Why don't you take 10 minutes to try the game? It is a free game with a small download requirement. How is it the job of the people here to make you try a game?

One game is a score based platformed with unusual depth and the other is a top down isometric action game that is absurdly loot driven.

Honestly, there is more differences than similarities.

Glad you recognize that. Sad that you failed to get the point behind it.

i already tried it for 10mins, it was boring... just collecting coins. whee.

why make a topic if he doesnt want people to play it? hes barely even telling what kind of game is it..

with unusual depth

i dont understand how depth makes the game better... if its still all about getting score, then its still the same pointless game.

and the other is a top down isometric action game that is absurdly loot driven.

absurdly? the only goal in diablo2 is to kill stuff to be able to kill more stuff... or to kill stuff to get stuff to be able to get more stuff. trust me, ive played diablo2 more than 100 hours...

Honestly, there is more differences than similarities.

if you take some time to think, you'll notice theyre both basically the same game in their goals. as noted above ^

Glad you recognize that. Sad that you failed to get the point behind it.

i got your "point" which sucked hard. go make better joke.

ill entertain your line of thought...
What games had good goals than?Diablo's goal was to kill Diablo...
The goal of spelunky is to "beat" the cave system and get as much treasure as possible...

[TradeMark]

Diablo's goal was to kill Diablo...

you obviously never played diablo2... the goal was to be the best and have best stuff, people just run and kill diablo 1000 times a week because it gives best stuff. which again, allows you to run to the diablo twice as fast as before ,and kill him again, so... its still just endless pointless loop. as i said before... if you still played WoW after diablo2, then you obviously didnt wake up yet and didnt understand diablo2 was pointless too, and you probably never will...

The goal of spelunky is to "beat" the cave system and get as much treasure as possible...

yeah ok, i see, if thats it, it seems quite boring game; ive played these kind of games for last 20 yers now, nothing new to me. might have been good game when i was kid again, i mean, the goal about collectin coins was fun when i was kid.

although, i played even stupider and even more pointless game recently: the goal was to go in every room and collect all 5000 coins XD lol... but thats just one of my "mentally ill days" when i do stuff like that. and it didnt even feel fun to me, but i still kept playing... as i said... mentally ill days.

[Gota]

All i can say is "shut up, your being ridicules"

As a casual player when i played diablo 2 i played to kill diablo once...not ot get best loot and kill him and endless amount of times for farm...
I play spelunky cause its just fun,I just keep getting back to it when im bored for 30 minuts.
I enjoy uncovering all the interesting nuances of the game...

[bobthedinosaur]

can some one make a foot ball mod?

[KaiserJ]

there are only two differences. diablo 2 runs at a higher resolution, and spelunkys' wind-force bow is more powerful. everything else is identical

edit: anyways, any trademarks aside; how far have you guys gotten in this? i'm still struggling to get into the third world most games (but i did figure out what the udjat eye is for, and will be changing my strategy to take advantage of it in future)

[SwiftSpear]

I never get farther than a few levels in. I play like I play super Mario. Run key held down the entire time whizzing around with reckless abandon. It's annoyed me so far that if I pick up a gun I can no longer pick up any other item at the same time

Diablo is incredibly easy compared to Spelunky

Dont forget to pay the tunnel guy!!! he will make shortcuts that are saved......
My fav items...Teleporter climbing glove and the golden cape...

[KaiserJ]

my buddy was over on saturday, we were taking runs while watching the boxing, that was his approach, to hard-charge for a few screens at the start... sometimes it would work, i saw him tumble full speed into the "i hear snakes... i HATE snakes" area and somehow mario his way to clearing all of the enemies without taking a spot of damage >.>

of course other times he would manage to get clipped by two arrows at once...

i love the climbing glove... i think i got the furthest so far with climbing glove / jetpack / shotgun (so lucky to get those items really, it hasn't happened again) and the spring shoes aren't too shabby either. a pitchers mitt and the sticky bombs are a game changer if you can ever combine those... definitely the most welcome sight in the first world for me is seeing a dice parlor.

(for at least my first 200 plays, i didn't realize i could have more than one item, so i left so many useful things like capes and shoes that would have helped me so much >.<)

[Gota]

You figured out the sacrificing on the alter for items thing?
Also it seems using bombs in the snake pit gives you pickaxes...
Get sticky bombs by killing the mega spider...
