Spelunky (also known as Spelunky HD) is a remake of Spelunky (now known as
Spelunky Classic), an open source indie platformer video game created by Derek Yu and
originally released as freeware for Microsoft Windows. The player controls a spelunker
who explores a series of caves while collecting treasure, saving damsels, fighting
enemies and dodging traps. The caves are procedurally generated, making each run through
the game unique. Spelunky is one of the first examples of a roguelike-like, borrowing
concepts from the roguelike genre, and was the influence for many later roguelike-like
games.
