A 90 average flying under the radar. Worth knowing about before everyone else finds it. Puzzles first, with fantasy, science fiction keeping things interesting between the "aha" moments. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run.

About this game

Spelunky is a cave exploration / treasure-hunting game inspired by classic platform games and roguelikes, where the goal is to grab as much treasure from the cave as possible. Every time you play the cave's layout will be different. Use your wits, your reflexes, and the items available to you to survive and go ever deeper! Perhaps at the end you may find what you're looking for... Don't be afraid to die! But also don't be afraid to live! Happy Spelunky-ing!
