Spelunker HD

I don't know how to describe this game, any other way then it wants to kill you. I've literally not played a game this brutal since childhood. Everything will kill you. Its a platformer, if you basically do anything that would risk you spraining an ankle in this game it means death. Its freaking huge to. There's 100 solo levels and 100 coop levels. I'm currently on level 5 in solo and alredy the difficulty has ramped up insanely.

Apparently its a remake of a nes classic and you can even play in retro vision if you really want. It plays like a Nes game to, it runs perfectly though, encountered no glitches or anything like that. It does everything as it is intended. Is pretty satisfying when you slickly move through the levels i have to say though.

Is this on sale?

Or PS+?

Na i bought this for BD, i owed him a game

when psn gets back up i'll play this with you

Any clue when its back up?

This game is painfully hard. Hopefully its a lot easier in multiplayer because we can resurrect each other.

idk it's been under maintenance for over an hour now not sure when they started cause i was on this morning

i'm on now

Oh man i love this game way too much. It wants to piss me off but i just love it too much. I'm 25 levels into single player. The co-op is ten times harder and thats with a competent partner like BD, fuck knows how hard this would be with dumbasses. I think the furthest we got to was level 14 or something.

Basically it punishes you for basically anything that wouldn't be considered safe. I kind of think about it like if i sprained my nakle in a dark cave 100s of metres under the ground i'd probably die to so i don't think too much about it. On the plus side you always manage to progress and the levels really change the deeper you get which is a nice touch to. Area 3 (stage 21-30) seems to be the most fun yet. Gonna carry on playing this till i finish the single player.

Also Bob i think you'll love this.

This article sums up the greatness of the game:

Currently on level 53 i think.

Finished the solo. The game loops after you finish all one hundred stages and it seems to be slightly sped up and all the keys are invisible, making it a lot harder. Ghosts also come at you way faster.

this game makes me want to punch a baby

A good game will do that to you.

i beat the first 10 but i seriously can't play this solo because i find it boring some reason

When you played a game with me being awesome in it, it feels like a watered down experience in my absence.

shouldn't it be the other way around if you're awesome and i play with you?

I'm awesome, not necessarily awesome at the game.

i didn't expect this to get DLC
