Have you ever had all of the confidence in the world in your ability only to have it ripped, viciously from your grasp, leaving bloody stubs where your previously eager fingers used to be? This happens again and again until your hands are reduced to no more than stubs. But you don’t give up. You learn from each and every mistake and go on until you finally conquer the mysteries that lie in wait. Spelunky, the newest XBLA title from small developer Mossmouth and creator Derek Yu, will make you feel that feeling. The feeling of a hardship earned. True satisfaction awaits at the end of the cave, but you’ll have to earn it.
As we come to the end of 2021, let's take a look back as we celebrate many anniversaries that are up and coming next year.
"With so many wonderful indies released in September, catch up on the very best with our awards in 12 distinct categories. Have fun!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
"Spelunky is considered a classic roguelike for good reason. Its hazard-filled structure will have you constantly learning new tricks as you continue to progress further and further. In fact, it even remains superior to its recent sequel so I highly recommend giving it a go." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
