The team also wanted to create a much more "alive" feeling world compared to the original game. Due to its massive scope, Mossmouth (Derek Yu's game development studio) co-developed the game with BlitWorks, a company known for working on ports of games like Spelunky HD, Super Meat Boy, Don't Starve, Sonic CD, and Jet Set Radio. Spelunky 2 was designed to be a true continuation of Spelunky HD, adding more to what was already established in the first game. Memories were had from playing with family, friends, and strangers alike.
"Spelunky 2 is not just about "getting good and beating the game" - more than that, it's an endlessly replayable playground to experiment in and find your own way, creating stories against the backdrop of an expansive, deeply-interactive world filled with secrets.
