The Multiplicity of the Game

Everything in the game that hurts you has a potential upside everything that helps you could potentially kill you. I think this is the thing on almost every level that spelunky does like this idea of multiplicity so evenThink about the help path right it's not just keys for a locked door the red key to open the red door the ujai has this cool special benefit of seeing gems in the level  the onc let's see resurrect and so it's just like everything in the game is doing multiple things every item has like a risk and a reward.
