The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a chaotic, tense, and punishing platforming adventure where each run feels surprising and precarious, often with darkly humorous deaths.

What players say

Players describe Spelunky 2 as brutally difficult but deeply rewarding, with precise physics and procedurally generated levels that keep each run fresh. Many note the co-op is unbalanced and clunky compared to the single-player. Long-time fans say it expands on the original, though some prefer Spelunky HD's soundtrack and art style.
