The Shopkeeper run was awe inspiring

My favorite challenge is the naked pacifist.

map the game so you only have a jump button. and get 0 kills

Good luck

 


As a member of the Ladders for the preservation of Spelunker rights, I would like to protest this threads abusive slander of the Spelunker. We have never seen any of these so called abuses you claim and we exist all over this fine cave of ours. No one but our dear Spelunker ever thinks to utilize our convenient mode of vertical transport leaving us feeling unused and unloved. Please cease this slander immediately.

*note to self don't mention the 30+ Yetis that died at my hands to be sacrificed on the alter to get my 99 bombs and Kapula*

 

Yeah the vast amount of time came from running a bunch of yetis to the alter after having gotten the hedjet, and then of course blowing u most of the City of Gold.
I wish I had known how close I was to the kills achievement, I could have killed a couple of critters at the final level pretty easy, I had milked a yeti body and had built u a lot of life.

So after 2000+ deaths and countless hours of frustration, I've FINALLY completed my first City of Gold Run. This game has absolutely sucked me in and the challenge of the City of Gold was too much to resist.

Have you tried running... oh, I don't know, the config program?

-_-

Translated from smart ass that means try running the config.exe file that came with the install and click on key config in the bottom left corner

Have you run through the key config in the spelunky config? Even rewriting it by reassigning may overwrite some random blank field.

but I'd be a good dictator

I'm pretty sure that Derek has indicated he doesn't want to do decreased difficulties. Frankly I'm of the same mind. I like that accomplishing anything in the game takes work, but then maybe thats just me.

I like the idea of having an endless mode as well. Not that I win so often that I NEED endless, but I would be fun to have an online board with an endless ranking as how far down people get

Course you could do what some of the later games have done and have sub achievements IN the game and with so many of the achievements unlocked you unlock a regular achievement

I almost ALWAYS rob the black market, unless I'm so rolling in the dough I can buy everything I need. Ultimately its pretty easy, hunt for a guy with a shotgun, or just toss a bomb last second into a shopkeepers face (hint it's even funnier when its a sticky bomb) then just take your time clear out the top two levels of shopkeepers and then bomb down from the ankh store to the exit.

I think the jetpack made me lol the most

Odd, because I've twice now hit a gold laden brick and gotten money from it. Course it's possible I'm picking up a gem above it, but it is playing the gold collect sound not the gem collect sound. I will try to replicate.
