An absolute treat

The indie game that I play consistently almost every week for years. The replay value of this one is insane. Spelunky's single player adventure game is always divided in 4 areas (if you don't count the hidden secret one): mines, jungle, ice caves and the temple. You will play sequentially 4 levels of each area. Every time you start in the first level of the mines and work your way up (or, in this game's case, down) towards the temple last level. You descend from the top of the level towards the bottom, avoiding traps and enemies along the way. You come equipped with bombs, which allow you to break through the ground and walls and do high splash damage to enemies, and ropes, which allow you to climb back up a small distance in case you want to take another route. You also have a whip which you can use to kill enemies very close to you as a last resort, although it has a very short range and you need to time it properly. You may also jump on the enemies Mario-style to do damage to them. You also can find active and passive items along the way to help you like a shotgun, which you can use to easily kill enemies from afar and does a lot of damage, a jetpack, which allows you to fly upwards, downwards and sideways very easily so that you won't have to manoeuvre yourself across the level or even an mystical ancient eye that allows you to see through the rocks to find hidden gems and, also, allow you to find a hidden level. The game is incredibly addicting and fun, mainly because of its randomly generated levels. Every time you start a new run, the level layouts are randomized, so no two runs are the same. Items, traps and enemy placements are different, sometimes to your advantage, other times not. This randomness can, sometimes, be very unfair.. Like you failing to stop an enemy from hitting you, that stunning you and making you fall into a spike trap beneath and boom! You're dead and have to start from the mines again. Yes, it's permadeath. All in all, it's fun.

Be warned

If all of the other reviews didn't make it clear, this game punishes. In fact, a bit too much for me. I got it free during the summer sale, and am glad I didn't have to pay. If you're into this type of game with a rogue like twist (shortcuts do ease the burn a bit) you'll probably love it. I've only seen a few bugs (mostly menu and display issues), but I didn't play for long. Instead, a let's play showed me how lame I am at this type of game, and demonstrate that it is fast paced and an at least somewhat interesting challenge. But I've got more important and better things to do with my time than be punished so severely. And I grew up in arcades (when they were new), so it's not about "kids these days..."

Promise but failed to deliver

I had no expectations for Spelunky, just looked like a fun & interesting platformer that I could play multiplayer with my kids. At first it delivered (for the tutorial levels). I will admit I had the thought, if the tutorial feels like a full game then this must be a hard game. And while it is reasonably hard, in the end, the ghost ruins the game for me. Just to ward off any nay sayers I gave this game a few hours & got decent @ it (I got through 4 levels @ a time a few times & generally got through 2 or 3), but it ended up not being fun, just annoying. DETAILS & A FIX The game is pretty hard without an enforced time limit However, I like being pushed a little by a time limit, but the ghost is nuclear holocaust where a good grenade would have sufficed. If the game creators had just been a bit more imaginative they could have replaced the ghost with other things that drive you out of a level @ an increasing pace THAT ARE NOT NUCLEAR WEAPONS. What I mean is, as time goes by, add new elements that make the level progressively harder, until, oh say three times as long as it takes for the stupid ghost to show up, @ which point the level would become nearly (or completely) impossible to survive. Before that time the level would become progressively harder at around the time the ghost shows (rocks falling from the ceiling, new enemies showing up, etc...) but things you can deal with if you are good enough... having to run out because of a stupid invincible ghost is idiotic @ best.

One of the best platformers.

Despite the fact that the game is quite old (5 years by the time of this review), the game keept itself pretty fresh... It's fast paced. Has a large variety of monsters. Nice maps. The soundtrack... well, ok, it get's annoying after some time, and it's loud, but given the fact that this game doesn't have a spcific story I just muted it and played some music so I was fine with it. The graphics are ok, but you won't be playing something like this for graphics... anyway... glad it works on my potato.

I found it boring and repetitive.

I really tried to enjoy the game, but it's not my type. Everytime you start the game you will start with nothing. You'll have to work for everything you've achieved in a previous run again. The gameplay is smooth, very responsive and enjoyable graphics. The items you find or buy are quite fun and useful. I am not saying this is a bad game for everyone, but it is not a game for casual players.
