Another run of a lifetime is in my midst.
I get to 4-3 with a Cape, Climbing Gloves, Compass, Parachute, X-Ray Specs and a jar of Spider Glue.
Bombs and Ropes for days.
Not a single Shopkeeper is angry with me.
I'm murdered 5 Mummies, killed Anubis and even came upon a Mattock on the way into the level.
I'm GOLDEN.
...then I'm placed in a level with 3 lava pits, Tiki Traps everywhere and the only place to grip onto is the edge of said Tiki Traps.
I get spiked and bounced into one of the lava pits and my dream run is OVER.
$111, 775 and a bucket of tears after expenses paid for the ropes and bombs.
Spelunky's turned into one of my Top Ten games ever and all it ever does is punish me for loving it so.Comment

Jay, it got kind of buried, but I was curious if you'd been to the Blackmarket yet? Because that's really the key to making the game super easy (and super DUPER easy if there is a jetpack there).
Further, you need to get out of the "don't anger the shopkeeper" mindset, get to the Blackmarket, and MURDER THEM ALL AND TAKE THEIR STUFF.
Heck, at this point, I murder the shopkeeper anytime there is a freeze gun and other decent items (freeze gun is an easy shopkeeper kill) -- even if it's on 1-2.Comment

I play both games a few times a week at least (or I did at least...going through ASUS customer service hell/PC withdraw waiting for this replacement AC Adapter). Binding of Isaac is so, so good. I hope that when Rebirth comes out a lot of people that don't have it for PC (or don't have a PC to game on) pick it up.Comment
