Pros
Pro Roguelike origins allow for quick sessions
Being that Spelunky is at its heart a roguelike the gameplay sessions can tend to be quick as the player will die quite often. This makes for something that can be played in quick bursts throughout the day. the convenient saving also lends to this as a game that is still ongoing can be quickly saved in order to be picked up at a later time.
Pro Expanded gameplay through mods
Ranging from Mega Man to Metroid, there are a tone of great mods for Spelunky all of which make for a new experience in the game which vastly expands the replayability.
Pro Up to 4 player local co-op
Spelunky features 4 player local co-op where players share the same screen, which can get a bit hectic.
Pro Skill based gameplay
Spelunky gives the player everything needed to succeed from the start so it is only when the players skills get better will they advance.
Cons
Con Difficult to the point of frustration
Spelunky is pretty difficult and some could say abusive, but with practice and a desire for masochism the game can be mastered.
Con Co-op is boring and confusing
In co-op this game is very confusing with little instruction on how to play and with little to spice up the game play it gets boring quickly.
