Previous stable version: http://www.derekyu.com/games/spelunky_0_97_1.rar

- Spectacles: Shows you where gems are hidden in the ground
- Cape: Press Jump in the air to float down
- Compass: Shows you where the exit is. Look for the red arrow on the edge of the screen.

"You can carry dames towards the exit for an extra health bonus"

Sounds like my kind of guy.

EXTRA HEALTH SIR? It's like GTA hookers all over again...

SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE TO TAKE BACK YOUR 50 DOLLARS

Hey! It's Rick Dangerous :)

...well, maybe his long lost cousin or something...

This game is terrible.

Terribly addicting!

DANGEROUSLY CHEESY...

Rick Dangerous rip.

To be honest I expected more from Derek.

....or more like Spelunker remake....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelunker_(video_game)

Absolutely love the game. Can't resist killing the shopkeepers and stealing the items :D

Uhh.. I also think he's spoofing the game Spelunker that was for the NES. Well at least the title.

This game... is actually pretty amazing. I like it a lot.

As for people who compare this to Spelunker on the NES, yes the title seems like a spoof, and it is one of this game's inspirations, the gameplay is pretty radically different.

Haha, I had a great moment where I accidentally blew up part of a shop (selling Special Items!). The shopkeeper went berserk, and ended up falling off a ledge and leaving me with all his wares. I got the jetpack, the spectacles, climbing gloves and a compass all for free! Really enjoying this game.

Where is this "Tunnel Man", by the way? I finally got to the first Jungle level and died, and would love to be able to go right back there.

Nevermind, found Tunnel Man. He built me a shortcut tunnel, but where do I find this tunnel?

The graphics don't display properly - the intro screens flash on for a second then fade to black.

I managed to enter the game, and now can actually see somthing, but the shadows appear on top of other characters and objects making making play impossible.

Interestingly when I push ESC to pause, the graphics appear correctly. Just not when trying to actually, you know, play the dam thing.

Edit: I tried fullscreen and windowed mode, changing the colour resolution on my comp and turning on/off 'High Detail' in the game options but still no dice.

Really dissapointed, I was actually always hoping for a 2d roguelike-inspired game.

awesome pixel art. great!

Go Derek!

Oh, found the tunnel. It didn't appear when he first said "Tunnel coming up", but it did on the second go. Bug? Who knows.

ASDF: It sounds like a video card problem. Try updating your drivers or using your integrated video card or something. I can't really say more without knowing your specific system config, but it seems like your computer can't display GM's surfaces correctly.

Sometimes running Fraps can correct game maker surfaces problems. That, or a clean reboot before playing.

I've got a Nvidia Geforce 8400M G and updated drivers etc but no luck... however I read through 23 pages of the forum post and found the answer..

Restart the computer!

I should have known! (pictures the guy from IT Crowd saying: "have you tried turning it off and on again?")

Has anyone got this to work in Wine? I wanna play!

Hail to the king!!!!

This is an incredible piece of art. It's very addicting and fun!

One of the best indie that i've played in my whole life!

Very good job

nice game, but there something that could be improved, like the arrow trap in the first dungeon, why it take 2 lifes? its kinda of retarded cause some times you find yourself in a very tinny room and you know that you gonna get hit cause even if the arrow misses you, he hit the wall and still take life of you. Also i think that should have some powerups that you stay after you die, could be a very hard chest to open in a cenario (like 3 keys) or a boss that give you at first some crap item, like compass, and stay geting better wen you get at highter levels, could have a storage room in the main cenario for the weapons.
other than that, its a exelent game

Is there a Mac version?

Can anyone upload it somewhere? I have problems downloading it, getting a CRC error on all versions O_o

This game is maddeningly, mouth-frothingly frustrating... and yet I keep coming back to it, again and again.

The controls are an exercise in irritation. They're not at all intuitive and there are simply too many buttons. When you want to do something, something else will happen.

An interesting concept executed poorly. Par for the course.

That game looks amazing, going to download right now

this game is such an incredible time-waster. i've sunk about sixteen hours into it.

@ anonymous complaining about the controls. there's less controls than the snes controller, and they're fully customisable, or at least in the last stable version.

What is it with buying stuff from the shop? Pressing "p" doesn't seem to do anything for me. Does it mean I haven't enough money? Where can I see the cost of the various items?

You first have to pick up the item. You will then see its price and can decide to buy it by pressing "p". If you don't, just set it down again. You got to be really careful, though, the shopkeeper isn't one to mess with and he has definitely never heard of mercy :D

Please add direct download link to post,'cause i banned on this forum( but i see this first)

Man, I love the tunnel man now...

Thanks MisterX. That puzzled me because the first time I picked up an item the shopkeeper went crazy and shot me. Don't know, maybe I accidentally went out of the shop.

Awesome, I just realized you guys linked to my youtube video. I'm Mastatsan AKA the Carlz0r. =D

The latest version has a basic level editor. (F2 in the main cave)
Pressing F3 lets you play your level, after which you can go through the rest of the cave as usual. This allows you to cheat by placing loads of crates and gems so you can easily reach and pay the tunnelman. Highscores won't get saved this way, but shortcuts remain.

Thanks for the tip about the level-editor shortcut cheat -- but what about the crates? Are they destructible? I haven't been able to break any...unless you mean chests.

To the anonymous above me: You can open crates the same way you open chests. Up+Action. Your action button is your whip/pickup/throw button.

Weird. The shopkeeper guarded the exit and eventually shot me dead. And I didn't even interfere with him before.

A real professional game, full of touches of class.
Congratulations!
I'll play it more in the next days.

The tunnel man is the only thing that kept me sane. The only problem is I had to move to a different computer and now the tunnel is gone. Is there a certain thing I have to do to make him turn up (or is it just random)?

Also, how do you open chests with locks on them? Bombs don't seem to work, and neither do falls from a great height.

Groogokk - see the big keyhole on the locked chests? Well, there's a clue ;)

Superb game derek - your best yet in my opinion.

Yeah, James, I saw that keyhole - I've never come across a key though. I guess I'll just keep looking.

They should both be on the same level I think... However, I know you can carry keys from one level into the next - just keep looking ;)

great game derek yu.
even though I'm about to start ripping my hair out.

have you guys really managed to get 100,000. for the tunnelman?

and just so im sure.. there is no save function right?
but when i press escape it reads 'saves: 2' ...as in saved a dame twice?

problem solved, hair intact, tunnel dug and the game just got an extra thumb' up from me.

<3

I would love to play this on mac. Anybody know if this will come to mac?
