The game tests players' platforming skills to the limit. Controlling the "Spelunker", an exceptionally fragile character, players must navigate treacherous environments filled with deadly pitfalls, traps, and enemies. Even a short fall of just a few inches can instantly kill the Spelunker, forcing players to meticulously plan each jump and movement. This uncompromising, rigid gameplay is a core part of the Spelunker franchise's identity, providing a substantial challenge that separates skilled players from the rest.
Up to 4 players can team up and tackle the game's challenging levels together. Teamwork is essential, as players must communicate and coordinate their movements to safely navigate the hazardous environments. Certain paths and obstacles can only be overcome with the help of multiple players, who can also revive each other when someone inevitably meets an untimely demise. The cooperative aspect adds a new layer of strategy, as players must work in tandem to progress.
As players progress, they'll unlock a wide array of costumes, accessories, and pet companions that provide various benefits. These include increased oxygen supply, protection from specific hazards, and the ability to retrieve hidden items. Players can collect "Litho-orbs" throughout the levels to obtain these upgrades, which can then be further leveled up to enhance their effects. This extensive customization and progression system allows players to tailor their Spelunker to their playstyle and overcome the game's challenges more effectively.
The game encourages thorough exploration, as hidden keys, treasure, and other secrets are often tucked away in hard-to-reach areas. Players must use their platforming skills, items, and problem-solving abilities to navigate the intricate cave systems and uncover all that the game has to offer. The levels are designed with a variety of environmental puzzles and obstacles that require players to think creatively and experiment with different strategies to progress.
