Spunk Spelunk by ChuiGum
This is by far my best Ludum Dare Entry (This is my third). Not amazing but I'm pleased on what I've gotten in 48 hours. Spunk Spelunk is endless. Collect diamonds, kill bats, watch out for shrooms, and don't melt in lava!
Instructions: Up and Down Arrow keys to move, Left and Right arrow keys to shoot, space to jump/swing, p to pause, and p to play at the menu.
I wasn't officially done yet. In the entry I noticed it was a little dark. I now realize that the controls were kind of uncomfortable. Check out the post-compo too! Well, hope you like!
(2nd) Update: I thought I finished the game but I updated it today (May 13th). Lava comes up from the bottom instead of the top, it's not as super dark as it was before, the bats' eyes are also a little brighter, at the top of the screen it shows you how far down you've traveled in feet, at the game over screen it shows you how many emeralds you've collected and how far you've reached, along with your best in feet and emeralds collected, and most important of all the controls are better this time. Instead of space to swing, it's the left and right arrow keys. Z to shoot, and like always up and down arrows keys to move. You can play the official game if you like but remember that your vote is supposed based on my entry. Check out my website if you'd like too, ccolongames.com - c:

Fun fact: when I pick up the first diamond, there's a weird graphic glitch with Wine on Linux. But overall, the game played very well on my setup (no need to dual boot, which is great!).
Stopped because I had a hard time dodging when boulders would fall on both sides at once.
Weird colour pattern on screen confused me until I realized I was tripping on mushrooms :)
When boulders came down on both sides simultaneously it sometimes felt like there was no way to escape.
I also made a game inspired by spelunky as I've clocked around 150h of spelunky last few months..
Music on the enhanced version is very good.
