Even worse, some traps (like landing on spikes or being crushed by a stone block) can kill you instantly, regardless of how much health you have.

Almost everything in this game does one full heart of damage (there are no half hearts in Spelunky) and some do two or more. HEARTS - You start each game with four hearts, which represent four hit points.

does during the boxing scene in the first Sherlock movie, where he plans out a series of moves and knows all the reactions in his head before he even throws a punch? It’s sort of like that, and it’s awesome. It may seem chaotic at first, but once you figure out exactly what those rules are, you can manipulate them to work for you. Though the level layouts are different every time, the enemies and traps that populate these levels function on a strict set of rules. This guy will kill you instantly if you so much as touch him, so stay out of his way! Run!! That being said, you can’t just lollygag along forever - you have roughly 2.5 minutes to find the exit to each level before a giant ghost shows up to hurry you along. Therefore, walking is sometimes the best idea, especially when heading towards an area you haven’t seen yet. Things can go wrong very quickly in Spelunky, and it’s almost always due to carelessness. Like any platformer, you’ll find yourself running and jumping a lot - running into arrow traps and jumping onto spikes, mostly. I can tell you first hand, discovering this stuff for yourself is magical, and far more exciting than simply reading my descriptions. If you haven’t played much Spelunky or don’t know much about it, I encourage you not to read this from top to bottom. Stuff is explained in great detail, and therefore spoiled. Though I purposefully left certain pieces of information out of this guide to keep some of the mysteries alive, I still pull the curtain way back. If the Internet didn’t exist, some of this stuff would only be spoken of in hushed whispers behind locked doors. There are so many secrets, hidden areas and advanced techniques built into this game, it’s absolutely staggering. It can be brutal at times (read: always), but you’ll come to find that it’s also extremely fair and immensely satisfying… if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Before you start reading, I’d like to emphasize that, beyond the high scores and loot, Spelunky is a game about discovery and challenging yourself.
