Spelunky Is A Planning Game
- Spelunky’s pacing is closer to a turn-based roguelike than a twitch platformer.
- That chess-like planning is central to how the game feels and plays.

- Prefer bombing around danger early rather than engaging directly until you're advanced.

- Consider using shortcuts to practice new world mechanics without risking full runs.
- But also play from the start to learn progression-dependent resource management.
