Download Spelunky Classic
Version 0.1.19 of the port, as a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. It's free, and it updates itself: it checks once a day, between runs, and asks first. Or play in your browser.
macOS
macOS 11 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
Also as a disk image: Universal dmg (30.2 MB).
Installing
- Open the zip (Safari opens it itself), or the disk image, to get Spelunky Classic.
- Move it to Applications (the disk image has it beside a link to drag it onto), and open it. It's signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens as any app does.
Windows
Windows 10 or later.
Installing
- Extract the zip (right-click it, Extract All) to a folder of your own, such as your Documents: not Program Files, where the app can't update itself.
- Run
spelunky.exein it. The app isn't signed, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway.
Linux
glibc 2.31 or later (Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11 and later), with ALSA and Vulkan.
Also as tarballs: x64 tar.gz (17.6 MB), ARM64 tar.gz (16.7 MB).
Installing
- Make it executable:
chmod +x spelunky-0.1.19-linux-x64.AppImage, or tick "Allow executing file as program" in its properties. - Run it. On a system without FUSE, run it with
--appimage-extract-and-run. - Or extract a tarball (
tar -xzf spelunky-0.1.19-linux-x64.tar.gz) and runspelunkyin its folder. That copy doesn't update itself: it tells you when there's a new version, and links its release.
Other files and versions
Every earlier version is on GitHub: 0.1.19's release notes and files, and all releases.
To check a download, each file's SHA-256 is in the release's SHA256SUMS, with its notes.
Saves
The apps keep your stats, highscores, settings and levels apart from the app, for each user, so an update or a new download keeps them: in ~/Library/Application Support/Spelunky Classic on macOS, %APPDATA%\Spelunky Classic on Windows, and ~/.local/share/spelunky-classic on Linux. A browser's saves stay in the browser.
