An Indy platformer.

Spelunky, an addictive, highly-polished roguelike platformer full of arcade challenge, high adventure in randomly generated stages, and heaps of ancient treasures gleaming in the dark, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $13.49 for the first week!

EXTRA! Don't miss our Website Spelunking Challenge! Find golden idols on GOG.com and win one of the cute Spelunky Minis!

A hat, a whip, an attitude, and hunger for adventure--that's all it takes to start your amazing journey into the ominous depths of the ancient temple. The legend has it, that the place holds--among its many secrets--the ultimate treasure of a lost civilization. Beware, though: the underground is swarming with strange monsters and it's full of traps that will end your adventure in the goriest, bloodiest possible ways. There's magic in these caverns and walls, though, that twists time and space. You'll be doomed to repeat your attempts at braving the trap-filled rooms again, and again--and each time they will look different. Such is the amazing power of this place. Will you dare to explore it?

Spelunky is a platformer that challenges you to beat a series of proceduraly-generated stages. Easy as it may seem at first, the task proves to be extremely challenging. Every step you take without dying is a success, and the exit seems to elude you in every level. Trying to grab as many riches on the way, rescue a girl or a boy trapped somewhere near, and make it to the end of the stage in a given time takes more than a little practice. With sleek 2D graphics, great gameplay diversity provided by many power-ups and special locations, and difficulty level that gets really extreme at times, this game will keep you entertained for many, many hours.

If you're the type of person who likes to laugh danger in the face, perform daring rescues, explore ancient ruins, and hunt for unimaginable riches, take on the life of a archaeologist/adventurer in Spelunky, for only $13.49! The 10% off discount offer will last until Thursday, August 15, at 9:59AM GMT.
Does this include daily challenges?

That's what I want to know too.

Another week without classic release, huh? So much for "at least one classic a week, we promisssss!"

But I guess what GOG really needs is 2d indie platformers that will hit Humble Bundle in less than a month.

Looks like it can be fun but not for me thanks.

Well, to be fair, it is a revamped version of an old(er) game...

Looks like the daily challenges are Steam exclusive:

Makes sense, I suppose, but now I'm split on which copy to buy.

Afraid not. It does however include both the new and classic soundtracks.
Wishlisted for now, maybe I'll get it in a sale. And I don't know if it's just me, but I like a lot more the pixelated art of spelunky classic. Nostalgia, I guess.

...aaaand, we do have an interesting Spelunky challenge in store for you. :-) It'll be announced soon.
The only advantage I can see in this recent wave of Indies is saving a lot of money, so I can afford CASTLEVANIA and perhaps DUCKTALES on Steam. :p

Yeah, I do wish a blue would finally make some kind of statement about why they haven't kept to this promise.

Yep, I much prefer the old art too - Derek Yu is great pixel artist.
this just looks so hard...
