I'm not sure I understand the problem. It's Windows only if you're on Linux/Macintosh, unfortunately. It's a zip file, you have to extract if before you open the folder. Sorry if I sound like I'm patronizing you, I just really want more people to play this game!

In reference to my p.s. in my last comment, my internet connection has been sketchy as of late. I think I have it now, so don't worry about it.

After 480 Deaths and 6 Wins, I'm still playing this game and sucking my friends into it. I'm gonna force my roommate to purchase this game. ^^
Any time a well known indie game makes it's way to more people, it's great news. I'll definitely be checking this out, both free PC version and XBLA version when it comes out.
What keeps me playing spelunky even though I've beaten the game ONCE (after 250+ total deaths), is the fact that there's so many "screts" and even higher end-game stuff that I've yet to accomplish. And I'm not talking silly meta-game stuff like "Kill 100 enemies!" (even though doing so can unlock the challenge rooms), but beating the game is only the tip of the iceburg.
Before I could get past the first few levels, I would simply keep playing for anticipation of trying to get to the next area and to see what it would be like.
Then after unlocking shortcuts, and discovering the ice level, I tried and kept playing to reach the final level and possibly beat it.
Now that I've beaten it after all this time, there's so much more to discover. Such as playing a level in the Jungle zone, with the "restless dead" event can cause a crystal skull to spawn, which is worth a whopping 30,000 gold (!!).
But currently the reason why I occasionally play is not only because of the little mini-adventures that happen but because I really want to get to the City of Gold, which is a semi-hidden area on the Temple zone of the game, where you can only get to it after you've found all the "ancient items" in the game that unlock the door.
I've yet to do this even though I've gotten close.

I saw this yesterday and wanted to get the news out, I'm glad you made the post about it! I'll be getting this (and by that I mean getting my friends to get it because I don't have a 360)

Wait... isn't this already on Japanese PSN?
What? Do you have a link, I've never heard of that o_O:

Also, the 1.0 version came out and he's going to open up the source code this year for everyone and anyone to mod the game.
@people talking about Spelunky on PSN
No, you are thinking of Spelunker HD. Spelunky is a game inspired by the original Spelunker for the Atari. Spelunker HD though is an HD remake of the original game that offers co-op play and two graphic options: One 2.5D looking game and the other with a more 8-bit but still colorful and stylish look. I don't know much else, but Sony need to release it here ASAP.

Man oh man, I've forced myself not to download or read anything about Version 1.0 so all the secrets will be new to me. I'm throwing money at this the first chance I get.
@Anifanatic Yeah you're right. My mistake :) But I am looking forward to Spelunker HD, and speak of the devil - published yesterday: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/02/spelunker-hd-explores-psn-in-america/
