In contrast to the previous crappy run, this is a pretty good and long one. Maybe even a great run considering I beat Olmec an even exited the Mothership with the Plasma Cannon.
Spelunky Lesson of the Day: No death this time, so what should I say? Well, I guess I can remind you that the game will not always reasonably hint where the entrance is, especially if it's hidden behind so much terrain that the eye isn't even close enough to blink. As such, if you're really concerned about getting into the market (and CoG / Hell by extension), you have to make sure to thoroughly search each Jungle level until you do, even the areas totally blocked off by a lot of terrain, necessitating either a mattock or lots of bombs to clear it out during your search.
6:58 - That was a very close call. Surprised I managed to avoid that ghost, I was off by a few pixels at most.
13:14 - Pretty sweet shot if I do say so myself.
17:45 - Free jetpacks are always a nice find.
22:25 - I don't know how it happened, but I missed the black market entrance completely this time around. I totally had the bombs to get to it if need be, I just didn't even see a single Udjat blink to help me out. Rather frustratingly actually, because it's not always clear which level you're even supposed to look for the hidden entrance, doubly irritating because I'm pretty sure the original version of Spelunky didn't have this issue.
23:33 - Another sweet find!
30:58 - Pretty cool bit of physics there: the UFO knocked a proximity mine away but not before triggering its countdown. After it exploded, it propelled the nearby falling gold upward. Don't usually see interactions like that all that much.
49:47 - I'm not exactly sure what I was going for there. I didn't mean to lose the idol and damsel, but it happened anyway because I was careless. I think I was trigger-happy with the cannon since I don't get to use it all that often...
