Spelunky is a 2008 platform video game created by independent developer Derek Yu and released as source-available freeware for Microsoft Windows. It was remade for the Xbox 360 in 2012, with ports of the new version following for various platforms, including back to Microsoft Windows. The player controls a spelunker who explores a series of caves while collecting treasure, saving damsels, fighting enemies, and dodging traps. The caves are procedurally generated, making each run-through of the game unique.
Runs well on modern hardware.

this game is so much fun! my favorite part has to be when an alien UFO crushes my pathetic fragile little body upon entering the level! also shoutout to Hungry Gary, Giant Enemy Spider (tuah spider), and Clarence! I have nothing but absolute hatred for them! :D
Great game, a hard yet fun challenge in every level even if the game is RNG based its still a ton of fun. The way every level is randomly generated making every playthrough feel fresh and new while still keeping familiarity after playing for a while. The controls and everything feels nice to use and the soundtrack for this game is the best I've ever heard from most games I play.
Oh its like mario! oh cool I have a little whip! Look at that bug.... oh I died. Shopkeeper ill just take this....and I died. Great game would recommend!
