Welcome to
LET'S PLAY SPELUNKY GAIDEN
Welcome to Spelunky! Today we'll be heading to a new part of the main menu cavern.
A secret area!
This is the Shortcut House. Throughout the game, this is populated with shortcuts that let you start from the beginning of each zone. However, I'm not interested in that - I'm heading for the leftmost door, the last thing unlocked in the game.
I am here to play as Tunnel Man.
As you may notice, Tunnel Man has some notable differences right off the bat. He starts with two health, no ropes, and no bombs. By these values, he's less than half as powerful as the Spelunker.
What he DOES bring to the table, though, is an unlimited-use pickaxe. The ground itself is powerless to resist his mighty tunneling skills!
Even arrow traps are no match for his mighty skills! Also, digging out an arrow trap lets you steal the arrow from inside it for weaponization purposes.
Possibly most importantly, all those yellow bits inside the walls are gold deposits. Tunnel Man can effortlessly dig these out, making him have a tendency towards obscene riches.
Unfortunately, well. The pickaxe is a much less useful weapon than the whip, mainly because it can't be used in the air.
Also, two health.
So! This concludes my first attempt at Spelunky round 2. I should mention: My goal within this this run is NOT to clear all sixteen floors. It is:
TO FIND THE LEGENDARY CITY OF GOLD
Stay tuned!
