Well there's no way for me to have known that since there's no online multiplayer.
What am I expected to do, have people crowd my computer monitor?

I don't care if you can play local co op or not, I was simply stating a fact.
Fuck yes! I am fucking terrible at this game, but at fucking last I at least managed to unlock meatboy
Meat boy looks so weird in Spelunky HD's art style.
Mainly because he's got chiseled abs and a body.
Oh and let's not forget his [I]banana hammock[/I]
I think he looks better in Spelunky than he does in Isaac though.

I still cannot make it through the worm level. It's probably because everytime I have the opportunity, I barely have enough health or resources.
All my attempts to go through the worm with the cape and jetpack failed, and believe me... I've tried plenty. This time I went down with nothing but a compass and just tried to pay more attention to my surrounding rather than just trying to get past all the enemies quick, and I ended up finding the room with just 1hp left :v:

I usually wind up taking a faceplant onto those fucking spike pits. Really with the exception of getting meat boy, going to the worm is not worth it.

The worm is easy :v:
even going through with 4 hp, 4 bombs and 4 ropes, with the exception of those little worm-ish things I don't see how you could fail

It's because he is less of a meat boy and more of a meat man.
Looks kind of grotesque.

Worms and bats in particular
I hate crawling skin and tiki villages so much. They've ruined so many of my Speedlunky attempts.
My most recent one was a 3-minute dash to 4-3, all I had was a cape. Dark level, surrounded by tomb lords. So fucking close and then this bullshit happens.

with tiki villages i find it helps if you just find a ledge to hang onto and repeatedly drop down on one of the tiki men. then once you get his boomerang it's just a matter of lining up the cavemen and hammering X.

If I can't get to the exit in under 30 seconds it's taking too long. Tiki villages always take at least 50 seconds, precious time that is being eroded away.
I don't want to deal with tiki village bullshit, just let me go fast.

You can whip boomerangs mid air.
It is possible to just rush through a tikiman village with some good whips and then not running headfirst into the pain train.

so i got caught in front of this mammoth, who couldn't move forward because he was stuck on a Worm ulcer thing. he kept freezing me but adamantly refused to step forward and shatter the block of ice i was trapped in, keeping us both helpless and in suspended animation. i wasn't able to kill him, and he wasn't able to kill me.
i think i just got mentally tortured by a wooly mammoth.

Pick up the bomb and throw it so it only explodes 1 block in mid air.
Alteratively you could have done like in my screenshot and not fuck up your 1st bomb.
i think that's why i love spelunky so much and why it's so good: the stories that stem from it. That's why i think it's more like a roguelike than a lot of these randomly generated platformers that claim to be one

shameless title self-plugging time.
[sp]i really need to revise it though, it was sort of an angry rough draft i never fixed up[/sp]
nobody cares what is and isn't a roguelike because the entire term falls upon one big asshole dingleberry cluster of semantics
if you have to say "technically speaking" on either side when discussing whether a game is or is not in the roguelike genre, it's immediately not worth discussing because someone somewhere disagrees with you and is very very adamant about it for some reason
Postman is like the Captain Planet of roguelikes. Except you only need one word to summon him instead of five.
Though I find this happening to me pretty often too.

I usually see the both of you guys in "R word" threads.
My point still stands about this game generating stories worth retelling though.

Spelunky is a roguelikelike
Found jetpack and compass on 1-1. Boulder destroyed altar on 1-4 and died in the ensuing rain of spiders.
I had no idea the jetpack explodes when you're crushed. That could be [del]hilarious[/del] catastrophic in co-op
It's a shame that progress doesn't factor into the daily score. I got the ankh and made it to 3-1 but ended up with very little money.
