Spelunky HD is a remake of the original Spelunky . Besides the updated graphics, this release includes new enemies, music, areas, terrain, items and 11 new playable characters. It also includes a local 4-players co-op mode and a deathmatch mode. The controls were redesigned specifically to be played with a gamepad.
The gameplay in Spelunky HD is a platformer where players control one of the new characters as they explore procedurally generated caves filled with obstacles, enemies and treasures. Players can collect items, upgrade their equipment and unlock new areas. The goal is to reach the exit of each cave while avoiding danger.
