There are 9 different characters to play as. The Xbox Live Arcade, as well as the PlayStation Network versions of the game feature local multiplayer (co-op and deathmatch) for up to four players. Another unlockable character is the "Tunnel Man", who possesses a mattock instead of a whip. It's possible to unlock the damsel as a playable character gameplay is identical, except that the player encounters spelunkers to rescue. Successfully doing so returns health to the player. The player can also encounter damsels in distress trapped in the caves, who can be picked up and carried to an exit. Some items may be purchased or stolen from shops scattered about the caves, though the shopkeepers become powerful enemies if the player steals from them. Some of the latter have supernatural abilities, including kapalas, hedjets, crystal skulls and golden ankhs, though many of these special items can only be gained through secret methods, like combining other items together. The player can collect many items, mainly gold and jewels which add to the player's score, but also useful objects including bombs, guns, climbing gear and archaeological artifacts. If the player loses all their hearts or runs into an instant-kill trap, they will have to start from the beginning.Įnemies include animals like bats, snakes and spiders of varying sizes, other characters, and monsters like yeti, man-eating plants and ghosts. Later areas contain more valuable treasures, secret locations, and items. Levels are randomly generated and grouped into four increasingly difficult "areas", each with a distinctive set of items, enemies, terrain types and special features. The spelunker can whip or jump on enemies to defeat them, pick up items that can be thrown to either attack enemies or set off traps, and use a limited supply of bombs and ropes to navigate the caves. The aim of the game is to explore tunnels, gathering as much treasure as possible while avoiding traps and enemies. The player controls an unnamed adventurer, known as the spelunker.
