There should be a feature where Spelunky Guy can try and fit inside a really small hole and it results in him getting stuck and slowly starving to death.

Nothing says ‘fun’ like being brutally murdered by a bat you didn’t even see, or losing 30 minutes of careful progress because you accidentally pressed the wrong button near a shopkeeper who suddenly turns into John Wick on caffeine. The controls are tight, the gameplay is flawless, and the game’s only real flaw is that it hates you personally. Every death feels fair: fairly humiliating, fairly avoidable, and fairly inevitable.

A perfect game for masochists! The game is great, has a lot of character and it's an awesome experience. However I don't reccomend it for everyone because ( uhh... how to put it... ) it's like anal sex with a cactus . It's just very hard, Like ridiculously hard. One mistake can ruin your entire run and hence it is a rougelike you would have to start all over again for every attempt. Even better - the game itself can decide when to mess up your run for instance : killing a fire frog inside the shop off screen which will then explode and anger the shopkeeper that will get somehow mad at you and try to kill you anytime you will get close enough to him and those BASTARDS will guard the exit in every level for the rest of the run making the game much much more harder. This game is very frustrating and you can easly loose your mind plaing it, but it is at least worth trying and it can be a fun game anyway. Also even if I obtained all of the achievements I personally don't reccomend getting them - ESPECIALLY THE LOWSCORER - this one is just bullshit .

this game has genuinely been a part of my life for over a decade, i used to play it on xbox 360, and now i play it whenever im bored, or feeling down, etc. genuinely an endlessly repayable gem, i recommend.

Right, so you've decided to play this absolute death trap masquerading as a video game. Let me tell you something - this isn't a game, it's a bloody psychological experiment designed to make you question your life choices and sanity. Picture this: You're wandering through these gorgeous caves, feeling like Indiana Jones's less talented cousin, picking up shiny trinkets like some magpie with a PlayStation. "Ooh, look at me!" you think, "I'm collecting treasure!" Then BAM! The universe decides to punch you in the metaphorical nuts. You grab a golden idol - because of course you do - and suddenly the entire cave system goes into full-on apocalypse mode. A boulder the size of Eric Cartmans's ego comes hurtling towards you, and you're doing this pathetic little dance of survival. "Lucky jump!" you might think. But no. This game doesn't do luck. This game does BRUTAL. One moment you're feeling like a hero, the next you're being yeeted into oblivion by a spider that's apparently been training with SAS. Then a shopkeeper - who seems to have consumed approximately 17 espressos and is having a complete mental breakdown - starts firing a shotgun like he's auditioning for a Michael Bay film. And just when you think, "Well, this can't get worse," the game says, "Hold my beer" and launches an arrow directly into your face. Not to the side, not near your face - Directly. In. Your. Face. The genius - and I use that term with maximum sarcasm - is that everything is your fault. That boulder? Your fault. The spiders? Your fault. The maniac shopkeeper? Yep, you guessed it - Your. Bloody. Fault. It's like the game designers sat in a room and thought, "How can we make players feel simultaneously incompetent, frustrated, and weirdly addicted?" And by God, they've succeeded. This game is an existential crisis with pixel graphics. A middle finger to the concept of fair play. A testament to the fact that in this digital world, you are nothing more than a puppet whose strings are controlled by a sadistic game designer who probably laughs while drinking chamomile tea. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. But only if you enjoy having your self-esteem ground into a fine powder and blown into the wind of digital humiliation. Would rage quit again.
