Yep. I wouldn't say cakewalk, but it's massively easier.
I wonder if he's tweaked the shopkeeper behavior in this version to make that strategy less viable.
Man... I know it's a terrible idea but I'm so tempted to stay up the two and a half hours to get this.
this is amazing.

I am so deeply let down that this doesn't have online multiplayer. A bunch of us at work were very excited after watching the trailer, but alas, not going to happen.
I really want to know why it didn't make it in

Me too. (I'm in PST) -- I don't have to work tomorrow or anything, but I start to get incredibly sleepy by 12:30AM. Even if I do stay up long enough to download and play it, I'll probably fall asleep with the controller in my hand anyway.
I just got done watching that ManvsSpelunky stream that was posted earlier. I watched it for nearly 3 straight hours O_O My hype level is through the roof!
My wife saw the cross-eyed pug and was, "I LOVE THIS GAME!"

I like the look of this going to have to download the trial.

i hope that it does sell anyway. With online multiplayer and a price of 800 points it would probably have sold much better.

I'm definitely still picking it up, but I can't say the same for the rest of my coworkers. Sometimes it's a tough sell to get people who are unfamiliar with certain things to make a blind purchase, but usually online multiplayer (co-op even) will help ease the uncertainty.
I think you'd see a lot more spontaneous purchases (similar to my situation) if it was included.
Only it's not 800 points.

There you go. There's also an older interview from last year where he mentions it. There's a link on the first page of this topic, I believe.

Sure, there's a demo, and the game itself is worth a purchase.
However, sometimes the social/multiplayer "Let's play it together after work!" scenario will sell a game more than the game will.

Agreed. I went from not knowing anything about the game a couple days ago to being really excited to play it. I can't wait to try it out in the next hour or so.
Understood. Being a non-social gamer makes my gaming tastes vary a lot & often forget the opposite to what's ideal for me is perfect for others wanting social/mp experience.
Also my bad on the 800msp error even at 1200 I say bring it.
Go the Indiana Jones adventurer brown explorer brimmed hat!

So far only two people in the WORLD have beaten Spelunky, one of them being Kyle Pulver (maker of Offspring Fling):

Shouldn't it be online by now? Can't find it on XBLA.

Can't download the trial on Xbox.com? Usually works regardless of region.
I'm ready.
Jealous.
That is standard, means it is getting ready to go live - happens about this time with EVERY new release.

This. I am dying to play this on my PC.
The Giantbomb QL sold me on this, great promotion for the game. Wouldn't hurt to throw it in the OP I reckon.
The prophet has spoken.
The prophet has spoken.
until i can resell my digital purchases, anything over 800pts would have to be something incredibly special for me to buy
i dont use steam etc for same reason, i refuse to support any digital delivery services that can cut you off from playing what i own
the port begging in this thread needs to end as soon as possible.

Especially since they already have as good of an answer as can legally be given.
It wouldn't be a XBLA thread without some good old port begging.
Back on topic the game is going to be bought today at 1200 points, the GB QL was too awesome to even think about not getting the game at day one.

Is there anywhere that I can see what has been changed from the PC version to the XBLA version? I was planning on purchasing this when I got up this morning. Turns out my XBLA account managed to get compromised by the good old Fifa 12 Ultimate Team card buyers and now I have no MS Points...bleh!
Don't know if this been mentioned, but Giantbomb (Jeff/Brad/Patrick) did a pretty good, funny and lenghty quicklook of it.

I might be late on this, but after looking at the first 10 seconds, but is it just me or is this HEAVILY inspired by Montezuma's Revenge?
Edit: Further into the vid, it seems very similar but I doubt there was any influence. Still enough similarities to it (and Rick Dangerous!!!) to warrant a fresh purchase (unless I wait for it on PC). Woo!
Edit #2:

Gonna get on and try it out in a bit - seriously can't believe how I've went from knowing zilch to being so interested in a matter of days.
And yes, refreshing the thread just to see more port begging is annoying - but hey, it's an XBLA thread.
Well, from Derek Yu himself some hours ago when I looked:

It's just not a XBLA thread without it.
In other news. The music is really cool. Love the shopkeeper theme.
Im so tired of this, its like this in every single XBLA thread. I thought port begging was bannable. It takes so much away from the conversation when you have 5 or 6 people on every page saying "No PSN/Steam no buy."
I just dont get the logic of bitching about 360 having no exclusives, and then bitching when it has an exclusive you want, even if it may be limited to a year exclusive. Im guessing its gonna be the same for Deadlight and Dust.
End rant/
Now back to the game:
Just got it right now. Gonna play it for a half hour then sleep!
Really digging the artstyle now that I can see it on my tv.
