Also yes! You can sacrifice them too! (Or cook them for health) More than just the usual conclave of cantankerous, shotgun-toting shopkeepers that were such an iconic staple of the first game, players can expect to run into distressed turkey keepers (yes, you can ride turkeys in Spelunky 2) and enraged turban wearing warriors that will bludgeon your enemies to death with a random skull, to name just a couple. Players can now find themselves poisoned, a state of being which drains health from stage to the next, while the inclusion of newly engineered water physics provides ample mayhem to occur with deep watery caverns and, of course, lava flows and pools of acid.īeyond such additions, Spelunky 2 also boasts a far wider range of NPCs now too. Speaking of expansion, Spelunky 2 brings an absolute avalanche of worthy additions to the table, too.
There’s almost no end to how creative you can get in Spelunky 2’s almost peerless sandbox of nihilistic thrills and for that fact alone, Spelunky 2 feels like a true sequel that bountifully expands upon the premise of its predecessor.

See an arrow trigger trap but don’t know how to get it past it? Simple, just pick up the stunned body/corpse of a nearby a mole and fling it at the trap to set it off.
Though hilarious then, these sorts of interactions hint at a broader spectrum of creative possibilities that are available to the player. Spelunky 2’s new liquid physics leads to some… interestingly fiendish levels. In addition to fearsomely expanding its roster of villainous moon-based baddies and traps that would give Indiana Jones fits, where Spelunky 2 really excels is in how it blends the two into something of a twisted, living, breathing and often, dying world that presents something of a macabre playground for players to witness.īe ready to look on in a mixture of horror and giddy delight as moles burrow their way through the level only to impale their stupid mole faces on spikes, or when a caveman charges at you, but falls down the pit in front of them (because they’re cavemen) only to trigger a bunch of traps on the way down. So enemy and traps, right? That’s basically Spelunky just turned up to eleven? Not quite. From tiki-towers that throw retractable fists at you through to Egyptian block traps which can crush you against the ceiling or floor, Spelunky 2 has an alarming number of ways to see you to your end without ever having you come afoul of an enemy. Though the spike pits and arrow spitting traps from the original game make their ignominious return, they find themselves in equally fiendish company. Of course, this wouldn’t be Spelunky without traps and boy oh boy, developer Mossmouth has absolutely doubled down here. When you see this massive hedgehog looking dude, you run. Whether it’s the terrifying new mole with its sunken eyes and ‘spades for teeth’ that burrows its way through the level, only to spring up and out of the ground in a frenzy when you least expect it, or the horned lizards which come barrelling towards you like a yellow skinned Sonic the Hedgehog on krokodil, Spelunky 2’s new cast of fiends are certainly something to behold and develop strategies for in earnest. Perhaps nowhere is this sense of discovery and wonder better embodied than in the new denizens that you’ll encounter during your spelunking activities. Spelunky 2 then is painfully difficult – and certainly much more challenging than the first, but with that increased difficultly comes a renewed and endlessly rewarding sense of discovery. It’s at this point then (or a bit before, if you were never that good at the game in the first place), that Spelunky 2 pulls back its size 16 boot and swings it forward up into a vicious arc between your legs.

With increasing bravado and vigor, practised hands will find themselves bopping snakes on the head, dropping bombs to blast free gems and throwing up ropes like its 2013 again. Sure enough, Spelunky 2 doesn’t seek to alter the pixel-perfect platforming mandate and ultra-responsive controls of the first game, thus opening the door to muscle memory to take over for veteran players in lieu of actual experience with the game. Spelunky 2 has something of an endearing sense of humor, you could say.
