"Legends speak of a Colossal Cave that extends deep underground, so twisted by time that its passages shift like the sand under which it lies... the Cave is said to be filled with fabulous treasures, but also incredible danger!"
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 cave's 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 you're looking for...
Don't be afraid to die! But also don't be afraid to live! Happy Spelunky-ing!
"Challenging, addictive, thoughtful and beautiful, Spelunky is a stream of constant delight. The icing on the cake is that it's free... There are no excuses not to play this. You have been warned." -Lewis Denby, HonestGamers
"While failure is a part of life, in Spelunky every play feels like a fresh chance to get it right." - Gus Mastrapa, Paste Magazine
"The game maintains a nice balance of tight precision puzzles and breezier areas that let your caver stretch his legs. And while the visuals are chunky, everything in the game, from flaming frogs to yetis, moves with a carefully calibrated grace." -John Teti, The Onion A.V. Club
"Derek Yu's Spelunky may well be one of the most unassumingly mindblowing games of the last 10 years." -Anthony Burch, The Escapist
Note: the original Spelunky was made by Derek Yu in 2008 using GameMaker 7. This version of Spelunky was updated for play in Google Chrome by Darius Kazemi and the team at YoYo Games using YoYo Games' GameMaker:Studio.

- (2024-02-15) Taven OusIey: amazing game, i havent beaten it yet and farthest level i had gotten is the 10th level
- (2023-11-30) Devya Rathod: so cool i quited
- (2023-09-07) Miryusuf Mirobid: press search and f3 (f3 only on windows) search and volume up to make screen wide
- (2022-12-02) Punz 0: I play it all the time! it has a few bugs, but its fine because it does not happen a whole lot.
- (2022-08-26) Jolyne Atchley: Okay, just want to point this out: The controls are perfect for it's original release date. WASD is just weird. The RIGHT hand is used for moving (why it's so good). This is a MALWARE free version, so don't get it confused. You CAN'T unlock characters. You can press the search key and the refresh key (or just f3 for windows) for 99 hearts.
- (2022-06-06) A A (Sammy The 2nd): Controls are bad, you can accidentally set rope while trying to jump, you can't use WASD, and you can't jump by using space. And the sound design is bad too. Oh sorry, WHAT sound design?? It's eerily quiet with absolutely NO music or sound. It's just a very bad experience.
- (2022-04-22) Zero Robespierre: A good representation of Spelunky, probably one of the best games you can find here. The only problem - there is no soundtrack, which it really needs.
- (2022-02-10) Cruz Kirrane: Its fun as
- (2021-12-17) godstable: Was a great game. kind of difficult but the ending was worth it.
- (2021-11-27) gmdhealth: I love this game, first of all you all have to stop complaining, i could tell you guys one thing who are all complaining, "Get good at the game"", first up the jump glitch is easily fixed by going to the scores, then going in and pushing the push tile to the restart pressure plate, there you go, if it doesn't work try again, if it keeps not working then uninstall and then install again, now there are people saying that it's endless, it's not endless, you have to get to olmec in level 16, and make him fall in lava, and die there, then you have to leave and there you go you beat the game, and for bombs just hold down and press a, and get away, there are more stuff i could have told you guys like shopkeeper robbing strats, secret levels, advanced strats, but learn yourself it wasn't that hard for me.
- (2021-10-04) Declan Brewer: I finally beat this game today... I am very satisfied with it. However, progress is not saved so no trophies, but a couple of tricks I found... If you press the f3 key (search + refresh key on a chromebook) you get 99 lives which you can refill whenever you want, so you're basically invincible (except for spikes and lava, any insta-kill basically) so that's awesome and, if you do manage to find the black market, if you go to the shop where you can roll the dice, if you have the spring shoes or a jetpack, you can throw the shopkeeper's dice at him and he will get mad, but no one else will. So you can basically steal the stuff from the other shops but you won't be wanted by the shopkeepers. Really fun. Also, I did a speedrun, and my best time was 6 minutes and 17 seconds. If you beat that, and give me proof, I'll give you a cookie.
- (2021-07-03) Special Dave: I can't hear any music at all and the controls aren't that good
- (2021-05-10) jack akers (ItzGoated): Not much to say except its good
- (2021-05-04) Truper_Timmy: I like the game play, just a few things to fix: 1. Running into a movable block is equal to it falling on you. 2. "Dark levels" are as bright as day 3. Suggestion: when you get eaten by the plant, maybe add a few seconds to be able to escape instead of dying right away. 4. There is no high score 5. Maybe make stuff a little more cheaper in shops? 6. I would like the crate glitch again. Other than these things, I really like the game. Five stars if fixed.
- (2021-04-27) Shayaan Shahed: I completed the game once and I collected 200,00k coins and I couldn't unlock the Sun Room. Please help
- (2021-03-21) caleb mellor: I have spent hours on this game 100% recommend .Thank You
- (2021-02-04) Imię Nazwisko: Controls sucks. Why not WASD / Q / E / and Space TO JUMP!!!!
- (2021-01-08) Watermelon King: It's really fun and addicting hard to master but it's rewarding and any issues it may have were solved in the HD version and the sequel highly recommend
- (2021-01-05) Roshan Parkinson: The tutorial dose not work. 😡
- (2020-11-04) Conner Day: if on chrome book press search shift 3 to get 99 hearts if on desktop press f3
- (2020-11-02) Daniel Guerra-marlette: it works well
- (2020-10-16) BlackKatGaming: This game is amazing and I love it, however. there are a few major problems. For one, the game doesn't save, so there is no score-keeping, bonus rooms, or tunnel man. Other than that, this game is one of te best I've ever played and I strongly reccomend it.
- (2020-10-03) Savva Rayskiy: I love this game but there's one problem and it's that I can't hear the music there's no music coming from the game. Is this a bug or something? Please help me so I may enjoy the game to the fullest.
- (2020-03-29) Connor Johnson: Great Like Splunkey
- (2020-02-18) Valera Melkonian: okay
- (2020-01-02) Winx West: Has as few bugs but is still fully playable and brings you back to the good days before the sequel stole the spotlight.
- (2019-06-26) SourSugar: This game is good for when you are in a place with no internet or on a road trip, but if you have internet, play this game online. Spelunky HTML5 website has audio, along with memory of your data, and is overall the better version. Some bugs, but overall great game!
- (2019-06-20) Sam: William Millgate is right
- (2019-01-11) it would not let me click ANYTHING!!!!! it wouldn't show my mouse on the game
- (2018-12-01) Xyrüs: got audio, character, and controls... wouldn't jump high enough to get over blocks.
- (2018-11-13) Irock2190: this game is a joke
- (2018-10-16) Elsie Mercado: It sucks doodoo
- (2018-08-10) A.R. Siereveld: Controls are okay for keyboard. No sounds. Not gonna play if I can't hear it.
- (2018-06-16) Carlo Adam: if the game glitches and you cant jump you can fix the glitch and get almost every item by opening a crate also if you press the search and three buttons at the same time you get 99 health.
- (2018-05-19) BallisticBro 398: Spelunky Classic is a great game. However, this port of the original has issues. For one, It does not save at all.It also never shows the tunnel man. It also has no sound.
- (2018-05-06) Lucien: the controls are confusing so you never know what to do don't waste your time on this
- (2018-05-01) Tin Im: not bad

- (2017-09-22) James Kerr: Great game. Lots of fun. But I wish it had music and sound effects because playing silently is strange
- (2017-09-19) Luke Dunn: I really love this game, but there is no sound! Dark levels are bright! The opening 'poem' is always the same! High scores don't save! You can't get the Tunnel Man! Somebody tell me how you got yours to work :/
