Spelunky 2's First Area Is Now a Bit Easier

Spelunky 2's latest patch has made Dwelling - its first area - a bit easier following fan feedback. Earlier this week, an announcement from the Spelunky 2 team on Steam said that they "know Dwelling is causing players frustration and I think there's some fair criticism there, so we're testing some changes to the spawn rates of enemies and traps, particularly in 1-1 and 1-2." Furthermore, some tweaks were promised to make 1-4 "more interesting." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/14/spelunky-2-review"] Now, Patch 1.12.1e has been released and it, among other things, "Tuned monsters spawn chances in Dwelling" and "Added more room variety in the last Dwelling level." This will hopefully help ease players in to the game we gave a 10/10, in which we said "Spelunky 2 is a masterpiece of procedurally generated platforming that stays true to the legendarily challenging original while also holding surprises around every corner."
