>suddenly /v/ stops talking about it
What happened?
People stop caring.
referred to as "flavor of the month"
The developers of the game quit paying people to post about it.

That's how long the game stays fun
The use of static guns and few character enhancements mean that runs are going to be incredibly similar to each other. It's easy to get real bored real fast

People ran out of things to talk about. The game is good, but its set up in a way that really you won't have much to talk about it after a while, and that's fine, not every game needs to last forever to be worth playing.
flavor of the month syndrome
also not as good or creative as nuclear throne
boring weapons, lame music, lame level design, cool bosses

But Spelunky lasted for over a year and what is there to talk about that game? It's just one guy whipping shit. It boggles my mind how it could be popular in the first place.

Wow, no wonder no one talks about that game.
I got it the other day, it's pretty fun. Are there any other characters to play as besides the starting four?
>>342932412
literally flavor of the month.
shit happened with nuclear throne.

There are two hidden characters that you can unlock.

spelunky and similar games like Nuclear Throne all condensed the "rogue" games down to the pure basics.
Randomly generated rooms
Kill everything in sight
Shit gets harder
Die
This style became popular, but the reason why it was popular was because all the obtuse bullshit that was added was removed.
then comes enter the gungeon who thought "hey these games are fun, lets add back the obtuse bullshit to draw away all the people looking for a nice no-brain arcade experience, reduce the difficulty and challenge to put off all the thrill-seekers, but make sure to not add enough bullshit to keep the super spergs stimulated"
this'll be great
