Spelunky Gameplay

Spelunky is a platformer with roguelite elements that takes place in the mines. You take control of an explorer known as The Spelunker and your goal is to explore the mines looking for as many goods as possible during your exploration.

During your exploration of the mines, you have complete freedom to experience your adventure however you like. Are you lacking items you need in your inventory but there’s a shop nearby? You can choose to buy that item... Or steal it if you want to tempt fate.

You will find many traps and enemies along the journey such as bombs and mines that will blow up when you are in range, totally not sharp spikes you can fall into, cobras that will spit venom at you, and scorpions that will sting you among many other traps and enemies.

Explore the mines of Spelunky with your friends helping you out (hopefully), or take all the glory for yourself. Or if your friend accidentally killed you in co-op mode, you can get your revenge on them in a competitive Deathmatch mode.

That Moment When You’re too broke: The Spelunker doesn’t have enough money and might have to resort to stealing the storekeeper’s items if the items in question are necessary.

Another Damsel in Distress? Do I look like a (Not) Plumber?: The Spelunker will find lots of women throughout his adventure that will need your help. (This one doesn’t look like she’s in peril though) However, you do NOT have to save them. That choice is entirely up to you.
