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 caveâs 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 youâre looking for… Donât be afraid to die! But also donât be afraid to live! Happy Spelunky-ing!
