After watching some other dailies, I'm wondering something about the shopkeepers in the vaults. At the end of 1-2 there's a vault where one of the wall elements is a pushable block. Is it possible to enter the vault by pushing the push block without agroing the shopkeeper? Or will he instantly agro when you enter the vault?

WHAT JUST I DONT EVEN AHHHH

I beat hell for the first time! Not in the daily, but still. I did it! I spelunkied!

In which I really really wanted those bombs so bad and then didn't live to use them.

I went back and looked at my oct 22nd run, played much better that day than I did last night.

So I randomly started watching an old spelunky daily (Oct 22nd) and realized it was a dupe of today's (Nov 20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9AqeBXCzAQ

On the plus side, I unlocked the Robot

Maybe it's just me, but today felt particularly brutal. Maybe you guys will have better luck than I did.

I was having a really good run until I trapped myself in a corner with no way to avoid that alien lord's attacks.

Dark level plus ghost is just such a deadly combination.

I record at 1280x720, 30 fps, 1k bitrate. Haven't really messed with the settings to see if I can go higher.

There are unlockable items (you don't get to keep them, you just unlock the ability for them to drop in subsequent playthroughs) and there are unlockable characters. I've only unlocked one other character so far.

OBS crashed so this is missing the last 20 seconds or so. I run away from the bees, try to throw a bomb at the queen bee, but it's intercepted by one of her minions and it runs me down and blows me up.

Ended up picking up a four-pack for me and 3 friends and tried the 4 player coop. It was definitely fun but felt extraordinarily punishing Playing this game makes me feel like I'm playing it wrong. Maybe it gets easier after getting more unlocks.

I don't think i'm going to use the boomerang in the ice caves anymore.

That was heartbreaking, you had so much health.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to ghost gems and then died in the dumbest way immediately after.

I had no idea the shop lanterns were objects you could pick up.

Hehehe, you definitely got what was coming to you after all that Shopkeepers are idiots talk.

So if you pick up the damsel it gives you the option of buying her for a higher price than the kiss, 50% more I think.

Another dumb death but at least it wasn't spikes After the daily I played some more adventure mode and had a pretty good night. Unlocked the viking. Completed the game for the first time in the steam version. Then later on, completed the game in under 8 minutes. Speedlunky!

I'm using OBS, which I learned about from here: http://spelunkyexplorersclub.com/recording-tips/

That actually makes perfect sense. Detective Clyde solves another case.

Hmm.. new theory after watching that. Might be that enemies can sort of push an object into the crate to cause an explosion (In your case bones, in my case a gold bar). I don't think direct enemy contact does it because I push my bat for quite a while before it explodes.

You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but nope. Spikes again! I have a feeling that it had something to do with the bat no longer being above a ground block? Perhaps while the bat was 1 space above ground blocks it counted as being on the ground but once I pushed it off the edge, perhaps it then counted as flying and then set off the powder box as a flying object that came into contact with the powder box. That's my best guess right now.
