Guys, I've played the Spelunky demo with much anticipation today, and I totally failed to see what the hype was about. Before trying the demo I was about to purchase the game solely based on the recommendations I've seen at GAF, but afterrwards, I ended up saving myself the $12 (I bought Limbo for $6 instead). Thank heavens for the demo!
I liked the visuals on the Vita screen, the tight controls, and randomly generating dungeons, but the idea of constant permadeath turns me off, I guess.
I'm one of the few who simply couldn't enjoy Demon's Souls/Dark Souls, probably for the same reason.
Sorry Spelunky, you're just not my cup of tea. I might give the demo a whirl from time to time if I feel like going through 4 mini stages, but that's about it. Does this make me a bad person?
