Update (October 16th, 2020): As suggested, Spelunky 2’s latest update has implemented changes to the first world.
The game has “tuned monsters spawn changes in Dwelling” and “added more room variety in the last Dwelling”, alongside a variety of tweaks and bug fixes across the game, according to the patch notes.
PC players – who received the patch ahead of the PS4’s update earlier today – have observed far fewer enemies in 1-1 in particular.
