Stumbling through Spelunky again!

[davidn]

It's a Stumbling Through sequel! This time, to show how much better I've got at the game (ahem) since the first attempt, I set myself the challenge of getting all the way through the mines and jungle into the game's third stratum. And... well, I made it. Eventually.

I didn't realise the female characters also rescued other damsels... does this mean that Spelunky is the first non-porn-based game in history to show on-screen lesbian kissing?

Something about this remade version somehow... doesn't have the same charm as the original, to me. Maybe it's a graphical thing; as simple as the old graphics were, they felt like a NES-era platformer, or maybe something like Cave Story, whereas this feels very like a Flash game on Newgrounds, the way everything bobs and floats slightly when it moves. For something so cartoony, though, that ghost is horrifying!

Good luck on your further Spelunking!

Maybe it is - it's progressive like that :)

I never got around to playing the original at the time and actually hadn't realized that this game was a remake at first - after that, looking at the original game was strangely like looking at a game that had been released twenty years ago and its modern update, rather than two very recently-released games, the earlier of which just chose to be low-fidelity.

Next objective will be trying to do all three of the first levels with an additional handicap set by the game, which should be a barrel of laughs.
