[QUOTE=Loofiloo;41850931]To me it doesn't matter if modded characters are game-breaking in a singleplayer game.
I know there's the online scoreboard to consider, but I think the fact that the game is on PC now, and openly moddable, immediately guarantees that many of the top scores are illegitimate. I wouldn't be surprised if this is already the case.[/QUOTE]
Actually all the leaderboard scores are legitimate.

And the mattock having a different number of uses.
Any ideas? I'm trying to edit alltiles.png, but it keeps doing THIS

HO GOD
I'm not sure what's more impressive: How badly you broke the game or how much progress you made with it looking like that :v:
Was the HUD mini versions of the main screen
So I've been putzing around in the temple more now that I got the shortcut, first time I decided to scrap with Anubis I had to do it with no sticky bombs or weapons, so I had to set a bomb down, let it cook, and then pick it up and throw it at his stupid dog face.
This worked the second time, but when he died the explosion sent the scepter hurtling my way, knocking me senseless for a moment, it felt like the game resented me for killing Anubis that way: "Fine, take the scepter, faggot." [B]*WHANG*[/B]
third time I fought him I got fancy and lured a thwomp to kill him, didn't get the scepter that way though, and then olmec squished me as he was moving UP, learned a harsh lesson with that run: Just stay the hell away from his big fat golden ass.
Who was it that mentioned they randomly threw a bomb into the water at the bottom of a rushing water stage and unlocked the viking?
Guess what I just did by accident

No
You can set the damsel to man-mode or pug-mode.
I always use the pug :v:
[QUOTE=Mbbird;41856458]hahaha what

Freeware Spelunky had only the female damsels.
The newer one lets you choose between the pug, man, or woman.
Ninja'd
if anyone doesn't use the pug they should just stop playing right now and change it to the pug
God, I think I'm just going to stop picking up the scepter if I have a shotgun. It's way too fast and unpredictable. Probably like 2/3 of the times that I pick it up, it ends up killing me.
But I have to say, I'm glad the game wasn't made easier for the HD release. That seems like a pretty common thing, that an indie game will dumb things down for the retail version. I have to give Spelunky points for just adding more hazards, more enemies, more hard levels, and making a lot of the existing items harder to use. I predict even more replay value than I got from the original, and I have like 600+ deaths in that version.

Now if only it didn't autograb onto edges.
I have taken damage and died way too many times because of that stupid mechanic.

Autograb
Removal of classic tunes
Boulder trap now causes way too much collateral damage for the meager 5k you earn for nabbing the idol.
Fix these 3 things and it'll be perfect.

Well at least the music issue can be easily addressed, I got La Mulana tracks for myself, just like what I did for the freeware version.

I think I'll adjust to the auto-grab eventually, but the boulder trap is really broken.
Holy fuck I finally did it.

Woo, first time beating olmec, and on the same run that I got the key.

I did it on purpose and also unlocked it :v:
After attempting the temple again and again, and I think I've come to a single word conclusion of what I think of this place:
[B][I]FUCK[/I][/B]
Just realized that the camera completely lits the whole room on dark levels for about a split second every time it's used. Definitely made that level one hell of a lot easier :v:

A guide on how to beat the temple:
Bring bombs
Use bombs on anything that moves unless you got spike shoes
Don't risk running past those crushing blocks, just blow them up
If a path looks scary make your own (with bombs)
Did I mention bombs?

I've been impatient and reckless so I use the shortcut straight to the temple, you can imagine how fun it is when shit like this
[thumb]http://i.imgur.com/fOnzT1I.jpg[/thumb]
Greets me when I start out. I really should at least start at the ice caves for some more gear but...
Going to temple with no items just doesn't work.
It wont even let you practice because there is no way to get through unless the level layout is extremely in your favour.
after 160 plays i finally managed to beat olmec. feels good.
the shotgun + jetpack combo really makes everything easier

You can actually get past the "thwomps" fairly easily without bombs if they aren't in bad spots.
I used to think that just touching them would kill you, but you can touch them all you want.

Yeah but there is always the risk of getting smashed anyway because something unpredicted happened.
It's worth a bomb if there is a risk of dying. Of course, if it's in an extremely easy to dodge position then using a bomb is wasted (have to jump down a gap, crush block on one side with large amounts of space before wall on other side, fall down no problem)
Do you think it's possible to use the Steam API to make a website that uploads your Spelunky Leaderboards online ?
[QUOTE=Maruhai;41861432]Do you think it's possible to use the Steam API to make a website that uploads your Spelunky Leaderboards online ?[/QUOTE]
Spelunky probably uses its own thing.
Yeah that's what I thought as well.
