idea came from the programmer of Spelunky HD (Andy something). When Derek first called him he just gave him that one idea and they ran with it.

•The "damsels" are now "pets" because it would be weird for the young kid to be saving damsels and hunks. And the dog had sort of become a mascot for the game.

The damsel in distress trope is also just sexist and dated
