A genuine 5 star

Lots of 5 stars thrown around on GOG, as I often say and lament. But ladies and gentlemen, Mossmouth knows its - Controls - Jumping with skill - Challenge and Reward - How to have a skill ceiling - How to let you have your own style - How to delight you ever time you play I've played 60 hours or more on XBLA and I want people to love and attack the challenge that is Spelunky. Games like this only come around once in a generation, if that. Pick it up if you want a platforming skill-based challenge that will last you for months.

Hardest Adventure!!!

This platformer is unlike few others with a rare difficulty and sense of reward; complemented by a large adventure featuring many possible strategies.

All around fun game, no love for gamepad

The other reviews say it loud enough - it's good, it's replayable, it's polished. The only beef I have with it is that all the HID gamepads I have are useless in it - it's either X360 or bust. Spelunky SD is better in that aspect.

Waste of time

Terrible hitboxes, your whip has zero range. Ladders are yours worse enemy. You will die in one hit kill just because game will says it so. I've got bored of losing after an hour. But the best thing is when you quit with ALT-F4 - this will froze whole windows desktop. Rick Dangerous on C-64 was 100 times better than this.
