APPLE THIEF: A CLOSER LOOK AT NORTHWAY GAMES’ INCREDIPEDE

You’ve seen the trailer, but Incredipede creator (& real live Spelunky character) Colin Northway has just posted an extended video breakdown of how to solve one of the game’s challenges, where the player’s asked to scoop up a falling bonus apple from behind a wall and deliver it to the goal before Quozzle — the game’s main character — does herself.

Admits Northway, of the seven minutes of struggle it eventually takes:

I actually thought up this level on the bus. I also thought up a nice solution to it. Unfortunately the solution I thought would work didn’t work at all so I tried various things in this video until I got it. It’s not a great level and didn’t have the showiest solution but it gives you an idea of how to play.
