Details


This mod features 28 custom kaizo levels with occasional puzzle elements. See these videos for more info:

- Trailer

- Guide (all levels)

It might be difficult, but everything is consistently doable. No stupid jumps*. If you have suggestions for changes or if you find highly RNG-dependent elements, don't hesitate to ping me.


How to Play

Enter the main door to start a new run. If there's already a run started, this will reset your progress!
Progress should be saved automatically when you return to camp. Closing the game in a level transition will not save that last level!
To continue a run, enter the Continue Door to the right of the main door.

To play individual levels, select the level number in the main menu and use the shortcut door to the left of the main door. *If there's already a run started, this will reset your progress!

If you complete all levels, please send me your save file so that I can compile some statistics! You can find it in your Mods folder: Mods/Packs/fyi.tgt/save.dat

Credits

Big thanks to @JawnGC and @JayTheBusinessGoose ! This mod is based on Jawn's Spelunker Trials which uses Jay's Level Sequence.
I could not have made this mod without them! More thanks to everyone in the modding channels and everyone whose stream I had open while making this.


Q&A

Q: How long did it take to make this mod?
A: About a month (2022-01-08 to 2022-02-10), but it would have taken much much longer had I not had the work of others as a base frame

Q: I'm stuck. What do I do?
A: Try watching the guide. If you consider yourself stuck despite that, Spencer's Position Codes might be helpful. You can also try doing levels out of order using the shortcut door - the difficulty varies and some later levels are easier than earlier ones.

Q: Why would I send you my save file?
A: If I get a few different ones from people's first clear, I can compile them to assign a difficulty rating to each level, see which levels are the most or least difficult, and maybe make some graphs out of it.

Q: How do I send you my save file?
A: The mod's save file should be in your Spelunky directory in Mods/Packs/fyi.tgt/save.dat. You can (for example) send it on Discord: Gugubo#6966

Q: What do I do if there are olmites missing in 6-3?
A: Try clearing cache and updating to the nightly. You can do this in Modlunky, in the Playlunky tab, on the right side: Make sure your Playlunky Version is "nightly".

Q: There's some other gamebreaking bug
A: That's not a question but if you find anything like that, please ping me!

I take back everything I said earlier. /The jump/ is a lot harder than /the volcana 2/. I think my opinion of /the volcana 2/'s difficulty was inflated by the (time it took to get there + time of pre-jump deaths).
That said, over a course of 16 successes, it took an average of 4.25 jumps to make /the volcana 2/. I stopped recording trials of /the jump/ because the average was like 18 by trial 4/16.

"*Some jumps might be stupid but there's no /stupid jump/."
I'mma tell you I make the /stupid jump/ more often in normal runs than I will ever make that one jump in Volcana 2 (right after push block). I am actually inclined to make a plot of "average jumps to make /the jump/" vs "average jumps to make /the volcana jump/". Expect an edit to this comment.
Other than that, so far I'm having tons of fun, Dwelling 4 is my favorite level so far, then Volcana 1, then Dwelling 3 (even though it took me 5 whole hours).
Very well done.

Will go through after finishing Spelunker trials Vol.2. Expecting it being as difficult as spelunker trials 2. The screenshots makes it appealing.
