Found another new item.

A skull cup or something that you get from sacrafices. The little description you get when you pick it up is "it thirsts for blood"

I wonder what that means.

Recently downloaded and played. it's ADDICTIVE.

Also, passed 3 levels with no casualties.

Although there was that one idol I took. Nearly got crushed there. Holy crap.

On a related note, I managed to sacrifice myself, kindof. I was eaten by a man eating plant that I put on the altar.

This is an awesome game, I have a shortcut to level 9 and I'm working on getting the one to the temple. So far, ~250 deaths and no wins. I have a record of 6 saves though.

Hooray, just beat this last night.

Started on the shortcut to world 9.  Ran into the giant yeti and killed him with ease, nabbing myself the spike boots.  Through a series of bad and good luck, I managed to nab a cape and spectacles too, but was down to 1 health as I entered the last area.  Mummy right at the entrance of the level, which I rode on til he gave me his scepter.  Blew through the level and found a shopkeeper.  Thought, Why not, and killed him with the scepter.  Got climbing gloves and a few other nice items.  I start to get paranoid about being killed by a shopkeeper since I still have only 1 health and I had yet to see any maidens or alters to Kali.  Still I make it to Olmec without running into any shopkeepers, or falling victim to a cruel level design.

From then on it was just a bit of sceptering and breaking the floor til Olmec went down.  Then I realized, I was on the wrong side of the hole and I had no rope left.  Thank god for random shopkeeper "donating" climbing gloves to me earlier.  I climb to the top, jump and cape to the other wall and bound up and to the door.

So what've we learned here?  Murder is always profitable and should be encouraged.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

If you like I'll post a screenshot.  I think I probably just got lucky that run.  Also, I dug out those first two shortcuts pretty quick.  I like the 3rd area, despite dying multiple times to the evil abyss when a yeti decides to toss me in.  Still working on the third shortcut.

Yes but by 100 deaths I think I'd only just got the first shortcut dug, I'm going to put it down to a mixture of superior skill on your part combined with much cheaper items in the latest version.

Just take the first two areas slow and build up some good wealth for tunnel man.  Also don't buy crap from the shopkeepers, they just rip you off.  Steal it if you feel you have to, but it's a lot safer if you just kill him.  Don't have a screenshot of the deaths unfortunately just of the "You made it" screen.  I've played since then and it's currently at 124 deaths 1 win, so the 111 death one is still the only verifiable record here.(I think it was 111, it was quite a few pages back.  Actually I'm not sure if there's a SS of it either.)
