Spelunky 2

Multiplayer is currently being beta tested and is probably coming out on tuesday. It looks fucking awesome

Some of the cool interactions I've already seen is bringing two Qilins to the Sunken City on Twiggles stream. While there the other dudes Qilin died, but resurrected when Twiggle did the sun challenge because the necromancers in the back layers were doing their magic. It's interactions like these that make Spelunky as incredible as it is.

Is the final boss as much bullshit to reach as the original?

if by bullshit you mean fun, yes.

are the shopkeepers still as trigger happy as in the original?

the game is more balanced around not robbing them, whereas Spelunky 1 you pretty much had no reason not to. Spelunky 2 punishes you more for doing it.

I used to rob/kill shopkeepers pretty much 100% of the time in the original, I almost never do in this. Actually there's a forgiveness mechanic built into 2 where if you rob but don't kill them, and then don't do damage to them at all for a level you'll get forgiven. So you can rob.

I finally managed to get to Eggplant World without the seed. But even more fun, since I had the ankh I cursed myself before going there and got to go into the Ghist Shop. I got a clone gun, tried to clone Yama but didn't do anything.

I mean as in having to hope specific random events happen in addition to being much harder than the regular route.

How did he even bring qilin to sunken city?

Naturally it is harder because you're required to do things to get there, but the pieces are always there for you to get every run, the RNG nature of the game does mean that some runs aren't as fair as others.

In this you need to go to the Black Market like last time, where in this game you get the Hedjet, after that you need to get the Ankh which you get from defeating Olmec, after that you need to die to get to a secret area where you'll face off against another boss that gives you a tablet, this tablet reveals which Ushabti you need to take from a room in world 6, taking the right one will turn it into a flying mount that lets you fly up above the "final" boss and go into the secret area.

Yep, everyone got their own screen

Zoe Quinn killed Alec holowka, still not buying your shitty soulless sequel you shill

Awesome, thanks. Guess I'm buying the game.

I think it would be amazing if the Cosmic Ocean had City of Gold, Duat, Eggplant World variants.

I think it's unlikely that it'll ever be patched in, but man it would be awesome.

Duat is so cool, I hope they buff the elixir so I have a reason to go there

I was wrong, December 12th is the current date they hope to make the multiplayer available for all.

proof? unironically big if true
can finally get my friends to carry me past olmec

Some people have access to the beta, Twiggle, Xanagear, Hectique and some others have been playing it. There are still some issues but it's way better than it was on PS4. There's some issues with desynching, but mostly seems to happen if you're more than 2 people.

Also the date goal for the team is december 12th.

You know, Bananasaurus Rex did the first ever solo eggplant run with Yellow Girl, and because of that she got her own little reference in Spelunky 2's canon.
But Twiggle basically chose the worst character, lore-wise, to do the first ever 7-99 run: a borderline-non-canon easter egg version of another character. There's really no good way to tie that achievement to that character within the very serious Spelunky lore.

I don't know, I personally find it pretty fitting that the first to ever get to 7-99 is the original classic guy, he's technically the most experienced Spelunker of them all. But in terms of making it fit into the lore, yeah it's a tricky one. But then again he is officially part of the lore since he's the one that rescues you after defeating Hundun.

NEW ITEM IDEA: Backpack
It's just a normal backpack. Can store one non-back item. Must be worn to use storage (if unequipped, the item pops out).
Would it be game-breaking?

I'm sure the pros would get more use out of it than casuals would. I could see it being used to make getting Hou Yi's Bow, eggplants or clone gun to Sunken City easier with out having to rely on waddler or a hired help.
>Would it be game-breaking?
I doubt it, it might even go unused since the lack of mobility would prob be a turn off to most people. Maybe with jump shoes and climbing gloves it would be worth it but outside of that im sure more people would rather stick with the packs or capes.
