Interabang Entertainment and The Angry Metal Company havegiven a new look into their upcoming beat-’em-up, Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch.

See how one of the best platformers ever was made

Oh, it’s Spelunky Even nowSpelunkyis a polarizing game. Some claim it’s one of the best in the genre, others think it doesn’t do anything special and has been over-hyped since launch. But as someone who wiled away many hours with my wife in its dark perilous caverns, I fall squarely in the former camp. Outside of a brief tutorial,Spelunkyis very much a hard knocks type of game.
