I love Spelunker Party.. It may not be an everyone kind of game but it's a game for everyone if that makes sense. I couldn't imagine not liking it! Swing on vines.. run from rocks.. all kinds of good things inside this game as you're looking for treasure!

It's Spelunker, the legendary kusoge with niche appeal that you either love for its deliberate and precise approach to platforming or that you despise because you break your ankles and die if you fall from a height greater than one foot. This entry's a bit more accessible in terms of difficulty, though some of the levels and their respective challenges can be particularly cruel (looking at you, Ninja Suit).
... There's really not much else to say about it.
Outside of the addition of a roster of characters and an equipment system that introduces very light replayability in the form of combing old levels for previously inaccessible secrets, reviewing this is like reviewing any entry in the Bomberman series; what're you really gonna say other than, "It's Bomberman."
Recommended, so long as you understand that it's still Spelunker. If you hate Spelunker, then Spelunker Party isn't going to change your mind, but if you kind of liked Spelunker HD, this one might push you over the edge thanks to its more tolerable difficulty curve.

This was VERY clearly a phone game at one point and they chickened out. It's too hard for kids and too boring for your average adult, but holy crap I did NOT expect to like this as much as I did!
Spelunker is an infamous old platformer about a cave explorer who dies from... well pretty much everything! Even falling the tiniest bit too far which you will soon find out is not far at all! It's so infamous for this design that pretty much all memory most people have of the game is memes (mostly from asia) about all the silly extremely easy ways you can die. The music is an earworm which once you hear will never truly leave you and that's ESPECIALLY true for the "you died" jingle.
The original games used to be brutal due to the mechanics, but this game does a good job of more slowly easing in players to the more complicated concepts. However regardless of that the entire game for the most part on top of the platforming is one massive patience test!
Move too early? Dead! move too late? Dead! hesitate? Dead from traps or even your character running out of stamina.
This game is a steal when it's on sale on steam and I also think it's a good stepping stone before you move onto even more difficult games like the more advanced Spelunky series, but SERIOUSLY! This game will test your patience and understand on 2d platforming games, all things which I know will not appeal to you 'jingling keys' gamers out there.
The worst mistake the game makes is? 100%ing this game seems impossible on single player. I doubt this has much of an online community outside of MAYBE the Nintendo switch.
