We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Nice - the icon text looks a similar size to Spelunky 1's, just on the bottom.I was gonna Spelunk2nite but I guess Crash won out for my impromptu stream.
(And don't think we don't see that 13 Sentinels - or is that just preloaded?)
For those playing (or watching videos) I have noticed something... interesting about the RNG level builder.
So it seems like there are many times I observed the player fall down to a place they can't get back out of without double-jumping via mount? Not ALL the time, but I've seen it happen several times now and I can't think of what the player could have done to avoid it - seems like ropes are more important than ever now? https://i.imgur.com/UsW5Fpv.jpg
I see it on UK PSN and £15.99 is a good price. But I will wait for the Steam version in 2 weeks. I hope everyone has a good time in the meanwhile.
Can't wait to dive into this later in the week. As much as I loved playing the original, I got just as much enjoyment watching streams of the game. Really hoping Chris Remo finds time to do a few runs in this, as his daily runs of the first game were easily my favorite to watch.
I hope Derek is wrong about it coming out tomorrow morning in the US. The Europe midnight release got my hype levels up way too high.
Derek Yu said 8am PST on Twitter but with EU already out I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
I actually switched to auto run on Spelunky HD recently after hours and hours of holding right trigger/bumper, and it literally only took a single run before I was completely used to it and had it locked in muscle memory. There's like no situation that requires you not to run so it makes sense that's the default here.

Is your theme... Corn?
Corn Love Forever, my friend.
Corn Love Forever Theme
Back by popular demand, “Corn Love Forever” is the one theme that asks all the big questions, all at the same time, with a unified, indiscernible, “MAAAAA” sound. Although often referred to as a “summertime theme”, Project CL2 is being released controversially in the winter. We apologize and thank

I respect your love and commitment to the harvest king.

Did about 10-15 runs, having a hard time getting passed 1-3. I'm pretty much trying to pick up money on the way to the exit, is this how to play?
I didn't play much Spelunky, but I can already see progress. I died a few times on 1-1. Then I started getting to 1-2 every time. Now I'm making it to 1-3 almost every time.

This is GREAT. Pretty much never picked it up because it killed me more than it helped me.
It's not necessary to pick up every piece of gold if you think its to risky just move on.
Sort of. You don't need money per se, but it helps because you can spend it in shops to acquire (if nothing else) extra bombs and ropes. In daily runs (at least in the first game) money = your score, so if you want to do better than your friends, both progress and your score do that. It's actually good to try and collect money when you can, I believe, because scavenging for resources and learning when you can safely get something like a ruby or a diamond vs. avoiding a trouble spot and knowing these things on the fly is part of the skill ceiling.
Did you boop away from a wall you are hanging from when you melee'd in the first one? Is this new tech?
Also this feels way harder than the first, which I am into - levels feel larger and just more packed, and it feels like you need to put some work in finding a path through rather than a fairly clear line (in world 1 at least).

Thanks, its been fun. Learning that i can throw a rock to trigger traps saved me a few times. The fact that nothing carries over, run to run, is both good and bad. I'm enjoying it.
Holding onto the little animals or a doggie saved you from arrow traps in the first one, might be the case in the second one as well if there are still arrow traps.
Glad to see another corn lover ITT. Love this theme.I was gonna Spelunk2nite but I guess Crash won out for my impromptu stream.
There are now "Ghost Jars" which contain a diamond but summon the ghost immediately when one breaks. Easy tip: Carry the jar closer to the exit.
Also the ghost splits into two smaller, faster ghosts. One of which will try to head you off a little.

Can confirm this is still the case.

The #1 spelunky tip I'd give people in general is to always be carrying something. Rock, pot, dead enemy, etc. are pretty much always useful to trigger things, and you can carry it from one level to the next.
The pug, cat and hamster will give you 1 extra health if you take them to the exit. They just need to be alive and touch it. You can also take carryable treasure into the exit too. (The golden idol head thing)
The turkeys and other creatures are new and once you tame them by sitting on them for a bit you can ride them around and use their abilities.
(Turkey has a double jump and you can hold the button to slow fall which will let you land in spikes safely)

Holy sh-
Also I know stuff like this is totally inconsequential and we would have figured it out eventually, but are we having any spoiler rules ITT? Would personally prefer to figure this stuff out on my own.

shhhh let people find this for themselves (it's one of my favorite things to have co-op friends learn the hard way). I also really appreciate it as a new, frequently encountered asset to potentially juggle on your way to each exit.
Watching Scoops play and I'm loving what I'm seeing. His joy at learning all the new stuff is awesome. And I love all the new touches they gave the game.
At first I thought they lowered the ghost appearance to like a minute and so did he. It took a few lives before we both at the same time realized that there are pots with diamonds in them and a ghost face that immediately summon the ghost. That was a good Eureka moment.
Sorry, sorry. Edited and I'll spoiler-mark the new stuff.
No problemo. I'm assuming unchanged (or QoL changed like the climbing gloves) returning stuff is fair game so most general Splelunking tips should be fine.
People are playing Spelunky 2. Spelunky 2 isn't even showing up on the Playstation store for me. This makes me upset.
