Over 240 hours, 1500+ runs, I've completed this game a measely 12 times
Over 240 hours, 1500+ runs, I've completed this game a measely 12 times. This is one of the most difficult games I've ever played. The seconds are minutes and minutes are hours when you're playing this game. I've been to Hell once and I only just recently finished it under 8 minutes. This game hasn't gotten stale yet but it will make you feel every emotion ten fold. UPDATE after 519 hours of gameplay. I have unlocked all of the achievements, even the dreaded "no gold" one. I have completed this game countless times now, yet I still can't understate how difficult this game is. The hours I have spent in this game were well spent and for the price you're getting it for it's a steal....just don't steal from the shopkeeper. And to the people complaining it is too hard, Spelunky is meant to be difficult, that's the challenge and the point of it.

Endlessly replayable masterpiece of game design
Endlessly replayable masterpiece of game design. What sets it apart from most other roguelikes is the complete lack of any kind of character progression system or item unlocks - it's completely skill based and the only reason the game gets easier with time is because you improve as a player. The gameplay feels perfectly smooth and responsive, and even now when I'm 250+ hours into the game I'm still discovering cool new interactions and tricks that I can use to make my play more agile, refined and versatile. In short, it's the best indie game ever made, don't miss out.

A superb platformer with rogue-like elements
A superb platformer with rogue-like elements. Behind the cutesy graphics lies a world of randomly-generated levels filled with deadly traps, weapons, monsters, and treasures. You will die more times than you can count; but the game has a strange way of making you come back for more. Highly recommended if you're a fan of platformers, roguelikes, or challenging games.
