...for those who got Spelunky 1 and La Mulana 1 confused an awful lot for some reason...


Yu had a real time of it with this, a sequel to one of the few nigh-perfect games to exist, and adding More largely did the trick , more secrets, more enemies, more levels, more items, more horrifying ways to die like a ♥♥♥♥♥, but with a price.


Multiplayer was borked and still is dicey. Some levels are much harder than others and seemingly out of order (Temple FAR outstrips anything till the Cosmic Ocean in terms of sheer lethality), saps the quality from this down from its predecessor a bit.


There's other things that are different but not bad; the game seems to revel in metagaming out in the exact opposite way from 1. Knocking over shopkeeps is much less effectual now, as is using backpacks, but other things are buffed.

Then as I alluded to earlier, everything beyond beating the regular end boss goes deeeeeeeeep La Mulana, in many cases with only the barest hints that something is even there for that special community-sourced discovery spice.
