Spelunky 2

You play as a new generation of explorers on the Moon, venturing into caves in search of treasure and a missing family. Each run takes you through randomly arranged 2D platforming levels filled with creatures, hazards, and items, where a fatal mistake sends you back to the start. Move carefully through traps and enemies, use tools and objects to solve immediate dangers, and interact with a world where hazards can affect one another. Levels include hidden second layers and branching routes; you can also tame and ride animals, while moving water and lava change the terrain. Runs offer different routes, equipment, and encounters to discover. Characters you unlock gather at Base Camp, which expands as you explore; there you can practice safely and access shortcuts. The game also supports cooperative play.

Lead a lunar explorer through randomized, trap-filled caves, seeking treasure and missing family in a deadly platforming roguelike.
