Spelunky

A 2D platformer about a cave explorer who collects treasure, rescues damsels and dodges traps. Every level is procedurally generated, and death sends you back to the start, so success comes from learning how the game's systems interact. Up to four players can share the screen in local co-op or deathmatch. Is it your kind of game?
