There are tunnels connecting the areas. If you assume that the tunnels are perpendicular to the plane we see as the playing field, it makes more sense how an area with a bottomless pit won't just leave you falling into the next area.

Bomb box, 30k already and 6 hp in mines. Dark level? Sure, even more money Suddenly 3 grandfather spiders. Great, it's a spider level too Dead Next run I have only 2 hp and shitty amount gold, but I got a jetpack. AGAIN DARK SPIDER LEVEL Fucking christ, what's the chance of that happening?

[QUOTE=Zeke129;41888845]By the way why is the area with the bottomless pits not actually the lowest How does that work[/QUOTE] Ignoring that it's videogames so shit don't need to make sense... I think the most simple explanation is simply that the different areas are not stacked on top of eachother, rather than just connected by the tunnels. The endless pit you fall down in is not on top of the temple area, but beside it.

Why the hell is the HP meter Robocop's head? :v:

why ISN'T your hp meter robocop's head?

Damn, my score has doubled downwards now, from spot 35 to 69, feels bad. To return in the 30s I need to score a million or more, which probably ain't happening. On another note, anyone have opinions about the transparent HUD mod? I think it's kind of cheating considering the default HUD makes the game slightly harder.

I just realised the actual purpose of the helping hand. Buy him, keep him alive up until 4-1. Kill Anubis, give the helping hand your item, pick up the scepter. Go to 4-2, open the City of Gold door, kill the helping hand, get your item back. There, you went to the City of Gold with a Plasma Cannon.

[del]I think I ran into a weird bug, I played with the keyboard for a while because I was too lazy to get my xbox controller, but after awhile of constantly dying I grab my controller and plug it in and everytime I press Y to throw a rope, the journal pops up.[/del] turns out i had xpadder still open from when i was playing earthworm jim :v:

>24HP >combos myself into getting an ufo back into my face with the boomerang, exploding me into a mine and that throws me on a yeti

[QUOTE=Rarara;41889790]On another note, anyone have opinions about the transparent HUD mod?

All they really need to go is make it semi-transparent when your moving and it'd work great.

[QUOTE=Ziks;41890668][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czQbrH4X9_k&feature=youtu.be[/media][/QUOTE] exactly how I died

Nothing is worse then a death you couldn't even try to get out of.

I bombed for that key and chest without angering the shopkeeper easy. I then raided the shop. I wont spoil anything else in case anyone hasn't done the daily challenge yet.

Spelunky's PS3+Vita release date. "8/27 through 9/2"

[QUOTE=Maruhai;41892050]Spelunky's PS3+Vita release date. "8/27 through 9/2"[/QUOTE] N That's "Launch week" the release is 8/27 during launch week it's slightly cheaper

I beat hell. I killed Yama. I destroyed every ruby block in his throne. (in the middle of the fight, I wasn't sure how to actually hurt him so I just dethroned him and then did some extremely accurate bomb placements while not taking fall damage) THEN I DIED TO A FUCKING REGULAR CHINESE ZOMBIE BEFORE GETTING TO THE EXIT DOOR

yeah earlier today BumCommando died to these jumping blue zombies while he was about to set the Hell Speedrun world record

Reasons why I try to kill the shopkeeper: 1. Full bomb box shop

[QUOTE=Maruhai;41893782]yeah earlier today BumCommando died to these jumping blue zombies while he was about to set the Hell Speedrun world record[/QUOTE] I had 20+ health and one of the blue guys got me stuck in the air hitting me repeatedly :( [editline]19th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Blueplastic;41894136]Reasons why I try to kill the shopkeeper: 1. Full bomb box shop[/QUOTE] 48 bombs and a shotgun for rest-of-game shopkeeper aggro? yeah sure

So, finally beat Olmec with no shortcuts... I should be happy about this, but this means it's time to go the next mile. Oh god I'm not prepared for this.

I managed to beat Olmec without shortcuts in like 7 hours of play, why do people find it hard ? Maybe I just played too much SMB3.

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;41894476]48 bombs and a shotgun for rest-of-game shopkeeper aggro? yeah sure[/QUOTE] I dunno man that sounds pretty good to me. You could probably kill a lot of those future shopkeepers with the bombs

[QUOTE=Loofiloo;41895196]I dunno man that sounds pretty good to me.

I made it to the City of Gold one one of my first playthroughs (lots of experience with the free version though) and was immediately crushed to death. Same old Spelunky. [editline]19th August 2013[/editline] Also the one thing this game is missing is a replay-sharing system. It would be pretty cool to see other people's plays without youtube.
