New Spelunky 2’s Patch Tweaks Its First Levels

Arguably the most back-breaking game of this year, Spelunky 2 has received a patch that makes its starting missions a bit easier.

We all agree that the first impression is the last. All it takes is a few minutes to make a judgment regarding something.

Therefore, 5 minutes into Spelunky 2 and players already gave up because of how demanding it was. You need a strong strategy and proper awareness if you are to succeed here.

Some missions would require you to not even blink as things can flip to 180 degrees in a matter of seconds.

“We know Dwelling is causing players frustration and I think there’s some fair criticism there, so we’re testing some changes to the spawn rates of enemies and traps, particularly in 1-1 and 1-2. Some tweaks to 1-4 should make it more interesting, as well! Look for those changes to arrive in a patch some time soon.”

Consequently, many players gave up on the game as soon as it started. Levels from 1-1 to 1-4 of Spelunky 2 referred to as Dwelling were so wearisome that players were not able to carry on.

As a result, the developers of the game took the matter into their own hands and improved the game considerably to make it gripping for large swaths.

Here is a list of improvements and fixes that you will Spelunky 2 packing thanks to 1.12.1e update.
