@lostrib: Copy pasted from another thread, my tips for RL
1) Your sword is the only attack type there is. Know its range, how far it can hit through a wall, what boosts are on it, etc.
2) Learn your enemies and where they get tougher. Some enemies can go through walls, some can't but can still hit through them. The easiest area is the castle you start in, then the forest on the right, then the area above the castle, then the area below.
3) Have money hoarding runs. Clear the castle first, then the areas in order of difficulty. Don't waste money on reducing Charon's toll or on classes like the Spelunker. If it sounds useless, it probably is. The Barbarian is my favorite money hoarding class.
4) HIT EVERYTHING. Cash comes easily this way and you learn what's an enemy, how far you can jump, etc. If there's ever two statues in a small rectangular room, they always have a chicken leg and potion. Use these wisely.
5) Use the Architect and Teleporter for bosses. If you're underleveled, money hoard, upgrade, and try again.
Otherwise, enjoy. It's not a game with a huge amount of depth but it's still highly enjoyable. Once you're done with it, try Spelunky and get your ass kicked for real.
