Spelunky 2 mod Overlunky lets you zoom out and blow up every level
I’ve exhausted Spelunky 2 of everything it can give me (because I’ve no interest in pursuing its remaining secret endings). I’ve therefore turned to mods to help extend the experience. There’s not much available so far, but there is Overlunky, a mod framework that lets you teleport to any level, spawn items including explosions, and zoom the camera out way far. It’s cool to play around with, and hopefully a platform for more to come. (more…)

Spelunky 2 now has online multiplayer on PC
Grab your pals prepare to blast off to the Moon, for Spelunky 2 added online multiplayer today. Four players can plunder the Moon’s treasures in online co-op, though the murdersome Arena mode isn’t activated yet. Technically online is in “public beta” right now, so don’t expect perfection, but you can play it! Eventually, you’ll be able to play with folks on PlayStation 4 too. (more…)

The nifty Spelunky 2 Dare Challenge Bot cooks up daily feats to achieve
If you need a change of pace in your procedurally generated death dungeons, look no further than this crafty Spelunky 2 Dare Challenge Bot. Spelunky 2 does have its own Daily Challenge mode that serves up all players with the same level seed each day, but perhaps you’ve gotten quite good at those. Or perhaps, like the creator of this fun little bot, want a new reason to play. (more…)
Spelunky 2’s first few levels are now friendlier
Do you feel Spelunky 2 seeds have been a bit more generous these past few days? A little less keen to murder you the second you cross the cave’s welcome mat? That’s not luck with the RNG, that’s the blessing of designer Derek Yu. After talking last week about plans to tweak the first few levels, turns out he quietly released a patch doing just that the next day with less fanfare. Surprise! (more…)
Spelunky 2 daily: Well, it could have been worse
The Daily Death is a daily series of videos in which Graham attempts the Spelunky 2 daily challenge. Today’s Daily Death is a return to form, if that “form” is steady mediocrity. What I’m saying is, I reach beyond world one, but not much further. I’m much (but not that much) better than this. (more…)
Spelunky 2 daily: I strapped an explosive to my back then went to lava world
The Daily Death is a daily series of videos in which Graham attempts the Spelunky 2 daily challenge. I was worried about being overcautious after yesterday’s terrible run, in which I died on the second level. Spoilers: I was not cautious. (more…)

Spelunky 2 daily: My whole life is about this jetpack now
The Daily Death is a daily series of videos in which Graham attempts the Spelunky 2 daily challenge. Today’s episode of the Spelunky daily includes spoilers for the game’s first four worlds. Yes, this is my humble brag way of saying I got to world four on the daily challenge. (more…)

Welcome back to the Daily Death, in which I record my attempt at the Spelunky 2 daily challenge, and encourage you to do the same with your own runs. Today: the world’s luckiest lava droplet. (more…)

Spelunky 2’s online multiplayer will arrive after launch
Spelunky 2 launches on PC next week, but you’ll be tackling its randomised platformer dungeons solo for a few weeks after that. “Our online multiplayer had a bit of a rocky start on PS4,” Mossmouth say, and they’ve decided to hold that element out of the PC release temporarily instead of delaying the launch of the game entirely. Mossmouth and BlitWorks anticipate that online multiplayer will be ready for PC within a few weeks. (more…)

Spelunky 2 shortcuts: what items are needed to open all tunnels
Spelunky 2’s shortcuts offer you the opportunity to skip through levels if you complete them enough. This is done by meeting Terra, who’ll be there and waiting for you once you’ve beaten a world. You’ll need to fulfil certain requirements to unlock the shortcuts though – here’s what you need to hold onto. (more…)

Spelunky 2 is out on PS4 today, and PC later this month
Hip hip hooray, Spelunky 2 is out today! On PlayStation 4. Not on PC. We won’t get it on PC for another fortnight. But… this does mean you can now read reviews of the dungeon-diving platformer and watch other people play and all that, if you don’t mind first seeing its surprises through someone else’s eyes. Myself, I read the start of one review, enough to sustain my excitement, and will now avert my eyes until the 29th. (more…)

There’s good news in the world of cartoon-y death dungeons today. Spelunky 2 has a PC release date and it’s actually just a bit earlier than I’d speculated. The sequel to the well-loved procedural-generated cave escape will launch for PC players before the end of this month. (more…)
