Bombs and ropes are limited so you need to be careful with how you use them. You also have ropes to help you get to out of reach areas. You can use bombs to destroy sections of the level to access secrets or just use a shortcut. You have your handy whip which will deal with most enemies, though you can also jump on most enemies heads like Mario. When you start the game you have a few handy items at your disposal. A single touch and it’s back to the beginning for you. While exploring each level is fun, don’t dawdle too long as a giant ghost will eventually appear after a set length of time. Levels are randomly generated filled with enemies, traps as well as many mysteries for the player to discover for themselves. You need to overcome multiple levels of increasing difficulty in Spelunky to be in with a chance to reach the ultimate prize. Though there is an utterly brilliant trap where you can take a mini idol and a giant boulder falls from the ceiling destroying everything in its path maybe you as well if you’re not quick enough.
