I spent far more time playing Spelunky than I ought to have done – it really is a touch of gaming gold.

If only it worked in OSX or Linux (I hear that Wine doesn’t quite manage to get it working)…
Hopefully once Game Maker Mac is out of beta, we’ll get an OSX port at least…

@Lobotomist

This is as close as you can get to saving and the like,

http://spelunky.wikia.com/wiki/Source_code
(read extracting source code, debug mode)

but everyone will call you a big cheaty pants, but you won’t care because you will have completed the game.

I watched the video before reading the post fully and said to myself “this art looks like Derek Yu’s style.” I’ve been a fan since Trigger Happy. :>

Oh, god. I morbidly hope its says “Didn’t have much iron” on Quinns gravestone.

They have Abuse on the Ipod, why not this?

I’d love a port for something like the Ipod.

Wat. How would you even play something like this on an Ipod?

I’m a bit rusty. When I tried to buy the Ankh in the black market, I threw it at the shopkeeper by mistake. That was quite a wakeup call.

i have no problems with permanent death. Its roguelike after all.

But fact that game doesnt save when you quit. Like other roguelikes, means you must be able to dedicate 30+ minutes , or else you will be playing starting levels all over again.

This makes this game poorly suited as coffe break game.

And thats a shame, cause other roguelikes fit that perfectly
