In other news, I said screw it all and stopped whipping pots. The next three pots I threw all had spiders. The second two pots were thrown in a vain attempt to kill the present spiders.

 I tell you, those things really, really hate you.

It's actually quite possible to just run away.  Half my deaths are from "Ha HA!  I have you now spider, just follow me over here and eat whip--ohgodno".  If I ran instead of fighting I'd live SO much longer.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I once ran away and misjumped into a pit with spikes. Running away too hastily can also be bad.

[Okenido]

Just to let you know there's a new version out.

[Vaiolis]

Hmm... I wonder what the two new secrets are!

Spoilerized the release notes in case you are as lazy as me

Right when I thought I had escaped from it's clutches, it pulls me right back in!

[JoshuaFH]

I found one of the new things!

A blood altar! If you place a damsel on it, she'll die instantly and a message will come up saying "Kali is pleased with your sacrifice" or something. I have no idea what this does.

If Kali ain't happy, ain't nobody happy

[Hawkfrost]

I found one of the new features,

I checked the spelunky wiki, and apparently the altars are a more sophisticated type of shop that only accepts human sacrifices. When you give it human type things, you get a certain amount of points, and when you accumulate enough points, you get free items, LARGE amounts of health, and 99 bombs for the most amount of points where it then cycles and continually dispenses health.

Arg!!!  They took out the ability to pinch fuses!?!? Whassup with that?

Just don't destroy the altar, I accidentally did this and half a dozen spiders jumped out the statue head.

[penguinofhonor]

Shopkeepers have been changed. They have more health but only do one damage when they run into you. Their shotguns are still as dangerous.

[JoshuaFH]

Wait! You could pinch fuses?! HOW? I never saw anything like that.

Also,

 I think the random placement for the Udjat's Eye and the black Market has become more forgiving, as I've now gone through a couple runs where I found both, and gotten the ankh. That, or I've been INCREDIBLY lucky lately.

[Granite26]

In the previous version, if you were hold a live bomb and did an inventory switch, you would put the bomb away and it wouldn't blow up.  Was very useful when trying to plant bombs close to the wall in order to get two squares worth.

Now you just can't switch.
