What is Spelunky like?
Up to four descend into the cave on the same screen, saving or trap-killing each other.
Up to four of you share one screen and go down through randomly generated cave levels together, and you can help each other or get in each other's way. Each new run gives you different levels. There's also a deathmatch mode with 72 unlockable arenas where you fight each other or bots. Co-op and deathmatch are local only, so everyone has to be in the same room; the only online part is the solo daily challenge.
Will your group like it?
Groups on the same couch who like a hard platformer and laugh when a friend lands in a trap.
Groups who play from different houses, because there's no online co-op.
