Honestly that looked like how I'd characterize playing a "real roguelike" would look -- take no chances, know as much as possible about what's going on around you, and yet don't dawdle because the clock is ticking...

Guess I gotta give it a try now!

:siren: Anyway, surprise! It's time for a new update! :siren:

After an endless bout of procrastination, Dark Souls, and not being able to be online at the same time than my guest (or playing Dark Souls while he wants to do a video), it's time for this Let's Play to resume! This time, I will be attempting a weird challenge: let's play the game multiplayer with myself, while controlling both characters at the same time, using the same input! That means I must move both characters so that they don't fall in traps, avoid whipping them into a pit of spikes or an enemy, not tossing a rope in their face and make them bleed, not throw a sticky bomb on them and condemn them to an explosive death... I could go on for hours regarding what could go wrong.

Let's show it off instead while I have Slowbeef around to see the entire madness unfold.

Glad to see you take on my challenge. I hope you show off in another video how crazy it is with four characters. Granted at that point I just have to turn off the whip button for the other characters.

Turning off buttons for other characters is called cheating, you know :colbert:

Speaking of cheating, could you not just pick up the other character and carry them through every level? Or do they automatically stand up at some point like an enemy?

If one player is grabbed by another, he can free himself by pushing the jump key. So the moment I hit the jump button, one character would free himself. And finally, would that be any fun to watch? You have to make it interesting!

Definitely, because then you can succeed at doing this kind of challenge without having to resort to glitches or hoping that an unlockable character will spawn in the spaceship to carry the scepter through the next level.

The Robot is always there, you just need to revert your save file once you do unlock him to keep him locked.

Low morale causes the golems to dance in panic.
The way that the whip makes you get knocked back automatically makes me wonder if it'd be possible to use it as like a jump-boost by turning around mid-air.

Has anyone suggested a completionist run? Where you kill every single thing you see. Sacrifice or save everyone. And bomb through the walls to get everything there, as well. I'm guessing you would run out of bombs at some point, though.

"At some point" would be "in the first or second level", most likely. It's not at all uncommon to see sections of the Mines that are inaccessible without using at least two bombs. You'd have to get very lucky with level generation and/or extra bombs. And what about the money and items in the walls?

Ehh, I guess I've just never understood trying to be a completionist in a roguelike game. The randomized levels and quantity of content (and, in Spelunky, the mutual exclusivity of certain special levels) mean that you're never going to see every single thing in a single game.

Maybe "visit as many special levels as possible"? A hell run with market, worm and mothership could be fun to watch at least and probably fun to do as well. Even the haunted castle could be fitted in there with some luck, I've had market entrance spawn in the castle several times.

Since stepping on one piece of gold at the same identical time means it counts twice, could you dupe gold by having a monkey steal gold repeatedly and continuously picking it back up again?

If so it would make 4 players with olmec spawning a monkey a way to farm infinite gold. It would also be a million times slower and more boring then ghosting would.

The Kali ghost can spawn, but the timer ghost doesn't. Speaking of which, didn't the patch that added the speedrun HUD and the slothsel also make it possible to get the Kali ghost and still beat Olmec?
