Spelunky Catch-all (Spelunky HD now on Steam!)

If I can triple-dip you can too!

I'll be picking this up shortly, never gave the freeware version the time it deserved. That was partly because I hated the keyboard controls, so I'm looking forward to playing with my Logitech F710 (pretty good wireless controller btw).
Probably will be buying on Steam for the Daily challenges, seems like a great reason to play a little every day. And as bonus I'll be able to see how much I suck compared to all my Steam friends!

Classic Spelunky has gamepad support, and works great with an Xbox 360 controller. Might be Logitech specific issues.

Yeah the original had better gamepad support than the new version, at least for those of us with non-xbox controllers.

Say wha'?! How the f*ck did I miss that?! And I tried and tried to play with the keyboard... what an idiot. Oh well, I can just as well buy the new one now.

Ahhh!

Bought this on Steam, doesn't support 1920x1200 and crashes when I select 1920x1080...

I now don't care about this.

Really? I brought it too, and assumed it supported 1920X1200.

:(

Doesn't show up in resolution list. Highest I saw was 1920x1080

EDIT: Apparently:

You can set the resolution size by editing "Spelunky/Data/config.txt".

I haven't tested this, so nfi if it actually works.

Yip, works fine.

Cheers!

Oh good, then I'll give that a go.

According to RPS, they've patched the game with a better display options menu among other quality of life tweaks.

Intro-screen quick start? Stop finding ways to feed my addiction, my free time can't take it any more.

So this was embarrassing...

Kali gave me a pair of climbing gloves for the sacrifice, so it wasn't all bad.

Mantraps can still eat you even if you hit them with the freeze ray?! This game!

Just beat Splunky Classic (424 deaths)! I'm a bit behind the times. Spelunky HD is now top of my wishlist, by the time its on sale I'll be jonesing hard I'm sure.

Yeah, that god they did. Releasing what they did was an embarrassment.

The Quick Start button is a god send as well...

Here are a couple more ignoble deaths...

Death by gravity

This one was on a daily challenge

Hah! That's unfortunate.

After 941 plays I finally beat Hell and I managed to place in the top 500 scores on XBLA. I somehow managed to do it without the Cappala either. I find that robbing the black-market really improved my chances. I mostly did it because I couldn't afford a jetpack there, then had a psychic presence level in the ice-caves and found another jetpack during the Olmec fight. It really helped to have a shotgun after the city of gold from the angry shopkeeper.

I have found Mantraps to be a little buggy. I was 'killed' by one that I thought I cleared safely only to see my body land safely away from the plant that was digesting. The death screen still said I was eaten alive.

This is finally out on PSN. I died alot last night and this morning. More news to follow soon.

Yeah, I got my ass handed to me on the Vita repeatedly, and enjoyed every second of it.

Sorry dude, my bad.

I will never beat this game.

And I don't care.

Crazy run in the daily challenge tonight. I had no idea there was a haunted castle. Cracked 100k as well.

I broke $1,000,000 this weekend. Left another $200k on the table by dying at Yanmas throne. I got combo-ed to death by a sneaky vampire. Would anyone else be interested in chipping in to force the hosts to play Spelunky as part of the donation drive? I'd throw in $50 towards that cause.

EDIT: Double post for emphasis I guess.

Wow, awesome job! I still haven't managed to make it to hell, though I've gotten pretty close.

It might be hard to get the hosts all together in the same room to play Spelunky since it doesn't have online play. That is definitely my biggest complaint with the HD release.

I just hate that I will probably never be able to do this...

I understand that they won't be able to play it together. I think it would be fun to hear about the shared trials of the daily runs, plus it's fun to make Julian play hard games. The couch co-op too is really fun but I think that's way harder than solo. I'm aiming to quit this game after I get in the top 50 on the XBLA leaderboards. I was at 67 with my best run. Had I defeated Yanma it would have been in the top 30.

I need more friends! My daily leaderboards are almost empty. Feel free to add me if you're on Steam.

I still play on XBLA. Broke my own record last night, beat Hell and finished with 1.08 million and a ball and chain attached to me. Finished 55th on the XBLA leaderboard, so close to my goal. The end game cut-scene is pretty funny with the ball and chain though.

I wish we could add notes to our score on the daily leaderboard. For today, mine would read: "F*ck."
