Spelunky getting HUD update. Spiders can no longer hide

Andy Hull, programer of Spelunky, and person of other things, posts news that spiders can no longer hide behind your HUD in the game, causing you no end of grief. The HUD will be changing soon. Your time is up spiders!

The new Spelunky update contains a couple added features, but is mostly bug fixes. The biggest addition is a less intrusive HUD option,” he posts on a thing called Twitter. In case you are weird, and like dieing by spiders, the new HUD is optional. Be like that!

I am sure one of these happened to you due to the old HUD hiding a spider:

  • Spiders falling upon you, knocking you into a giant hole, and making you fall on spikes
  • Spiders falling upon you, knocking you directly onto spikes
  • Spiders falling upon you,  knocking you into a trap, and then into a snake
  • Spiders falling upon you, knocking you back into a TNT box, and killing you
  • Spiders falling upon you, aggravating you, and killing you, as you try and grab the key
  • Spiders falling upon you, and killing you as you try and find the chest
  • Spiders falling upon you, taking your life, as you try and rescue the damsel
  • Spiders falling upon you, hurting your pride, as you try and sacrifice a damsel
  • Spiders falling upon you, knocking you into the bat you just jumped over
  • Spiders falling upon you, knocking you into the bat you just ran past

Behold the new HUD. Suck on it spiders!
