If you’re scratching your head bloody trying to piece together how something such as a roguelike platformer can exist and not cause people to dive off roofs, you’re not alone. When I woke up this morning, I wanted to watch The Weather Channel and reflect on life’s subtle nuances, but I hit the internet instead and stumbled upon the free, indie PC title, Spelunky.

The game is a first and foremost a platformer with elements similar to those hardcore dungeon crawlers known as roguelikes. The levels are procedurally-generated, sporting destructible terrain and a limited inventory system that requires thought before doing something stupid so as not to get crushed by a boulder or, hilariously, by a bomb you accidentally armed.
