Holy shit. This is such a really cool and super faithful recreation of Spelunky for how watered down it looks. Results greatly exceed expectations, this this is amazing.
Delunky is a demake of the game Spelunky. The execution, mechanics and aesthetic style are amazing especially as this was made during a game jam. There were some bugs I have noticed while playing this game.
Taking any item which has a data value inside it (like pots and loot crates) through the doors allows the player to break them infinitely, which means infinite coins, spiders, bombs and ropes, you know the rest.
If you hold the left or right arrow, walk and simultaneously climb a ladder and jump off will allow you to jump mid-air once as long as you don't touch the floor.
While falling, sometimes you or an entity (especially spiders) might fall through some tiles.
You can avoid any fall damage if you manage to grab a ledge of a tile.
Sometimes the game says "OUT OF MEMORY", and the cartridge stops working entirely.
Overall, the mechanics are the things that surprised me the most. Using the rope while holding the down arrow will make the rope go down instead of up.
The game is very fun, I don't even know how many hours I have in this game at this point, but I would highly suggest it as a time killing game. 8.5/10
Okay, I think I know why a lot of the bugs exist, but it'll take some explaining:
1. This has been fixed.
2. First off, the wording of this is very hard to understand, so here it is summarized: When you walk off a ladder, you can still jump mid-air.
Second, this is because climbing a ladder doesn't remove your ability to jump.
3. There was no protection put in place for when you go above a certain speed. This also means that if you get enough horizontal speed, you can clip though walls.
4. This is intended.
5. PICO-8 has a set limit to how much memory can be in one variable, and if a level tries to add too many objects (not blocks) to the level, it crashes.
Not really. You need the interpreter to run it, which doesn't come with the cartridge. You have to have the PICO-8 software to run it, which costs 15 dollars.
Do you think you'll ever make a sequel (please at least optional same controls -- I'm on a keyboard the old fashion way)? I'm still awfully addicted to this and would love new set ups.

Fun game but the main problem is that I often have to drop down without being able to see the floor
Nevermind I didn't realize you could drop ropes down
Lovely!

catching a ledge is a mechanic from the actual game
4. You can avoid any fall damage if you manage to grab a ledge of a tile.
That's not a bug, that's an intended feature from Spelunky.

hmmm yes
is this rare
There seems to be a resource leak somewhere...
thanks!
Agreed Been wanting to make a new version but never found the time
I also (accidentally) managed to make this happen by throwing a container holding a snake near the wall.
Nice!
So.
I think I need to get away from this computer....
What's your most ridiculous death? I threw a rock and it triggered a dart trap killing me :)
(More antics) You expect me to fall for/on that?
This is fine
I tried to throw a dart at a spider on a ledge and it ricocheted off and landed on me. Then the spider also landed on me.
what do the damsels do?
Bring them (alive) to the exit in exchange for health!
how? i cant well bring them! i press x and z!
Press the down key.
thx
