This is a 2D platformer for the Dark Souls-obsessed, the kind of player who lives to overcome every challenge regardless of the abuse they’ll endure.You’re likely to spend hours in the mines, Spelunky’s first world, before you ever arrive at the jungle that follows it. You'll cherish your fragile little life and appreciate what you earn, without a single concern for in-game unlocks. As such, you'll care when you do something right, when you narrowly avoid death. Death is permanent, gain is minimal, and you start from scratch every time you play. Spelunky’s charming music and colorful art is a ruse - it will punish the faint of heart and emotionally unstable. It doesn’t want you to proceed to the next cave, and you can go hours without making an inch of progress. Spelunky can feel like a complete waste of time. Darkness makes each step a risky guessing game. Snakes spit on that easily agitated shopkeeper. Wasps corner you when you slow down on their honey. Harmless bones turn into harmful skeletons. Arrow traps just happen to propel you, stunned, into (you guessed it) spikes. Long drops are as likely to land you in safe water as they are to impale you in a spike pit. Each cave - there are four in each themed 2D world - is randomly generated, but is clearly built with some semblance of creator consciousness. What would I miss if I left? Why would I quit when I was so close last time? How would I tell somebody another incredible story about hunting treasures? Your actions aren’t the common denominator when it comes to death. Walking away from Spelunky won’t make sense in your mind. Yet, for a while, it’s hard not to focus on the failure you’re destined to keep repeating, the progression you won’t make, and the impossible skills you aren’t developing. Items in shops are there to sell weapons for self defense or replenish stuff you've used, but the skills necessary to succeed are there from your first try.
Play You - and up to three local friends, if you please - have bombs to blow up the world, rope to save you from falls from the start, and that’s all you’ll ever need.
