Oh word? well let's look at their ad copy: It's an action platformer and the ghost is there in a sense to force you to make decisions on the fly and to keep you constantly moving through the level.

Didn't even know you guys had a ghost too I'm sure people have plenty of good advice if you struggle with any specific zone/enemy/trap.

Stick to the main path until you feel confident enough in skill and time management to explore. It might take you a couple of hours until you feel confident enough dealing with the different types of enemies and traps but you definitely will get to a point where the ghost will practically never be an issue.īest advice would be to not be afraid of dying, learn from your mistakes. That being said 3 minutes is really plenty of time to check every corner of a map, finish side objectives and still make it to the exit without the ghost ever spawning. Spelunky isn't really exploration focused in the way you seem to want it to be. In Spelunky 2 the 'ghost timer' is longer, however (3 minutes instead of 2.5). It adds tension to the exploring, forces the player to make hard decisions sometimes, and it's connected to the game's world in other interesting ways.

Yes, the ghost is also in Spelunky 2! The ghost is a key part of Spelunky's design, which is partly inspired by arcade games.
