Tastes Like Spelunky and Source

[Bizarro]

This mod is seriously better than the original game, both for noobs and pros.
1)   The theme of food fits the game’s sense of humor better than bland gold.
2)   If the original Spelunky is like Fallout 3, TLS is like Fallout: New Vegas.
3)   Inventory management is streamlined. In the original you can become the beast by the end of the game, with all the top upgrades available. It can be hard to keep track of which powerups you currently have or don’t have. The 3 slots of TLS make the game simpler for newcomers and more limiting and thus challenging for veterans.
4)   Item combos are a fantastic addition. After about a thousand deaths in Spelunky, my discoveries were limited to emergent properties of the gameplay. I could not discover anything intentional anymore. Newcomers to TLS can slowly discover item combos, ‘doled out’ by accidental availability of items. Item combos add a ton of depth to the game without negatively affecting the newcomer.
5)   “Juggling” which was very tempting in the original is very limited here, due to the points above. You might still want to juggle a key, a damsel, and an idol, but juggling weapons and items like teleport no longer makes sense. Whew!
6)   People experienced in the original Spelunky are likely to rush to the TLS version of the city of gold. They will pick up I-Bone Steak disproportionately, missing out on many combos that require a different passive slot.
7)   Unfortunately I’m too burnt out by the original Spelunky to fully enjoy TLS.
I hope Derek Yu can either rewrite this mod into the XBLA port, or somehow make it possible to mod the XBLA version. Not because I’ll ever play it (I have no xbox) but because the game would get better reviews and more attention.

You can use all of it if you want. I don't own the rights to Kirby 64.

Guys, I saw a epic bug : With this one, I got 400 kill, 99 ropes and more that 1 000 000 Cals in TLS.
1) Ate a lamp.
2) Ate a web-cannon.
3) Kill the alien boss with fireballs.

-> The alien boss is die(loot icecreams and ropes) and... He resurrects and die extremely quickly... and many times! -> With this use bug, you can have any Cals, rope and kills as you want.

I don't know if you know this bug, but I report here.

The Alien Boss is dropping vines when killed with fireballs? Yep, that's a bug all right!

Instead of gems you could have made ice cream cones with different-coloured scoops: white vanilla, pink strawberry, yellow caramel, and brown chocolate (the equivalent of diamond!)

They're not gems, they are meatballs with different sauces.
