About Spelunky
Spelunky (also known as Spelunky HD) is a remake of Spelunky (now known as Spelunky Classic), an open source indie platformer video game created by Derek Yu and originally released as freeware for Microsoft Windows. The player controls a spelunker who explores a series of caves while collecting treasure, saving damsels, fighting enemies and dodging traps. The caves are procedurally generated, making each run through the game unique. Spelunky is one of the first examples of a roguelike-like, borrowing concepts from the roguelike genre, and was the influence for many later roguelike-like games.

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,719 ELO points over the last 170 days.

218 puestos y encima con un 68% de victorias, esto no tiene sentido. Este juego debería estar mucho más arriba, punto.

J'ai découvert ce jeu un peu par hasard un été, à essayer d'aller un peu plus loin chaque soir sans jamais vraiment réussir.

Oh non, si mal classé, quelle tragédie.

Face à Hades, il tient bien.

Win rate doesn't mean much here. Put it against a fresh run today and the learning curve alone explains the ranking.

Nos turnábamos con mi hermano cada vez que moríamos, así avanzamos casi todo el juego.
Ghost_Archuleta
Turnarse con un hermano suena genial, pero el juego castiga tanto los errores ajenos que a veces esa dinámica se rompe rápido.

Je ne sais pas trop quoi penser de ce genre de classement, il change tellement selon les duels tirés au sort qu'on dirait presque de la loterie.
CapucineHunter
Pareil, j'ai eu ce sentiment aussi. Mais bon, c'est pas une excuse, ce classement reflète juste le niveau réel des duels.

¿Alguien puede explicarme por qué este juego sigue tan abajo en la lista? ¿Es porque parece simple al principio y la gente lo abandona antes de entender la profundidad que tiene?

Yo también pensaba que la dificultad explicaba todo, hasta que vi cuánta gente lo deja tras un par de muertes tontas.
