Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Throw your lady into arrow traps, sacrifice her at an altar. Y'know, show her a good time.

A bunch of us are playing Spelunky! This is a freeware PC game that recently made the jump to the Live Arcade, so if you've got a 360 give it a shot!

If you're unsure, how about this funny quick look so you can see what this game is all about and also get some laffs



So, arrow traps, right? Fuckin'... arrows. And spiders! Have you guys ran across those rooms that only have spiders? Lots and lots of spiders. It's crazy! Apparently there's like a secret graveyard, and a black market too! I have no idea how to get to them.

SPELUNKY

    I'm gonna repeat what I said on Twitter

    This game is basically an abusive relationship in video game form. It keeps hurting you but you always come back.

    I played so much of this on PC, never managed to beat it even once though.

    Protip: do not fuck with the shopkeeps without a very good plan.

    Oh man, I spent about a month last year playing this game and just getting more and more discouraged. I practically hated myself by the end of it.

    hmmm...

    Man, if only this was out on PC. And with internet multiplayer.

    The quick look made me go back and play the PC version again for these last few days. So many hilarious deaths, like the time I planned an escape route, took an idol in the mines and dodged a boulder only to have it bounce off the edge of the map wall and crush me not a second later

    Okay

    For those who want to know how to be the best at this (also how to get to the black market)

  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    Other fun things to do:

    Sacrifice mad corpses to the altars. You will get sweet loot, including a regenerating skull chalice of blood and 99 bombs.

    Kill shopkeepers. They are always packing a shotgun. This is a really tough thing to do and I am not revealing my tricks to it. You need something pretty powerful to put them down, let's just say that. But at the end of the day, free shotgun. And free everything else they had. And now there is a hit squad chasing you.

    I find it funny that the video in the OP is called "quick look" but it's an hour long.

    ayuck ayuck

    no but really they're all usually that long. dudes actually take you through and show off what the game is about, while being incredibly entertaining about it. hard to do that effectively in 10 minutes or whatever

    I should see if Derek ever added more stuff to the PC version of years ago. And it has been literally two years since I've seen him start working on the XBLA version. Guess the dude gets incredibly busy.

    "All" is a good alternative though. One level you get dog kisses and the next you get sexy kisses awwwwright

    This game fucking hates me though, fucking boulder traps pissing off shopkeepers everyday

    I remember introducing a friend to this and he completed it before me despite the fact I had a big head start. Not so hot at platformers!

    I should really try it again and cross my fingers that the prettificated Xbox version eventually migrates to PC (fat chance)

    Eyeing this and I think I’ll get it tonight after I have too many beers and start making poor financial decisions.

    Been looking for a new game that kicks me in the nuts since I can’t get any more medals in Trials. Hopefully this does the trick.
