La Mulana is $1.50 on Steam

yup

Also a worthy cause!

And 0.89$ in ru store.

Tho original may be free but the remake actually does improve alot of things.

It's about as tough as eating a plate of nails. So if that sounds good to you...

the discount was planned by the devs to promote the kickstarter for the sequel.

yes

It is a hard game, but not in the sense you're talking about -- initially the ruins are dangerous, but not at, say, a Ghosts 'n Goblins level -- you can survive a few hits, and the sense of losing health is more a gradual depletion of your resources as an explorer until you have to decide whether you're going to keep risking going forward or heading back to save what you accomplished so far. Very early on, you get a way to just teleport out of the ruins whenever you want, after which you'll usually be able to make progress even if you're not good at platforming.

The hard part are the puzzles and the traps; the bits of the game that will cause problems for most players are generally going to be thinky-bits rather than reflex-bits. (That and some of the bosses, but they require thinking as well as reflexes.)

(This also excludes the optional bonus dungeon of Hell Temple, which is just brutally unfair in every single way, but it is very optional and I doubt most players would even realize it existed if they didn't have a guide.)

La-Mulana isn't really like Spelunky; it's more of a traditional Metroidvania, but with lots of puzzles. It's a ''huge'' game, too.

Also for what it's worth the original free La-Mulana came out before Spelunky and was one of the games that inspired its style (the one they're selling is the remake -- the original was a retro title designed to look like it was being played on an MSX.)

La-Mulana 2 is the only game I've ever considered backing. I only didn't because dollars are expensive for me and the bonuses for backing (costumes and such) just didn't feel like they were worth it. I'm getting it the moment it hits steam, though!

Well, it already was in a bundle.

Yes.
