spelunky - my current obsession
polycounter lvl 20
This game is awesome. It combines the best aspects of old school platforming and exploration with more current text based rouge-likes. It's procedurally generated giving you a new experience every time. It's extremely hard, extremely easy to play for a bit and then put aside and then play a bit more, and it's free (for now). I loooovvveess it.

I highly reccomend it.

It's also really hard, or at least my platforming skills have deteriorated very far from what they once were back in the 8-bit era.
Upcoming XBLA verison.
Spelunky still looks like this.
It's a platformer roguelike. Bitesized, improvisational gameplay based around randomly generated dungeons. Everyone play it. And plug in a gamepad.
each zone is four levels, right? end of zone 4 if i recall correctly. If you're out of the ice caves, you're close.
Also, dont worry about the tunnel man. Its nice to have shortcuts for practice/to check things, but game winning runs are going to come from starting at 1-1. It get easier to run though as you get a catalog of tactics and tricks.

If you are a Spelunky junkie, you should try it! My record is 1547 ft.

if you save a damsel or buy a kiss from one, you get another life
It took me ages to figure that out because apparently I'm retarded.
Just keep playing! The fun of spelunky is learning.
Good solid gameplay + long lasting randomized items = awesomeness.
The shortcut guy is quite a bit more useful. Although the newest releases made it so you can't jump with him when attacking. I've just not updated to any newer versions because of it.
Completed over 50 times now. teleport I never found useful. jetpack and shotgun are useful as well as sacrificing the girl and other creatures for the skull item (collect blood for health points)
Is there a way to soft-throw bombs? I failed the tutorial twice because of this!
That would not happen to be the legendary rick dangerous, would it?
It's funny, cause me and my colleagues used to play rick dangerous in the lunch-breaks, before this thread started our spelunky streak.
