Spelunky
About
You play as an adventurer known as a spelunker. The primary task is to explore the caves, collecting as many treasures as possible, avoid the traps of enemies.
A spelunker can whip or jump on opponents to defeat them, can pick up items from the ground that can be thrown at the enemy. You can also set various traps and use a limited supply of bombs and ropes to move through the caves. A notable feature is that the levels are randomly generated and grouped into four complexes "areas", each of which has a different set of items, enemies, terrain types and special functions.
The player may also encounter girls who are in difficulty. They can be taken away and attributed to the exit. If you successfully perform this action - health will be replenished. You can unlock the girl as a playable character; the gameplay is identical, except that, playing for her, you meet spelunkers on the way to salvation. Another aspect that can be unlocked - "Tunnel man", which is present the mattock instead of the whip.

Spelunky reviews and comments
Im probably going to debate retiring this game for awhile. I want to progress the game and see if it grows on me. But it’s the type of game where it’s all just player skill progression. There is nothing that carries over between runs and I am getting better but the thought of surviving through 16 levels seems insurmountable (I looked up how many levels). I hope something clicks and I end up liking to more. I have to get in the mindset that’s it’s about getting out. Not about getting resources or items.
Nah I’m not feeling it. I need more. I can see how a platform lover would like it. But I don’t. The second is on gamepass. I’ll give that one a go someday and see if it clicks more but I don’t need to spend any more time trying to like this game. I’ve gave it 4 hours which I think is enough.
Final Score: B-
