Crack-cocaine made with pixels and bits.

Just a prototype to something greater

Haha I'm older than this game

Spelunky HD is just a better version of this game in every single way apart from the fact it has a level editor I guess, just play that one instead. That being said it's interesting to look back on and it's cool you can play it in your web browser.

HD has better mouthfeel, by which i mean gamefeel.


Really fun and addicting game with some rough edges. I have yet to really sink my teeth into the HD remake or 2 yet but I have full confidence they will be the definitive experience for this really fun concept.

After playing HD, there are some things that I noticed that I liked more in this game, like how spike pits seem a lot harder to deal with or the existence of the level editor.
However, the HD version still feels a lot more polished - but this is still not bad for a free game

Play Spelunky HD instead. Still a groundbreaking Roguelike.
