Opinion:
Spelunky is a roguelike experience. This means that every single level is randomly generated, and once you die, you are dead. The goal is to make it as far as you can without dying while exploring more and more of the caves.

Spelunky is an indie game developed by Derek Yu and Andy Hull. You play as a cute little spelunker slightly resembling Indiana Jones. There really is no set objective, just dont die and explore. The further you get the better stuff you can find. You have some tools like bombs and rope at your disposal to aid you in your exploration endeavors. And of course there are baddies and traps that want to see you dead.

For what it is Spelunky is an excellent game. The use of pixel art makes it incredibly charming and fun to watch. It controls well and is a great game to have installed to jump in for a few minutes now and then. It is free, and should be on everyone's desktop for quick breaks. In fact, it could be 21 century's Solitare.
