Spelunky 2 is a platform adventure about Ana Spelunky searching for her family beneath the surface of the Moon. Each run sends you into caves whose rooms, traps, enemies and treasures are arranged differently. A death usually ends the run and sends you back to the beginning, but the knowledge you gained stays with you. You do not need to finish the first Spelunky to understand the goal, although its fast-changing caves and unforgiving mistakes are part of this sequel too.
Read full overview
Move through each level toward its exit while deciding whether a risky side path is worth the treasure. Your starting ropes help you climb upward, while bombs can open a route through rock; both are limited, so check the room before spending one. Look for arrow traps in walls, spikes below narrow platforms and moving enemies before jumping into a new area. Carrying a pet to the exit can restore health, but an extra heart may not be worth a dangerous detour. Many surprising interactions are the fun of Spelunky, so a careful first attempt is a better teacher than racing the clock without looking ahead. Local or online play lets friends join, though the screen can become more chaotic with several explorers.
Mossmouth developed and published Spelunky 2, launching it first on PlayStation 4 on September 15, 2020. PC and other console releases followed later. Its cave art, characters and logo on this page are official game imagery rather than fan art or an unrelated cave photograph. The game remains a sequel distinct from the original Spelunky and its earlier HD remake.
