It's genuinely one of my favorite platformer games of all time. I haven't played the game since it released on the Xbox Live Arcade years ago and thought I would be blinded by nostalgia coming back to it. Fortunately, the game still holds up, even in comparison to its sequel (in both mechanics/enemy interactions and its amazing soundtrack for me at least). The game is relatively short but still pretty intricate and engaging enough for each round to be difficult, especially if you're new and discovering every place and its various monsters, traps, and items. The achievements and challenge runs are very fun to complete too, especially the low scorer one (where you cannot pick up gold for an entire run) bringing a very fresh perspective on another playthrough. They encourage you to discover more about the game and play better. And frankly, you're gonna die a lot. Each death teaches you more on how to navigate the game and its enemies and surviving its several fatal encounters. At the time I'm writing this, I have a little under 100 deaths before unlocking most of the achievements (exception of unlocking all the characters and the addicted/1000 plays one). But that's with the experience of hundreds of deaths before (on Xbox) and making each sequential run easier. It's punishing and chaotic at times but significantly fair as you start to understand how everything works. I haven't played much of the multiplayer and that really depends on who you're paired up with, but eventually it's all going to lead to some funny antics or accidental shenanigans somehow. I've been both enamored and enraged during my frequent replays of Spelunky HD, and even after completion I still love booting up a run every now and then. It's a wonderful game!
