Spelunker, what a game!

I'm surprised I haven't blogged about this other than when I got it. Spelunker is a fun but hard (and irritating) game. When you first look at it, you think "oh this looks like a kids game!", but I'm sure if you have a young child and they try to play, they wont last more than 15 seconds.
My guess is that the creator of this game wants to make it as realistic as possible, minus the graphics. You cannot jump from far, you cannot jump off things, and you have to avoid touching stuff...

Like steam...

Bats...

And more steam. I personally dislike this part mostly because it takes forever to navigate and you have to be spot on or else you're brown bread. Here's another part I really don't like:

If you don't jump this just right, you're going to hit that, uh, mound and it's going to kill you. I normally just avoid the coin altogether. All it does it give you points anyway.

I like the catchy tune when you get to this part. This happy music plays like it's congratulating you!

I found a jewel in the wall!

Anyway, I'm working on beating this game, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I swear, the jump button works when it wants to in this game, so I end up dying at stupid parts because the character doesn't jump when I hit jump. But I'm getting there. Wish me luck.
