#SPELUNKY 2 XBOX SERIES#

To achieve this, he added a lot of lore and backstory for the world and the characters.

Yu strived to create a game world that feels like a 'living, breathing place' in order to keep new players engaged. New features were added to the game, while the original gameplay loop was refined and remixed. Yu intentionally ensured that the game would not be radically different from the first Spelunky as he felt that sequels should be 'extensions of the previous games', and that fans of the first game would feel like they are playing a 'continuation'. Yu needed to outsource the game's development to BlitWorks because of the sequel's larger scope. He partnered with BlitWorks, the developer of the PlayStation ports of the first game, for the game's programming. Like the first game, the story and aesthetics draw inspiration from several ancient cultures, featuring mythological figures like Olmec, Kali, Osiris, Lamassu and Tiamat.ĭerek Yu, the creator of the first game, returned to develop the sequel. The game's story concerns Ana Spelunky, the daughter of previous Spelunky protagonist Guy Spelunky, as she ventures to the Moon to find her missing parents. The game also supports four-player online multiplayer, with the introduction of both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. In addition, the game introduces new monsters, traps, and ridable mounts. The game features a new liquid physics system, in which fluid will flow naturally throughout a level. New areas, such as the lava-themed Volcana, are introduced. Each level also features several layers which can be explored by the player. There are also many other characters that the player can unlock, from wooden coffin-shaped boxes found in each area. When Ana dies, she will have to start from the beginning of the game unless the player unlocked tunnels (shortcuts) and lose all of her items, and the game is rearranged through procedural generation to present new challenges and paths. In the game, Ana must navigate deadly caves filled with hostile enemies and traps to collect treasures. In the game, the player assumes control of Ana, the daughter of the explorer from the first game, who visits the Moon in order to find her missing parents. Like its predecessor, Spelunky 2 is a 2D platform game. The game received critical acclaim upon release.
