I load it up a few times a month, run it for an hour. Ive gotten to hell and the city of gold, and beaten in a few more times. But no matter how many times I get it, I die by the teleporter in a couple jumps.

My goal now is to beat it without killing a shopkeeper.

jet pack is nice to have, especially in the ice levels, but not mandatory. Personally I like having as many bombs as possible. Extra rope is nice, so is a cape or shotgun, but neither are necessary for me to win. I try my best to avoid climbing gloves though. They throw off my game.

Though the first time I beat it I had a Jetpack, the Ankh, and the plasma cannon.

I'm so cheap w/ my loot. Usually the only things I will buy is extra bombs. I've never used the jetpack, though it could be smart given how quickly my game goes downhill when I hit the first ice level.

Bombs are nice, but I really like extra health cause I make dumb mistakes.

Take a woman to the exit or sometimes there is a vendor who will sell kisses.

oh oh, yeah. I knew about both. I thought maybe you were saying there was a health+ item you could buy as well. Like how the parachute kicks in when you fall sort of deal. Nvmnd.

The only extra health item like that Noise is the Ankh. It lets you start over at the start of the map you are on with 4 hp aslong as you dont die in lava. You have to get it in the Black Market and is needed to get to the City of Gold.
