Best Platformer Since Super Mario

I loved Spelunky when it was just a freeware 8-bit game. Then, I heard they were doing HD, and I got all excited, only to find out it was being released on XBox Live. It's SOOOO great to have it back on PC! Sure you die. You'll probably spend more time dying than you will anything else. But this game has the charm and the mechanics to keep you plunging deeper into the catacombs. The ONLY gripe is that there is no Online Co-op, but as long as you have on friend who loves Super Mario, you should be able to get them to play this with little to no problems. For $15- you definitely get your moneys worth based on the "randomized" dungeons. It's true- no level is ever, ever the same. There's no set map for you to memorize to help you be a better play- that only comes in this game through a lesson learned with each death. This game is a total classic, and a must have for any platformer fan- Spelunky's giving Mario a run for his Mushrooms!

I hate that Ghost.

Nice little game, ruined by that indestructable Ghost if you take too long.

Beware, perma-death

Beware, this game has perma-death. This should have been mentioned in the game's description.

Well-made, but just another platformer

Game mechanics would be great if it's 80s but at present time I think it's masochism to have 5 lives and die again and again and have to jump and jump. Game is well made and has nice graphics but I don't understand obsession with Mario clones in modern indie games scene.
