Over 240 hours, 1500+ runs, I've completed this game a measely 12 times. This is one of the most difficult games I've ever played. The seconds are minutes and minutes are hours when you're playing this game. I've been to Hell once and I only just recently finished it under 8 minutes. This game hasn't gotten stale yet but it will make you feel every emotion ten fold.

UPDATE after 519 hours of gameplay. I have unlocked all of the achievements, even the dreaded "no gold" one. I have completed this game countless times now, yet I still can't understate how difficult this game is. The hours I have spent in this game were well spent and for the price you're getting it for it's a steal....just don't steal from the shopkeeper.

And to the people complaining it is too hard, Spelunky is meant to be difficult, that's the challenge and the point of it.

Dude I love your conclusion sentence, people do be complaining about how hard it is, read a review where it was literally almost all complaining about how hard it is, I mean, that's the intent of the game
